Det ubevidste, signifianten og ur-fortrængningen

Abstract

There are some mythical assumptions about Freud's 'primal repression', just like his other term 'primal scene'. The primal repression as an assumption seems to be present not only in Freud's work many years before it is called so, but moreover to be constitutive of the unconscious. The article is an attempt to use Lacan's concept 'the signifier', to clarify what seems to be Freud's obscure idea. If the question about the primal repression constitutes a crystal in Freud's attempt to articulate the concept of the unconscious, it will be a leitmotif in the article, used to connect the dream, the unconscious wish, the hallucination the Vorstellungsrepr¨¨äsentanz and the psychosis. Because: It seems to be by way of the primal repression that the fantasy and the reality converge against the reality of the subject. Which is shown by the analytic experience to be unconscious.
