only points in the direction of discharge. Its object is everything and at the same time none: the silent Goddess of Death. 2. The death drive, in the form of destruction, has the aim of tearing the connections, aiming at its discharge, generating murmurs and whispers ; it reveals the impossibility of full satisfaction of the wish, because its connection is always partial, since the object source of the libido is always incomplete. When the destruction drive, in economic terms, is not elaborated, is closely related to entropy. When it is not invested by the libido, drive is chaos it tends to death; where it establishes its connection with primary masochism, it will remain as a non-erogenous primary masochism. However, inasmuch as the libido invests it, it will lead to primary and erogenous masochism, with its potential for the development of feminine and moral masochism. Paim-Filho concludes that “The ramifications of primary masochism, which contemplates the ubiquity of the non-erotic destructiveness (Freud, 1939, p.42)” with its transformations, prompts a look at its manifestations, especially the compulsion to repeat (CR) and the negative therapeutic reaction (NTR). The paradoxical negative therapeutic reaction is the product of the Superego’s moral masochism in its relation to the Ego’s masochism. This de-sexualization revives primary masochism turning around upon oneself, depending on the intensity of the erogenous from the “non-erogenous” in the following way: The more lethal the negative therapeutic reaction, the more impulse for destruction, the less libido, the more need for punishment, the less guilt. As regards the repetition compulsion, there is a twofold configuration: on the one hand, the repetitive quality related to the excess of libidinal investment, in line with what Freud proposed in his paper on Narcissism (1914), and, on the other hand, the compulsion from “Beyond the Pleasure Principle” (1920) in which the trauma results from the excess of the drive of destruction. In view of the first proposal, the compulsive element is related towards the primary and erogenous masochism. This implies the possibility of reflecting on the repetition in the search of symbolization. Regarding the compulsion of the 1920’s, there is the imperative character of a non-metabolizable trauma , which presses for discharge, which continues as an eternal repetition of what was never pleasurable , revealing the presence of primary ‘ non-erogenous’ masochism: demonic self-destructive force at its peak. (There may be connecting points between this ‘ non-metabolizable trauma’ to Fernando’s ‘ zero process drive’ above in North American section IVFb.) VI. Hb. Ronis Magdaleno Ronis Magdaleno , in “It would have been better not to have been born” [“ Melhor seria não haver nascid”] ((2018/2018), “The esthetic object and a creative denaturalization of being” [ “ O objeto estético e a desnaturalização criativa do Ser” ] , and” Reflections on human mistrust” [“Reflexões sobre a inconfidência humana ”] opines that Freud creates a conceptual problem when he proposes the conflict between the life drive and the death drive, based on economic logic. In Magdaleno’s view, Lacan opens a new road to the understanding of the place of death in the clinical work and in the transference, by proposing a culturally sensitive model of an unconscious structured like a language. He proposes that death, in psychoanalysis, is opposed to the word and knowledge, because it constitutes a center filled by silence, around
