VIEIRA, Marcus André. Affect, Emotion, Passion: the Lacanian approach. []. , 32, 1, pp.185-198. ISSN 0103-5665.  https://doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0032n01A09.

This paper introduces the Lacanian reading of Freud's statements on affect, relating it to the clinical psychoanalytic experience. Three subjective phenomena are described and distinguished: emotion, affect and passion. The physiological approach is set aside and the rhetorical one is emphasized. Finally, the author describes in which ways Lacan's remarks, that stress the ethical view over the passion, go further than the moral rules of one's society, and brings the kind of reflection on action and on what is a subjective event that can be approached through poetry.

: Lacan; Freud; affect; emotion; passion.
