This article develops some considerations about teaching and researching in psychoanalysis at the University. The existence of Lacanian psychoanalysis in Latin America has become increasingly strong, either on its continuous training activity in the schools of psychoanalysis, either on its intense editorial production or their numerous presences at the university as the place where different knowledge are confronted. Whereas all research in the field of psychoanalysis is clinical, and every clinic in psychoanalysis is about discomfort, we consider this notion as crucial to understand that there is always a real in game, impossible to symbolize, and this is a fact of structure. Having been created by a desire of Freud to help decreasing the soul pain with his proposal to substitute the neurotic suffering by an ordinary unhappiness, this paper aims to verify the place of psychoanalysis at the university, from its work on the elements that are left aside by modern science which, at the same time, creates the condition of possibility for its existence. The psychoanalysis is considered the daughter of modern science, but a bastard daughter, at the same time intimate and strange, which turns out to deal with the waste of science. As science excluded the subject of its field, it is up to psychoanalysis to receive him in his discomfort.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; subject; malaise; University.
