MARTINS, Luiz Paulo Leitão. The issue of the difficulty of psychoanalysis: a reading of the unconscious between negativity and difference. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2016, vol.28, n.1, pp.59-81. ISSN 0103-5665.

This article presents an analysis of the essay "A difficulty of psychoanalysis", by Sigmund Freud, based on a consideration about the destinies of the unconscious concept in psychoanalytic thought. With the Freudian text about the "Negation" as an interpretive key, we propose two modalities of the unconscious presentation, one by exclusion and another by denegation, which define a negative approach of this concept in psychoanalysis. If the fields of the subject of identity and of representation are kept on the horizon of thought, the unconscious as difference cannot indeed be promoted. A second approach is undertaken in the attempt to affirm the unconscious beyond those fields. We resort to the analyses developed by Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek of the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan, so that the negativity achieves another status. If the psychoanalysis unconscious reaches the fields of subject and truth, so that an effective encounter with the concept real dimension becomes possible. The destination of this encounter, consequently, is the affirmation of the difficulty in thought and the formation of a subject of difference in psychoanalysis.

Palabras clave : unconscious; truth; thought; negativity; difference.
