Abstract EN:

This thesis concerns perversion as a structure. The pervers subject is bound to denying (verleugnung) castration in the other. Through this way, he tries to make the other exist as complet, full, relieved from castration. To do this he tries to reduce himself to the object in which he is identified in the logic of his phantasy. His aim lies only in enjoyment. The pervet fetichises enjoyment. In this attempt, he fails, the other of the law (of castration) separates hi m forever from. . . The other sex. The voyeurist is identified to the object sight which he tries to restitute to the other so as to complete it. The work of pierre klossowski - born in 1905 -, fictional, theoritical and plastic, demonstrates the modalities of this failure of castration. It demonstrates how the subject can give an answer to this failure. We say work insofar as klossowski is his work. Far from the presuppositions of "applied" psychoanalysis, this thesis puts knowledge and teaching on the side of the wor k. It is in this that the work - here klossowski's - is "seen" by psychoanalysis.

Abstract FR:

Cette these porte sur la perversion en tant que structure. Le sujet pervers se voue a dementir (verleugnung) la castration de l'autre. Par la, il tente de faire exister un autre complet, plein, degage de la castration. Pour ce faire, il tente de se reduire a l'objet auquel il s'identifie massivement dans la logique de son fantasme. Sa visee ne se saisit qu'en terme de jouissance. Le pervers fetichise la jouissance. A cette tentative, il echoue, l'autre de la loi (de la castration) a jamais le separe de. . . L'autre sexe. Le voyeuriste s'identifie a l'objet regard qu'il tente de restituer a l'autre afin de le complementer. L'oeuvre de pierre klossowski - ne en 1905 -, fictionnelle, theorique et plastique, demontre les modalites de cet echec a annuler la castration. Elle demontre la facon dont un sujet peut faire reponse a cet echec. Nous disons l'oeuvre en ceci que klossowski est son oeuvre. Loin des presupposes de la psychanalyse "appliquee", cette these pose le savoir et l'enseignement du cote de l'oeuvre. C'est en cela que cette oeuvre, ici de klossowski, "regarde" la psychanalyse.
