| Sumario: | The Lacanian conception of a split and decentered subject and its consequences, implicated in language and discourse, radically subverted a significant part of the field of studies concerning discursiveness. We can inscribe Ernesto Laclau's outstanding Theory of Discourse as a deepening of this Lacanian subversion, incorporated into a comprehensive investigation of socio-political and identity processes. In this article, we promote an analysis of the theoretical implications of the psychoanalytic device present in his Theory of Discourse from three directions: (A) the assumptions of 'irreducibility of meaning' and 'logic of the signifier' as a starting point; (B) and the implication of the category ‘split and decentralized subject’ imposed on the grounding of the field of discourse ‘beyond the areas of speech or writing’; (C) The third axis, the most explored, articulates the theoretical relationship between ‘discourse, pulsional field and enjoyment (la juissance)’, rethought by Laclau in the limits and consequences of the political. Finally, we propose some formalizations as a way to demonstrate the explicit theoretical game. |
