SUMMARY:

This thesis discusses the concepts of sublimation and sinthome in psychoanalysis. This is theoretical research in psychoanalysis. Our objective in this work is to understand if there is any relationship between these two concepts and the reason why Lacan stopped using the concept of sublimation, already well elaborated in his teaching, and started to use the concept of sinthome when dealing with the case of the artist James Joyce. To this end, we start from a thorough investigation of Freud's work with the intention of mapping all the significant points in which Freud addresses the concept of sublimation as well as its conceptual articulations. In the same way, we investigate Lacan's works up to his VII seminar, in which he brings his main definition concerning sublimation, the one that places sublimation as the process, which consists in raising the object to the dignity of the Thing (das Ding). Das Ding is an object that is forever lost. It is the lost object of human history, a fundamental concept for understanding the problem of sublimation in Lacan. We have discussed sublimation as what gives the drive its true status. Sublimation is on the side of creation, not restoration. In a second moment, we approach sublimation from the "Seminar XIV", which has new conceptual and methodological resources, such as the object a, logic and topology. We also discuss sublimation in articulation with other concepts, such as: repetition, alienation, transference, passage to the act and acting-out. Lacan, in Seminar XIV, tells us that there is no sexual act. However, we understand that sublimation is a solution for sexual satisfaction that does not exist, just as the sinthome makes the relationship exist, but not the equivalence between the sexes. We also discuss the relationship between the Woman and das Ding. Through courtly love, as a paradigm of sublimation, Woman is raised to the dignity of the Thing. We understand that it was the crossing of the body that was the main reason why Lacan stopped using sublimation in seminar XVI, and in seminar XXIII he came to use sinthome. In a third moment, before approaching the sinthome, we approach the registers of the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary, in order to arrive at the Borromean knot, which, in turn, sustains the Real. We have seen that the sinthome is a reference to the Name-of-the-Father. It is different from the symptom-metaphor and the symptom-letter. It is a repair in the Borromean chain or knot exactly where the lapse happened. We then come to the footstool, which is a sublimation in its intersection with a narcissism revisited by Lacan, as a belief that the speaking-being has a body. We conclude that sublimation is what deals with the jouissance of the body, and the sinthome sustains the body, linking the three registers and allowing that, after doing sinthome, we can reach sublimation and, therefore, through the footstool, the singularized UOMem.
