Trauma as an Encounter With the Real
p. 81-91
Abstract
Starting from an explicitation of anticipation as a dynamic movement between living systems and their environments that is (i) a symbolic process; (ii) motivated by a search for satisfaction; (iii) a social movement, we will question the limits of anticipatory processes in psychic phenomena. In this questioning, Lacan's orders of the imaginary, the symbolic and the real are central concepts that lead to an elaboration of the relationship between the real, trauma and anticipation. In a first step, we will briefly discuss Freud and Lacan's conception of trauma. In a second step, we will oppose trauma and the lacanian notion of the phantasm. On the one hand, this leads to an elaboration on trauma as the origin of the coming into being of the subject and on the other hand, this permits a characteization of trauma as an encounter with the real.
