Abstract

In psychoanalysis, the representation (Vorstellung) characterizes to be the element that gives contained to the different psychic instances, besides being the register that establishes a link with the affection. But some interests move us in the psychoanalytical field, ¿why was not sufficient the representation (Vorstellung) and added him a representative (repräsentanz) to refer to the unconscious element, specifically Vorstellungsrepräsentaz? The diverse translations of the Vorstellungsrepräsentaz have contributed to the forming of expectations on its possible sense in psychoanalysis. However, by the complexity that involves his structure, puts in evidence the difficulty of translation and the consequences that this carries in the diverse options that propose in the psychoanalysis. Being in this significant context the translation used by J. Lacan –Representative of the representation-, like this as the deal that gives him when taking like equivalent the significant. What causes, more than a translation, a new construction for the psychoanalysis.
