O objeto a, o gozo e a mística de São João da Cruz: um percurso na psicanálise lacaniana

Abstract

The concept of object a, in Jacques Lacan's lessons, have prime position in the field of enjoyment (jouissance). Das Ding, as the ineffable It that lies in the intimate exteriority of the human subjectivity, is a prelude to what will become the object a and is seen by some authors as the lost object of mankind, while object a is the lost object of the individual history. of a person. In his latest formulations on enjoyment, Lacan introduces the field of the feminine, which is not all referred to the phallic signifier. The enjoyment of the mystics is presented in Seminar Book XX, in which the table of formulas of sexuation is used to rate enjoyment modes and can be considered to be as a part of female enjoyment. Gender inequality leads to the Lacanian assertion that there is no relation between the sexes, since there is only one possible inscription of a signifier of the sexual difference in the unconscious - the phallus. This non-relation between the sexes enhances the imminent sublimatory characteristic of pulsional activity, and Lacan's sublimation is synonymous of elevating the object to the dignity of the thing. Object a, in its radical and real dimension of lack, reveals the logical anteriority of desire, which is the founding cause of the subject of the unconscious, and points out the feminine field as the ultimate destiny of human experience, more inclined to the impossible of saying - proper to the field. of real – willing the pursuit of the good saying. The mystic, who doesn’t stop in front of this impossible, makes void the center of his subjective experience, drifting apart and uniting with the Absolute.
