Konstrukcija v prekoračitvi fantazme

Jacques Nassif’s commentary on Freud’s analysis of the fustigation fantasy (“A child is being beaten”) offers several incisive points of entry into Freud’s conceptualization of fantasy and its relation to other central notions of psychoanalysis. This text examines its connection to the drives, as well as the distinction between the structural, the individual, and the singular in fantasy formation, emphasizing Freud’s notion of “construction in analysis” as pivotal. It highlights the difference between the “fundamental fantasy” and the so-called “original fantasies,” and proposes an articulation of the relation between drives and fantasy grounded in the concept of primal repression (Urverdrängung).
