Lacan on Freud's 'death instinct,' from the Function and Field of Speech and language in Psychoanalysis"<br /><br />",,, the definition of life... as the set of forces that resist death..as the function of a system maintaining its own equilibrium, are there to remind us the life and death come together in the relation of a polar opposites at he very heart of phenomena that people associate with life.... Hence the congruence of the contrasting terms of the death instinct with... repetition [...] This notion of the death instinct must be broached through its resonances in what I will call the poetics of Freud's work [...]<br />what is at stake here is a myth of the dyad [...] the historicizing temporality of the experience of transference, so the death instinct essentially expresses the limit of the subject's historical function. This limit is death--not as the possible end date of the individual's life,nor as the subject's empirical certainty, but, as Heidegger puts it, as that 'possibility which is the subject's own most, which is unconditional, unsurpassable, certain, and as such indeterminable' --the subject being understood as defined by his historicity."<br /><br />all there, even repetition... synchronicity!Jacob Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090220157886320148noreply@blogger.com
