La vida en las palabras: escritura y subjetividad

Abstract

Partiendo de una pregunta sobre la escritura y de un interrogante sobre lo que Jacques Lacan denomina savoir faire del artista, en su seminario sobre Joyce, hemos abordado la función de la escritura, inseparable de un cuestionamiento sobre la lectura y el lenguaje, tanto desde el psicoanálisis, como desde otros ámbitos del saber. ¿Qué podría aportar el medio artístico a este concepto con el que Lacan nos introduce su teoría del sinthome? Siguiendo esa lógica, hemos indagado en la esencia misma de la experiencia psíquica del acto creativo. Y también hemos escuchado aquello que algunos autores exponen sobre su experiencia creativa.

Starting with a question about writing and about what Lacan, in his seminar on Joyce, describes as the savoir faire of the artist, we have addressed the function of writing, which is inseparable from challenging the concept of reading and language, both from a psychoanalytical perspective as well as from other areas of knowledge. What could the artistic context add to that concept, which is what Lacan uses to introduce us to his theory of the sinthome? In line with that logic, we have explored the essence of the psychic experience: the creative act itself. And, meanwhile, we have also listened to what some authors had to say about their creative experiences.
