Abstract

This study aims to essay a possible relationship between French Discourse Analysis (DA) and Psychoanalysis (Freud and Lacan). In order to carry out this purpose, we shall attempt to understand the notion of silence by means of concepts from both theories. From Discourse Analysis, we shall use concepts such as ideology, discursive formations, paraphrase, polysemy, subject-position and the oblivions enunciated by Pêcheux. From Psychoanalysis, we shall use concepts such as the faulty achievement (Fehlleistung), subject, Other, the Borromean knot and the unconscious. In this manner, we approach the field of meaning and of non-sense, allowing for an understanding of how the dialectic between subject and language is operated through silence, a silence which illustrates the aspect of the impossible in this relationship. In order to elucidate this theme, we present as corpus the text \"Forgetting of Proper Names\", published by Freud in three different versions: an article published in a newspaper of the time, the chapter of The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, and two letters on this topic written to Fliess. We shall observe how these three versions interrelate and legitimize the constitution of the subject-positions of Freud, as well as the appearance of the subject of the unconscious in the signifier chain. This occurs, we shall verify, due to this aspect of silence in language, which refers to a double impossibility: both in face of the said and in face of the Real. This will refer us to the incompleteness of language and the opacity of meaning, which can be glimpsed through extracts of Freud\'s text that indicate the authors paraphrasial movements. Thus, from the linguistic-discursive clues found within the text, it is possible to grasp concepts key to both theories, which refer to subjective constitution in the present day. (FAPESP) (AU)
