20.500.12556/DiRROS-28424 Another Body, Another Fantasy Ambivalence, Drive, and the Letter in Freud’s “‘A Child is Being Beaten’” Neko drugo telo, neka druga fantazma ambivalenca, gon in črka v Freudovem »‘Otrok je tepen’« In a 1967 article for Cahiers pour l’Analyse, Jacques Nassif shifts the focus of Freud’s “‘A Child is Being Beaten’” from the aetiology of perversions to the question of fantasy. Nassif concludes that there is a fundamental fantasy exhibited in these cases and conducts an “archaeology” of this fundamental fantasy, locating the origin of fantasy with the origin of sexual difference: castration and the Oedipus complex. In the final lines of the article, Nassif wonders if “another fantasy,” with a different verbalization that corresponds to a “another body,” could be built on this structure, but admits his reading does not permit an answer to this question. I propose that a reading that shifts the focus in the text again provides both an affirmative answer to Nassif’s question as well as indications of an elaboration. On my reading, without abandoning Nassif, ambivalence is the conceptual focus. Ambivalence, as Freud formulates it, is not just the reversal of feelings into their opposite, like love transformed into hate. Rather, ambivalence is the co-presence of things “different in their nature,” and this co-presence modifies these things chained together. In the context of the fantasy in “‘A Child is Being Beaten,’” this shift in conceptual focus results in an alternative schema of the Oedipus complex, an analysis of drive as a linguistic representation of the ambivalent relation, and the Lacanian concept of the letter as the precipitate of this ambivalent relation circuited by the drive. The conclusion, here, is that the fantasies recorded in the text do not only express a fundamental fantasy about the origin of the sexes, as Nassif suggests, but express a fundamental fantasy about the conditions of signification tout court. The article ends on an open question—cued by Nassif’s closing question in his essay—regarding the possibility of further reconciliation between queer theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis in light of this analysis of ambivalence, drive, and the letter. V članku, ki ga je leta 1967 objavil v Cahiers pour l’Analyse, Jacques Nassif v obravnavi Freudovega spisa »‘Otrok je tepen’« premakne poudarek z etiologije perverzij na vprašanje fantazije oziroma fantazme. Nassif ugotavlja, da se v obravnavanih primerih razkriva temeljna fantazma in se loti njene »arheologije«, pri čemer izvor fantazme umesti v izvor spolne razlike: kastracije in Ojdipovega kompleksa. V zadnjih vrsticah članka se Nassif vpraša, ali bi bilo na tej strukturi mogoče zgraditi »neko drugo fantazmo« z drugačnim ubesedenjem, ki bi ustrezala »nekemu drugemu« telesu, a prizna, da njegovo branje ne dopušča odgovora na to vprašanje. V prispevku zagovarjam tezo, da dodatni premik fokusa omogoči pritrdilen odgovor na Nassifovo vprašanje, obenem pa nakaže možnosti nadaljnje razdelave. V mojem branju – ki se ne odvrne od Nassifa – je konceptualni fokus ambivalenca. Ta, kot formulira Freud, ni le sprevrnitev čustev v njihovo nasprotje, denimo ljubezni v sovraštvo. Ambivalenca je, nasprotno, soprisotnost reči, ki so »različne po svoji naravi«, in soprisotnost modificira te med seboj spete reči. V kontekstu fantazije v spisu »‘Otrok je tepen’« ta premik konceptualnega fokusa proizvede alternativno shemo Ojdipovega kompleksa, analizo gona kot jezikovne reprezentacije ambivalentnega razmerja in lacanovski koncept črke kot usedlino tega razmerja, okrog katerega kroži gon. Odtod sledi, da fantazije, ki jih popisuje Freudovo besedilo, ne izražajo le temeljne fantazme o izvoru spolov, kot predlaga Nassif, temveč obenem temeljno fantazmo o pogojih označevanja nasploh. Prispevek sklenem z odprtim vprašanjem – na katerega napelje Nassifovo lastno sklepno vprašanje – o možnosti nadaljnjega zbližanja med kvirovsko teorijo in lacanovsko psihoanalizo, ki ga odpre tovrstna analiza ambivalence, gona in črke. ambivalence drive fantasy Sigmund Freud Jacques Lacan Jacques Nassif Oedipus complex sexual difference ambivalenca gon fantazma Sigmund Freud Jacques Lacan Jacques Nassif Ojdipov kompleks spolna razlika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Imetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji Članek v reviji 2026-03-18 15:42:57 2026-03-18 15:42:57 2026-03-25 03:57:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 št. 3 letn. 46 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-03-13 0353-4510 10.3986/fv.46.3.03 https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/filozofski-vestnik/article/view/15149 0 5891bf3e-22d9-11f1-a33f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42061 _FV_03_2025-3+Rasmussen+Another+Body.pdf _FV_03_2025-3+Rasmussen+Another+Body.pdf 1 8AA336B37D8C8C90EDC2244AB58ADAB8 c87c312ddd4d47f942ce2e23be7b603b0aa834744c01fe4f60c6ecc580c1ab77 4e7bc591-22d9-11f1-a33f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42060 Znanstvenoraziskovalni center Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti Filozofski vestnik 0 0 0
