The aim of this article is to offer an overview of the notion of sublimation in Lacan's teaching. More specifically, the aim is to approach the notion of sublimation not from the point of view of artistic creation, but from the point of view of its function in love relationships. Lacan uses the category of courtly love in particular to highlight this dimension.
Method
This work is based on a study of Freud's and Lacan's developments of the notion of sublimation and the amorous encounter. Following a review of the historical principles of courtly love, we will successively address the question of love at first sight in Freud, the articulation of the notions of sublimation and idealization, Lacan's developments on ecstatic love and its distinction from narcissistic love, the conception of the Thing, and finally the distinction between two types of sublimation distinguished by Lacan in 1969: that which is accomplished via the object to reach the woman, the other which is accomplished via the drive, the prototype of which is the work of art.
Results
Lacan bases his version of sublimation on a distinction between instinct and drive, which tends not towards an object but towards das Ding. This field of the Thing, which lies beyond the regulation of the pleasure principle, designates that of jouissance, which is electively targeted by sublimation. This forbidden jouissance constitutes a void around which creation is constituted.
Discussion
The object that plays a primordial role in sublimation is never reduced to a narcissistic object of imaginary idealization, but instead relates to a process directed towards the real of the unattainable Thing. Sublimation in love allows us to conceive that there is no desexualization of the drive.
Conclusion
Courtly love plays on this double articulation, which allows desire to address itself to a signifying being, based on a poetic linguistic creation, but which also authorizes the exercise of a transgressive jouissance, in relation to the partner's body.
