Abstract

FRANCA NETO, Oswaldo. Outlines for a theory of the subject: with Badiou and psychoanalysis. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2023, vol.55, n.1, pp. 78-97. ISSN 0101-4838.

Based on the assumption that with Descartes the question that underlies the constitution of modernity is what the subject would be, this text proposes to explore developments on this issue with Alain Badiou's theorizations as a reference and some basic concepts that we learn to read in psychoanalysis. He tries to demonstrate the impasses that we find when we try to establish formalizations about the subject, impasses that would be in the constitution of modern humans. It also works on the intersections and implications of these paradoxical formalizations with concepts equally dear to psychoanalysis such as symptom, body, and truth, as well as resonances that we could unfold between the formal typology of the subject proposed by Badiou and formalizations on this theme that we could infer from reading the works by Freud and Lacan.

Keywords : Subject; symptom; body; truth.
