The Economis of Joussance
αναδημοσίευση από το Lacan.com
[…]The
word "economics" has a purely Freudian origin. Freud used the term
economics to refer to the point of view to be taken regarding libido—its
circulation, its organization—which should be distinguished from the
topographical distribution of the unconscious, the subconscious, and the
conscious. The economic point of view, given by Freud when he was
engaged in the elaboration of psychoanalysis, was already distinct from
the wonders which appeared before him from interpretation as a
deciphering.
Deciphering was Lacan's starting point. He had given its foundation in the "structure of language" — between inverted commas — taken from structural linguistics — a loan which followed on the footsteps of Lévi-Strauss, who had himself been taught by Roman Jakobson. Lacan brought a number of modifications to this structure of language, so that it could be of use to psychoanalysis, so that it could serve it. It was a matter of signifiers, of signifying elements, of signification effects, and of the relationship between signifier and signified. Lacan had added to his pot the theory of communication, which was a matter of speaker and recipient, of message, of reading and punctuation.
The economics of jouissance is something else altogether.
After twenty years' worth of constructions, Lacan was able to say that it still wasn't within his grasp. Is it any more within our grasp now — we who followed him in his last effort, in this turning which consists in trying to give this economics of jouissance an articulation which might prevail with regard to the structure of language?[…]
