Poza polis – o (nie)możliwych zastosowaniach psychoanalizy w refleksji nad Prawem i dewiacją
Outside polis - (im)possibility of psychoanalytic perspective in reflexion on the Law and deviation

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, author describes topics of the Law and deviation in lacanian psychoanalysis, using socio-political works of Slavoj Żiżek. Issues include questions about the possibility of psychoanalytic reflection on deviation - what is the law and its transgression in perspective of psychoanalysis? Psychoanalysis shows that the Law (in the broadest sense) remains in a constant dialectical relation with Desire. This, on the one hand, is a basis of subject’s normative relation with the Law. On the other hand, dialectic of Law and Desire could be basis for deviational behaviors . Also, the Law has a emancipatory nature because Law protects subject form trauma of the Other's desire, allows liberation from his dependence; but also, the Law is a condition of its own trasgression. Moreover, the Lacanian terms of Real and Lack could offer new pespectives on deviation and its ethical dimension.
