Lacan's subject at the moment of a displaced cartesian maneuver

Abstract

Crossing Descartes and withdrawing himself from whatconcerns conscience in the Cartesian thought, Lacan starts to delimit, in the paradoxical context of structuralism, the place rhat he needs to guarantee to the subject. There with, it is articulated how the unconscious thought requires him and, therefore, the place of the strategy can be understood as a first counterpart to the structuralist prescription towards the elimination of such category as it presentsa way of connecting a certainty to the existencial affirmation of the subject. However, to be fitted in a research program thar includes a theory of language in which the word annuls the being, allowing to think subjecrivity as a de-substancialized phenomenon, the cogito must be read through the screen of the equivocal characrer of self representation, fact that claims its total re-interpretation.
