Une lecture de la figurabilité psychanalytique chez Paul Ricœur

In this article, I will analyze Paul Ricœur’s conception of the function of “figurability” in psychoanalysis, namely through his reading of the “psychoanalytic discovery” where language works at the pictorial level [langage figuré]. This reading provides another notion of the image for his hermeneutics insofar as Ricœur calls into question the submission of the image in relation to language. From this reading, I will argue that the connection between the “work of image,” in his reading of psychoanalysis, and the “work” of metaphor, in his theory of metaphor, leads to the expansion of the conception of metaphor insofar as it reveals a level of visualization where language does not control the image.
