Abstract

The objective of this work is to point out that the unconscious in Freud is in the order of the imaginary representation and to discuss Lacan's propositions regarding two concepts, imago and unconscious, that the author considers, paraphrasing Miller, before his first teaching. In the first part, it presents Freud's conceptions since his original text to The Unconscious, centering this presentation basically on the idea that the unconscious, for Freud, is the order of representation. In the second part, he discusses Lacan's use of two concepts, imago and the unconscious before his proposition in the Repport of Roma that the unconscious is structured as a language. It is a diachronic theoretical research of a conceptual nature, which concludes with the proposition that, really, it is possible to consider that Freud's conception regarding the unconscious revolves around the concept of imaginary representation and that, certainly, Lacan proposed that the constitution of the subject, before its proposition of the unconscious structured as a language, is organized around two concepts of the imago and the unconscious.
