A realidade mostrada à maneira dos geômetras: um estudo topológico sobre o conceito de realidade em Psicanálise

Abstract

This work discusses the concept of reality in Psychoanalysis. A hybrid method is used between Mathematics, Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, having as the main tool the topology. The geometric method is taken as the inspiration, but subverted by the topology showing. The points of discussion pass through the freudian dualities as the outer and inner worlds and the psychic and material realities. We also discuss lacanian topologies, especially their work on graphs, surface topology, and knots topology. The reality is presented in Freud and Lacan, in the first focusing on the origin and division of the psychic apparatus and in the second from the different topologies. There is a detailed discussion of the concept of repression in Freud to his elaborations on inhibition, symptom and anxiety, later used by Lacan in his borromean theorization as nominations. At the central point are presented two visions of reality that depart from lacanian theorizing and then propose that reality is the effect of the lashing of the three registers with the aid of a fourth link, an effect of having subject. Given our form of abductive inference, it is necessary a demonstration that confirms our thesis, which is done from the case of Wolf Man, that we present in a nodal perspective in several authors who had some contact with this character. We conclude that reality in Psychoanalysis can be thought of as the binding effect of the three registers aided by a fourth link, coextensive with the fact of having subject.
