NOOY, Juliana de. The source of image: an image of the source. J. psicanal. [online]. 2011, vol.44, n.80, pp. 229-238. ISSN 0103-5835.

The Narcissus myth, as an object both of fiction and of theory, and dealt with by both writers and analysts, has undergone a series of transformations. In describing the projection of one’s self imago and the attempt to mingle with it or to identify with it, the numerous tales range from the tragic (Ovid) to the triumphant (Lacan). What binds them all to one another is - strangely enough - the notion of a source. The mirror in each case is closely linked to an origin. And it is the way one interprets this relationship which separates tragedy from triumph. Starting out from Derridian perspective, we show that the relationship between the mirror image and the idea of a source is far from being merely a chance one.

Palavras-chave : Derrida; Freud; Lacan; Narcissism; Mirror stage.
