The intention of this article is to relate the work of the sublimation with that of the constitution of the ideas that characterise the narcissistic economy of the Freudian subject. Based on the differentiation, highlighted by Freud, between sublimation and idealization, the article aims to demonstrate in what manner the sublimate process approaches the work of breaking down the defence mechanism through humour. In sublimation, as with humour, are we witnessing the erecting of I in the Self? While we elaborate the mourning for the idealized objects of childhood. The role of the death drive in the emergence of the creative process is also analysed.Downloads
