MAYERHOFFER, Mariana Abreu. Notes on the political act in the Movement of Psychoanalytic Entities Brazilian Articulation. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2014, n.42, pp.73-79. ISSN 0100-3437.

The question of how to think about the political act within the Brazilian Movement of Articulation of Psychoanalytical Entities is the aim of this paper. It conceives the analytic act as defined at Seminar book 15 by Lacan. There the analytic act is outlined as one that, not eluding the Other’s dimension, causes consequences that refer to the splitting effect on the subject by the object “a”, leaving the interrogation of how, departing from the analytical act, would define the act in general, the act that he “doesn’t name”. In this brief reflection we try to see if a political act that stems from the experience of the Articulation, could be defined as an act that establishes a division among a collectivity, bringing us the issue of how this division would be verified. If we name as a political act some of the interferences of this Movement - that changed the course of what was being proposed about legalizing psychoanalytic practice and which would deprive of its structural condition of not being legalizable - we would have to think about how to check the effect of division, which is only subjectively verifiable. How could a collectivity witness effects of act in this field of action named Articulation?
