LUSTOZA, Rosane Zétola. Outline of a Unified Theory of Anguish at Lacan's Seminar X. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp.1108-1126. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.62730.

This article proposes the outline of a unified theory of anguish in Seminar 10, aiming to provide a reading key that allows to connect the different formulations in the works of Freud and Lacan. The idea of unity must be understood in the structuralist sense. This means privileging relationships and not terms, that is, finding the rule of composition of the set of concepts. Starting from the pair of opposites anguish as lack of lack x anguish as a sign of desire, it's shown that the affections that make up the terms of the pair have a relationship: while the first would be a condition for the possibility of desire, the second supposes a constituted desire. The existence of anguish related to jouissance and anguish related to desire is discussed, demonstrating that the unfolding of the anguish formula finds support in the Freudian text. It's argued that the Lacanian pair of opposites corresponds to the Freudian pair automatic anguish x sign of anguish. It's concluded that, despite the plurality of definitions, it's possible to find a logic that crosses them.
