FARIA, Juliana Sperandio. The out-body: impasses between holophrase and letter. Stylus (Rio J.) [online]. 2019, n.39, pp.135-146. ISSN 1676-157X.

The differences between the psychosomatic phenomenon and the symptom are clarified in the psychoanalysis clinic by the holophrase concept, as Lacan presented during his 11^th Seminar. However, the holophrase was already an announcement of a symbolic rupture, given that it appears as a real signifier, or as an S₁ out of the chain. This is the reason why we can call a holophrase an out-body referring to the "symbolic body". The real problem was established in the decade of 1970, when Lacan defines the symptom as a letter, a mark of the One, which is out-body. Thus, the question is: holophrase, is that a letter? What kind of "body" was Lacan talking about? The development in the Lacanian theory related to the concepts of the body, the unconscious and the symptom imply a study about what the effects in the body between those two are.

Keywords : Letter; Holophrase; Symptom; Body; Unconscious.
