Abstract
MIRANDA, Patrícia Ferraz de Carvalho. The subject of the unconscious and its architectures. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2020, n.53, pp.51-55. ISSN 0100-3437.
Desire defines who we are and, to access this desire, one can think of the subject of the unconscious as a piece to be connected by an archaeologist or a piece of a stone block to be sculpted, where nothing is added, only removed. Another way to see the subject of the unconscious is to realize that the real hidden sculpture is the architecture of language. This matrix of the chain of signifiers is driven by our desire, desire that is language, intention of language, and act of language.
Keywords : Subject of the unconscious; Chain of signifiers; Language architecture; Desire.
