PRINCIPIOS DEL SÍNTOMA: DEL DESCIFRAMIENTO AL GOCE

This paper seeks to clear up some principles to the understanding of the symptom by addressing the Freudian and Lacanian texts in order to elucidate the constitution of meaning in the symptom, its genesis, its unconscious status, its relation to the satisfaction of the drive, and thereby to understand the jouissance of the symptom. This implies to turn the principles that both Freud and Lacan state in their theory and thus to understand these questions: Why does a symptom come alive? How does a symptom achieve to say something? And even more, why does a subject enjoy his/her symptom? Approaching an answer allows us to take a position on the clinic of the symptom to think about its orientation
