Violencia y pudor

Abstract

This article reports about modesty in the development of Lacanian theory, and how this maintains a reciprocal relation with the constitution of the subject, as the subject is divided by the signifier order. In this sense, modesty is manifested as a veil - the veil of modesty - covering what does not want to be seen, the impossible and most intimate of the subjects. The perversions, on their side, look to go beyond that modesty, leaving the other in a position of weakness; an example presented is the SN practices. On the basis of the aforementioned is the position the subject assumes to restore a pleasure to the Other.
