| Sumario: | In this paper we question the function of diagnosis and pose the symptom and its function as a compass for diagnosis in psychoanalysis. We define the symptom as an unconscious objection to the common current discourse in its capitalist and hetero-cis- normative form. We highlight the political potential of the symptom as dissidence to the dominant hegemonic discourse, a product of Western Judeo-Christian culture and biomedical discourse that is sustained by the paradigm of anatomical visual sexual difference. To this end, we analyze the dissident function of the symptom in war neurosis that objects to the military master, in hysterical conversion that objects to the medical master and the erotic norm, and the symptoms of orality - anorexia, bulimia, drug addiction - as an objection to what culture prescribes for women. Finally, we propose to think of the transvestite-trans body as a dissident symptom to the ordering that the hetero-cis-normative sexual discourse imposes, thus manifesting the discomfort in the culture of sexual difference. |
