Subjek Terkekang Perspektif Jacques Lacan : Kajian Fenomenologi Di Malang

Abstract

This research analyzes the phenomenon of suicide in Malang through the lens of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalysis. The background of this study is the increasing number of suicide cases, especially among university students. Its objective is to deconstruct the psychological problems of a constrained subject, focusing on the concepts of the Imaginary Realm and The Real. The method used is a literature study with a phenomenological approach, analyzing the case of a subject identified as ALY. The results show that the subject initially experienced the Imaginary Realm, where they postponed the suicidal intent due to the influence of language. However, when their primary needs and ideal self could no longer withstand external pressures such as the difficulty of a final project, the subject became fragmented and lost self-awareness. The conclusion of this study is that the subject's desire to find the objet petit a an object of desire that doesn't actually exist leads to a delusional fantasy. The subject only achieves a false sense of happiness through suicide, which is perceived as a way to fill an inner void.
