Abstract
RUIZ ALBARRAN, Enrique Israel. Thinking nature with Lacan: signifier, split subject and object ɑ. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2018, n.39, pp.125-145. ISSN 2594-0619.
The author explores here three concepts to “think” nature according to the discourse of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. Assuming three notions inherent to his theory: signifier, split subject and production of object ɑ, his discussion focuses on the contemporary idea that the understanding of nature is historically determined phenomenon and intimately linked to language. At the same time, introduces the problem of the constitution of subjectivity in its encounter with the real of the physis, a contingent encounter that becomes foundational. Such is it’s “effect” on the subject, that divides it, summoning it to put certain psychic objects ɑ, while they are lost in the structure of language.
Keywords : signifier; split subject; object ɑ.
