BARROS, Isabel Collier do Rego. In the Limit of time. Rev. Estud. Lacan. [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.4, pp. p-pp. ISSN 1983-0769.

This work intends to analyze three different visions of time, even if not opposed to one another. It will describe the most common vision, referred to the chronological feature of time, in contrast to a first subversion of this conception: the a posteriori time. In order to do so, the author will provide examples extracted from the cinema (Mario Peixoto’s film, Limit, interpreted with the help of some Deleuzian concepts) and psychoanalysis (using the concept of phantasy and the Freudian Nachträglichkeit). At last, a third vision of time will be analyzed, based on what Gilles Deleuze called crystal of time, as well as on Lacan’s analytical act.
