El duelo, entre la falta y la pérdida

Abstract

The impossibility of substituting

one object for another arises due

to the existence of a remainder,

which is the effect of alterity and

of the singularity of the other. Understanding

the difference between

lack and loss makes it possible to

understand this irreducibility. Lack

is the fundament of the subject and

it only takes shape with loss and

consent, an experience that belongs

to the order of the feminine. The

feminine also appears in the excess

that is characteristic of mourning,

as that which escapes discourse.

The article also analyzes the consequences

for clinical psychoanalysis

of the position assumed regarding

mourning
