OLIVEIRA, Marianna T. de; WINOGRAD, Monah  e  FORTES, Isabel. The death drive against the death drive: the necessary negativity. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2016, vol.28, n.2, pp. 69-88. ISSN 0103-5665.

Traditionally defined as traumatic, as what frays apart representational network and feeds the compulsion to repeat, taking the psychism to exhaustion and dissolution, the death drive presents another face which must be stressed and that is the central object this article. If it performs the work of the negative, the negativity it expresses boosts subjectivation because its activity and its effects are absolutely necessary, among others, for the construction of the double psychic limit (Green) and the achievement of the first real psychic work (Rosenberg). This is the paradox that we intend to investigate: only through the shutdowns, the emptinesses, the divisions and separations generated by the death drive, the symbolization processes can proliferate, enrich itselfes and the psyche can complexify. We start analyzing the death drive as a disruptive force. Then we describe the notions of linking and unlinking. Finally, we demonstrate the need to think negativity as necessary and fundamental to the subjective processes.

Palavras-chave : death drive; work of the negative; negativity; trauma.
