Este trabajo responde al objetivo de explorar las particularidades del concepto de identificación a lo largo de la obra de Lacan para registrar sus transformaciones, distinguir las variedades de identificación delimitadas sucesivamente y precisar la originalidad de ese concepto lacaniano definiendo los rasgos que lo diferencian tanto de la concepción de las identificaciones en la obra de Freud como de los posfreudianos. El período de referencia ha sido distribuido en tres tramos: el de los antecedentes (hasta el comienzo de su enseñanza alrededor de 1951), el momento inicial
This project intends to explore the specificities of the concept of identification in Lacan’s work. It does so by analyzing its transformations, distinguishing the successive types of identification presented by the author, and discussing the relationship with Freud’s understanding of identification as well as with the post-Freudian theorists’. The periodization is divided in three stages: the antecedents (before 1951, when Lacan begins to teach), the initial structuralist moment (the first four seminars), and the culmination of this position (in seminars five and six). The conclusion highlights the transformations of the concept during this period, as well as the great variety of types Lacan introduces in each stage. Moreover, two differences with Freud’s concept are discussed.
