La implicación del sujeto en la literatura

Abstract

The notion of a persons' subjective implication from the perspective of the process of the construction of self through language is discussed. The modes by which through literary creation a divided social subject (person) is produced as a result of the interplay of meaning and signifiers in relation to the lack of libidinal object is dealt with. This process is studied through a psychoanalytic perspective, because it permits an understanding of the act of literary production as one in which the covering and uncovering of the constitutional lack in the self as subject to the unconscious can be revealed. Literary narrative is seen as something available to the writer as social subject which is related to that lack. How writing is produced in relation to symbolic and imaginary registries is explained. Also the way literature can be understood as a fantasmatic production.
