It is no sin to limp: how psychoanalysis articulates to politics

Abstract

Through bibliographical research, the objective of this work is to produce elaborations on the psychoanalyst’s practice that faces the contradiction evidenced by the concept of subject of psychoanalysis and also the delimitation of knowledge marked by ideals present in the field of politics. Such perspective refers to the divisibility of the psychoanalytic subject, located in Freud by the theory of the unconscious and added by Lacan from the definition of the term bévue, through which we question the field of politics that addresses actions that are always faced with a rest, which Lacan calls a stumble. It is concluded that with the expansion of the unconscious from the bévue dimension, Lacan restructures this concept, making it essential to turn to his theory to think about the set of problems of the relationship between subject and politics.
