KRAUT, Daniel Schoffer. About pleasure and jouissance.Translated byClaudia Berliner. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2015, vol.49, n.2, pp. 117-125. ISSN 0486-641X.

In this paper, we discuss the hole of the real, taking into consideration the concepts of pleasure and jouissance (joy). As Freud said, we only learn when our defense fails, because, in this way, the repressed returns and the instinctual impulse finds a substitute mode to relieve itself, even if it is a mutilated, inhibited, and displaced substitute, which is no longer able to be recognized as satisfaction, and does not bring pleasure but jouissance (joy). Pleasure and jouissance. Freudian pleasure and Lacanian jouissance. In his work Beyond the pleasure principle, Freud says the essential part of the repressed cannot be remembered, and it does not repeat itself in order to bring back a pleasurable experience, but it does in order to live an experience that could not be lived. On the other hand, Lacan believes it is the sexual that is excluded from the discourse - in the side of jouissance, which remains outside the word, as an experience of the real. Therefore, it is about the jouissance of the body, as a real experience, the body that remains outside the discourse, and about which we can only speak through its looks (facial expressions). This jouissance is brought forth when the subject is captured by language. This is a remainder that lalangue cannot mean.

Keywords : pleasure; jouissance; imaginary; symbolic; real; other; mirror phase/mirror stage; drive/instinct.
