Abstract

CARVALHO, Jeanne D'Arc. The writing of what is lost. Estilos clin. [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.24, pp. 72-83. ISSN 1415-7128.

The article deals with an approach to knowing and knowledge from the psychoanalytical theory, which states that intellectual curiosity stems from sexual curiosity. The knowledge thus obtained revolves around a lack embodied in the structure of language, a 'knowing in failure'. Considering intellectual inhibition as one of the consequences of the child's self-explorations, it is theorized that writing is a construct that operates an 'act of separation' from the Other, like the effect of a loss.

Keywords : loss; knowing; inhibition; desire; writing.
