La pulsion à traduire : animalité, rêve et psychosomatique de l’humain (Freud, Laplanche, Dejours)

Abstract

This article is an inquiry into the specific

animality of human through a reading of

psychoanalysis centered in the articulation of

biological body and erotic body. With this in

mind, we study the aforesaid libidinal

subversion process or anaclisis and the passage

from instinct to pulsion. We articulate the

problem of phylogenesis and the problem of

the “autonomy” of the psychic apparatus just

as their interactions. Such a research extends

itself in a psychosomatic inquiry, where the

erotic body’s vulnerability refers to that of the

biological one and vice versa. The dream-work

is one of the keys of that reading. Nietzschean

keys for understanding underlies also the

whole article, which investigates at last the

relevance of the Darwinian theoretical

framework, and ends by a new thematizing of

both human and non human animal.
