Abstract

MARCOS, Cristina Moreira. The object in anorexy - since the object's lack to the object nothing. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.3, pp. 987-1004. ISSN 1808-4281.

For psychoanalysis, the anoxeric shows that what counts is not the object, but its absence. More precisely, the object food is not refused, but it occupies the absence of object. This is the central lesson of Lacan on anorexy, the choice of nothing.  In this paper, we try to articulate the status of the object in psychoanalysis, considering the particularity of different cases and their specific subjective position. We will examine two cases, that will show, on the one hand, the anorexic refusal of the object's lack, and, on the other, the identification of with the object. Our main point is the identification of the differential trait of anorexy, either the compesantion or the defense of the desire.

Keywords : anorexy; object; object nothing; lack; psychoanalysis.
