Todestrieb, Lebensursprünglichkeit und Deutungsanspruch. Eine psychoanalytische und phänomenologisch-dekonstruktive Diskussion

Abstract

Death Drive, Originality of Life and Claim to Interpretation: A Psychoanalytical and Phenomenological-Deconstructive Discussion

In addition to the inner-psychoanalytical critique of the basic metapsychological concept of the death drive, the radical phenomenological and deconstructivist perspective according to Jacques Derrida is also included. The interpretation of the lethal designification of all meanings comes up against the limits of an irrevocable originality of life before all representation, on the one hand, and Freud's reference to repetition/interpretation as a claim to power to be able to adequately explain it alone, on the other. At the same time, this implies a fundamental question about the future of culture, how the connection between drive/life is to be methodically determined.

Keywords: affectivity, aggressiveness, interpretation, origin of life, death drive, transference
