BENTO, Victor Eduardo Silva. Would there be a lacan’s psychoanalytical semiology?. Aletheia [online]. 2007, n.25, pp. 177-190. ISSN 1413-0394.

A literature review was done about the following issue: Would there be a Lacan’s “Psychoanalytical Semiology”? Historical antecedents of this problem were discussed, emphasizing the contributions of Saussure in the structural linguistics and structural semiology areas; Lévi-Strauss in the structural anthropology domain; and Freud in “Totem and Taboo”. Concerning Lacan’s notion of “Psychoanalytical Semiology”, in “L’instance de la lettre dans l’inconscient ou la raison depuis Freud”, we discussed this question: “Would Lacan’s hypothesis about the “unconscious structured as a language” follow the logic of a “Freudian semiology of dream”? We concluded that there is an implicit semiological thought in Lacan’s work. The influence here would not come from Saussure’s semiology, but from Freud’s science of dreams.

Keywords : Lacan; Semiology; Psychoanalysis.
