Abstract

We intend to approach the notion of imaginary as being the proper realm for an irruption of jouissance (enjoyment), that being our first key theoretical concept. We state that such an outburst is related to a psychoanalytic circuit that an act of interdiction sets into action, that being our second central
concept. So, we understand that an interdiction perpetrates at once a movement of release and a shift in direction. Our subject is hypothetically founding of the communicational dynamics since it is born from the interchange happening on
the imaginary realm and nurtures from its leftover dissent thus producing content destined to communication, interdiction and shift. Our examples are based on
two playwrights present at the Miroel Silveira Files which underwent censorship during the 60’s: Le malade imaginaire (The imaginary invalid) and Sganarelle ou
le Cocu imaginaire (The imaginary cuckold), both by Molière.
