O tempo lógico como índice da singularidade da estrutura lacaniana

Abstract

In this paper, we try to clarify an apparent contradiction, namely, that concerning the structuralism of Jacques Lacan and the assertion of a subject in his teaching, two components supposedly aimed at annulling each other. Since structuralism was precisely that which made the reference to subject useless, one might ask how a theory that tries to reconcile the two do not completely ruin itself in the most absolute nonsense. However, there is a tendency to forget that Lacan tries to think the subject precisely by the structure, attempting to establish something like a theory of contradiction. To indicate this, we will perform the analysis of a text of the pre-structuralist Lacan, looking at what remains of those first theoretical efforts.
