The fantasme as writing: logical consistency, consistency of the body

Abstract

The fantasme becomes a fundamental dimension in the field of psychoanalysis to think about what supports a defined subject from the lack of being. In the specific case of Lacan's work, the ghost is intertwined in a series of elaborations through which Lacan interrogates fundamental clinical dimensions of our praxis: repetition, drive, jouissance, desire. It is also a notable example of how the French author can make use of resources found in other disciplines to put them at the service of the specific problems of analytical practice, and hence one of his most important considerations about the fantasy is to take it to the dimension of writing, which implies an elaboration of castration that is placed in the antipodes of the anecdote.
