프로이트와 라캉의 죽음충동을 넘어서 = Beyond Freud and Lacan’s Death Drive

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sigmund Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle represents a crucial theoretical turning point. Freud himself recognized that the introduction of the death drive faced substantial resistance from analysts who sought to systematize psychoanalysis at that time. Lacan, however, criticized Freud’s successors who rejected the concept of the death drive, accusing them of trying to reintegrate psychoanalysis into the framework of what they termed general psychology. Lacan further developed the concept of the death drive from Beyond the Pleasure Principle into a central idea in his later works. Since then, the concept of the death drive, alongside Lacan’s contributions, has regained vitality and continues to be revisited and reinterpreted by contemporary scholars such as Derrida, Deleuze, and members of the Slovenian School.
This paper will first examine the concepts of the pleasure principle, the death drive, and the life drive (Eros) as presented in Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle. The subsequent chapters will explore how Lacan’s framework provides new interpretations of these concepts and reconsiders phenomena that may seem contradictory —such as war neurosis, trauma, and compulsive repetition—within Freud’s principle of constancy. The discussion will extend to the implications of the drive concerning the 'One' in Lacan's Seminar 19. The final chapter will connect the role of analysts with Lacan’s concept of the ‘one,’ and consider the significance of the ‘Il y a de l’Un’ in relation to the death drive.
