Do rastro de passo ao nenhum rastro: a identificação primordial pelo não um do traço unário

Abstract

The following dissertation begins with the questioning about the path of the lacanians taught that leads to the postulation of the psychoanalysiss subject as the one who self represents among significants. To define a research line that involves the questions that mobilizes us, we elected the problem of identification, according to Freuds approach, as the start point to the subjects study. From the reading about the identifications in Freud, Lacan points the unary trait as the significants primal mark on the newborn beings body, building around this notion his Identification Seminar, spoken between 1961 e 1962. Therefore, we define an internal logic to the present dissertation to the development of its three chapters: we start studying the identifications in Freud, run through pre-psychoanalytic and metapsychological texts about the psychic constitution and arrive at a possible construction of part of the lacaninan path about the formalization of the unary trait notion. In this route, we point to the essential function of the presentification of absence, marking points that draw the constitutive disposition of the loss in Freud, due to his notions of lost object and representation, and in Lacan, due to the notions of sign and significant. Accordingly, the study of denial is led by the lacanian approach of the privation as a primal constitutive lack, revisiting different ways to treat a loss or primary exclusion since the Ausstossung, through the Verwerfung, the Urverdrängung and the notion of subject as -1. This line leads us to the knowledge of the unary trait not as a deletion, or vanishing of the mark, but as an erasure, in other words, the deletion that doesnt undo the mark. Finally, we could indicate the implications of the primal identification study by the unary trait to build the notion of object a and to the study of desire as a metonymy of all signification. Its by the notion of erasure and, consequently, of lack, inside the unary trait idea, that the knowledge of repetition, as a movement that seeks the reunion with the lost object, and, consequently, that the knowledge of the subject as a desirable being can happen. Our first question, in the other hand, was answered by this notion of loss, erasure. The subject represented between significants is the very introduction of a loss in reality; the function of the unary trait is to demarcate the place of the otherness in the input of this loss as a representation, as something able to be found in the Others field.
