Desire, pain and thought. Does thinking transform pain?

Abstract

The field of desire and the figurability and psychic representation paths are constructed in Freud’s metapsychology in 1915. The possible figurabilities, with the repressed unconscious forms-of-action, dreams, flawed acts, symptoms and transference, are representability indicators of the drive in the expression of  the psychic dimension. Field of desire in dialectic with interdiction and thought. Solution of the psychic dimension for anguish. An affection as well as pain. Barbarism, violence and tragedy are different from drama. Freud’s conceptual construction, from Beyond the Pleasure Principle, from 1920, illustrates the theoretical expansions for thinking about destructiveness and traumatic. The field of pain. Freud conceptualizes the death instinct as an intrinsic component to the inorganic origin, of inanimate matter, tends to return to the previous, inorganic state and to absolute rest. Nothing! No life. For Freud, the drive for life and the death instinct have coexisted since birth. Connection, disconnection and intricacy. Dialectical path between desire and pain. Challenges for the thought. Human being, a subject of the unconscious.
