SAVIO, Karina. Lacan's Contributions to the Discourse Theory. Folios [online]. 2015, n.42, pp.43-54. ISSN 0123-4870.

Discourse Analysis is a heterogeneous field of research in which different theoretical positions meet. Psychoanalysis is a field of knowledge that has participated since its origin, in particular, in the discursive perspective of Michel Pêcheux. The purpose of this article is to review the proposals of Jacques Lacan about the discourse with the ultimate objective to consider this term and its theoretical implications to Discourse Analysis. In this sense, we intend to adopt those elements of Lacan's teaching that allow us to rethink and resize the complexity that the term discourse implies. To this end, we shall present the Seminar XVII of the psychoanalyst, which begins to dictate in 1969 and in which he formalizes his theory of this notion, although we shall also refer to other moments of his teaching.

Keywords : Discourse; psychoanalysis; discourse analysis.
