Abstract

BRASIL, Maria Antônia Marques  and  FOLBERG, Maria Nestrovsky. Carnival and its faces: the clovis. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2015, n.43, pp. 67-79. ISSN 0100-3437.

This paper aims to establish a parallel between the Carnival and the content of the Seminar of Jacques Lacan in 1971, book n. 18, called (in French in the original) “D’un discours que ne serait pas du semblant”. When we propose Carnival and its masks as the subject, we can understand the logical concept of signifier. It is possible to compose differences and likenesses of the masks and the faces, to what is actually the Real in the joy of the covered faces, in the Brazilian culture of Carnival. Through the text analysis of Culture and Art involved, these texts make us consider the world where it happens, the human being and his evolution, the peculiar identity of each and everyone facing the chance to get naked so to say, and in this way getting to know himself as the subject, in the case of the groups of Clovis.

Keywords : Carnival; Masks; Clovis; Lacan; Faces.
