Voz e olhar em Ensaio sobre a cegueira

Abstract

This paper tries to consider the author José Saramago's writing as one which transmits, beyond meaning and imagination, real effects. Such transmission is due to the way this writer treats meaning emptiness. It is based in his book Blindness(SARAMAGO, 1995) commenting the presence of the voice and the look as objects, in the Lacanian sense of the term. According to Lacan, these objects are usually associated, articulated to the desire of the Other and fundamental to the subject in its first appearance. The issue is, therefore, to study the sublimation of these objects distinguishing them from the way they appear in the neurotic and perverse fantasy. That would be a lesson that art creation could give to the object treatment in the psychoanalytical experience.
