Abstract

The analytical subject's free association process makes it possible for him/her to contact unconscious desires within a net of signs, revealing the nature of a truly divided existence. At an extreme division point the subject experiments himself/herself as object of pleasure- object a, in Lacan's Algebra. The structure of unconscious fantasies articulates the split subject together with his/her object of being ($ ;à; a). The analysis of the Short Story "A Chinela Turca", by Machado de Assis allows the reader to follow this clinical process through means of a fictional dream
