CANAVEZ, Fernanda. Between Freud and Foucault: resistance as self-affirmation. []. , 27, 1, pp.225-244. ISSN 0103-5665.

The article is dedicated to the theme of resistance in the clinic so as to extrapolate the view that comprehends it as stagnation point that locks the treatment and, as such, must be overcome. On the contrary, the aim is to sustain it as self-assertion movement and subjectivation. In order to achieve this proposal one departs from the multiplicity of the resistances placed upon the latest moment of the Freudian work for a reading about the notion in Foucault's thought. In this context, resistance presents itself closely linked to power - that in Foucauldian perspective goes beyond the legal model to capillarize the social meshes-, a relationship whose terms do not cancel each other dialectically. The resistance figures as an operator of the freedom of the subject before the structures of domination. Finally, one bets on the power of the psychoanalytic experience as a movement of permanent construction of various modes of oneself. The resistances would be therefore the element to ensure the insubordination to a forged subjectivity.
