Abstract

ARANGO-ARIAS, Ana Lucía  and  SOTO-ECHAVARRIA, César Alberto. Subjective Position and Criminal Act in Convicted of Homicide and Sexual Offense. CS [online]. 2020, n.30, pp.229-249. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i30.3107.

The research aimed at relating the subjective position and the act’s clinical categories in persons who committed criminal acts and are deprived of their liberty. Subjective interviews were conducted with six subjects convicted of homicide or sexual offense with minors under 14. Each interview was a text to be deciphered, the signifiers that insist and that, when connected, reveal something about the singular position of the subject in facing the criminal act needed to be traced during enunciation. For the results, a case of homicide that exemplifies the research’s analysis categories is chosen. The sequence crime-guilt-responsibility-meaning of the sentence is found, which is a logical chain that allows to think of a singular position of the subject linked to the Other’s discourse as law. It is concluded that the singular subjective logic links five interconnected points: signifier, jouissance, body, phantom, and act’s clinical categories.

Keywords : Subjective Position; Criminal Act; Acting Out; Passage to the Act; Psychic Law.
