What’s missing in desire?
Abstract
Both the metaphorical process and the interpretative one consist of taking something strange as something familiar depending on the perspective that the force of desire proposes. Starting from this supposition we will try to show in this work that what is missing in desire, more than the object, is an interactive relation, that is to say, the link which might open this supposed missing object for the hermeneutic experience of taking something as something. And to this purpose we will follow the consequences that stem from the question about the impossible relation that Leclaire formulated in his paper about the reality of desire. If one can conceive two elements that do not have between them any possible relation, what is missing at the time will not be any of these elements but the hermeneutic link that might connect them, and this is exactly the place where one installs the desire.
