PAULON, Clarice Pimentel; TFOUNI, Leda Verdiani  and  BARTIJOTTO, Juliana. Subject and Subjectivity: silent and silenced aspects in the constitution of the senses. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp.230-243. ISSN 1808-4281.

The aim of this article is to investigate the notions of subject and subjectivity in order to gasp constitutive aspects of meaning. In the Discourse Analysis, subjectivity is examined in its relationship with inter and intradiscourse, as well as in the interrelationship between discursive formations, a theoretical field which includes both the materiality of history and the equivocity of the language. In Psychoanalysis, we undertake the constitution of the subject as it is described by Lacan through the maxim "The signifier is what constitutes the subject to another signifier". The notion of silence will be used as a logical operator, not as a phenomenon. Silence is here considered an agent, sometimes limiting and sometimes being limited by the words. In the constitution of subjectivity, it is what permits the illusion of coherence and cohesion of identity, in order to mark a specific subject position. The inclusion of silence into the logic of signification permits it to be taken as the articulator of meaning, which involves analytical hearing through manipulation of the banned. In order to elucidate these aspects, we will take two classical cases of the psychoanalytical literature: Lacan´s Aimée, and Freud´s Proper Names Oblivion.

Keywords : subjectivity; subject; Freudian slip; discourse.
