Abstract

The purpose is to analyse the concept of Intentionality in Lacan's theory, and to insist in the difference of intentional modality between "desire" and "drive". Following Zizek, Lacanian drive, as death drive, realizes the curve of the Intentionality of desire, the "goal" of drive must be thought as a topological incurvation of the "aim" of desire. In this difference between Intentionality of desire and pulsionality of drive as death drive the link to the agalmic object/goal of desire is transformed into an obstacle to the fullfilment of desire. By analysing passages in Lacan seminar about Husserl's concept of Intentionality, the author wants to show how it can open a new theory of Freedom beyond Symbolico-Imaginary identifications, against the phenomenological reduction of psychical life to the only intentional perspective of desire . The author wants to show that beyond this kind of identifications and intentionality, symbolic destitution is possible from desire to drive by which the Subject of Freedom can occur
