Corpo à mostra: consequências clínicas da relação corpo/discurso

Abstract

This study comprises a theoretical and clinical approach to the consequences of the body/discourse relation. It is based on Psychoanalysis and aims to interrogate the body in its relation to Knowledge, to the Symbolic register, to its Imaginary constitution, to the body as a surface captured and sustained by the scopic drive and to the the register of the Real, privileged place of what is written of a non-inscriptable remain as a trace of the encounter with the lalague . The events of the body are studied towards a distinction from what can be compared to the conversive symptoms in Hysteria from fragments of the case study Amanda and from psychosomatic phenomena (contributions from the psychoanalytical literature are taken). The symptoms are circumscribed as formations of the unconscious understood inside the phantasmatical structure and inside the specific formation of psychosomatic phenomena, located in a stage prior to the phantasm. The possible ways of interventions in the Psychoanalytical Clinic are regarded in contrast to the medical discourse, promoting a discussion between the medical anatomophysiologic body and the body of language as understood in Psychoanalysis
