Pathos is the annual journal of Psychopathology of the Faculty of Psychology, National University of Cordoba. It is an open access publication that aims to host and disseminate original and revised productions in the field of Lacanian psychoanalysis, in its articulation with Psychopathology, based on conceptual and ethical rigour; in order to promote a transfer of work with readers and the academic community.
It has been conceived as a means of reflection and exchange on pathos today, from a perspective that subscribes to the unconscious, far from any pedantism and discursive completeness. It is an offer to the production of knowledge, an incomplete, plural, non-ideological place, which makes it possible to make psychoanalysis exist in the University, from the word.

Vol. 5 (2023): (De)constructions of the phantasy
Lacan's concept of fantasme is rooted in the notion of "phantasy" that both Freud and Melanie Klein have used. However, Lacan builds on these foundations to develop an original and disruptive conceptualisation, which, far from being a monolithic and linear elaboration, on the contrary, presents an approach with scans, nuances and paths that will construct and (de)construct meanings, ways of understanding and articulating the notion that will influence theory and analytic praxis.
(De)constructing the fantasme, impels us to investigate and explore a "fascinating scenario" of crucial importance for psychoanalysis and psychoanalysts, which crosses its conceptual and clinical variations. In this issue, we enthusiastically invite you to explore, assemble and disassemble this scene, understanding that psychoanalysis is not about the reality of a story, but about a fictional structure that is put into action. As Lacan wrote: "That the subject relives, remembers, in the intuitive sense of the word, the formative events of his existence, is not in itself so important. What counts is what he reconstructs from them".
