Derrida's writing: Notes on the freudian model of language

Abstract

We intend to resume the debate of Derrida on the concept of language and its encounter with psychoanalysis. Despite observing the influence of the philosophical tradition of metaphysics on the metapsychological concepts of psychoanalysis, Derrida acknowledges in the Freudian discourse a potential for deconstruction of the concept of language as being associated with a verbal representative activity. Finally, we discuss how the hypothesis of conception of the unconscious as writing and of writing of the unconscious implies another interpretation of discourse in psychoanalysis in which a junction between force and sense is promoted.
