LECONTE, Mariana. Del fundamento pasivo y traumático del significar: Levinas y Lacan. Cuad. Sur, Filos. [online]. 2010, n.39, pp. 135-147. ISSN 2362-2989.

The language as significance or sense is in the place of something that is absent. It responds to the central -traumatic- gap of the enjoyment's field. It is a failed substitute and, therefore and at the same time, it reveals the lack that he intends to replace. Because of this function of substitution, the language is, in a structural way, alienated in the enjoyment's field. The intention of this article is to explain these theories of lacanian psychoanalysis and to extract some precisions for the comprehension of the difference between Saying and Said in levinasian phenomenology of language, particularly in what concerns to the articulation of sensible order (vulnerability) and the order of ideal significances.
