Description
Summary:The current essay deals with the mourning from its double meaning: from Freudian connotation of work facing up the loss of an object of love; and as a struggle. Several normal times of mourning and the structural implications they involved are highlighted. As well, an ethical status of the mourning is noticed, due to the determination every mourning demands through the sacrifice of a part of the subject itself. The changes concerning the ghost, the function of funeral rites, as well as the relation between castration and death are other topics to be developed in this text. // El presente ensayo aborda el duelo desde su doble acepción: desde la connotación freudiana de trabajo frente a la pérdida de un objeto de amor; y en tanto batalla. Se señalan diferentes tiempos lógicos del duelo y las implicaciones estructurales que estos conllevan. Igualmente, se advierte el estatuto ético del duelo por el acto que la resolución de todo duelo exige vía el sacrificio que el sujeto realiza de un trozo de sí. Los cambios a nivel del fantasma, la función de los rituales funerarios, así como la relación entre castración y muerte, son otras de las temáticas desarrolladas en este texto.
