“…In advocating for a return to Freudian psychoanalysis, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan reintroduces desire as the basis of analytic experience (De Battista, 2017). As subjects driven by desire, desire lies at the center of our subjectivity.…”

This article is a philosophical examination of the social media culture of fitness and the behavior which most distinctly characterizes it. Of the numerous and varied digital subcultures emerging with the rise of photo-based social media during the 2010s, the culture surrounding fitness, or “fitspiration,” stands out as one of the more notable. Research has identified the phenomenon as consisting to a large extent of users engaging in behaviors of self-sexualization and self-objectification, following, not unexpectedly, the inherent focus within fitness on the body, its maintenance and ultimately its appearance. Research also demonstrates that, for many, viewing and engaging in this behavior is linked to a deterioration of body-image, general self-perception and mental well-being. In this article, I analyze the phenomenon within a philosophical framework in which I combine the philosophical theory of Jean Baudrillard on media and the consumption of signs and the psychoanalytic perspective of Jacques Lacan on subjectivity, narcissism and desire. Using this framework, I discuss the body assuming the properties of a commodified object deriving its cultural value and meaning from the signs which adorn it, resulting in the “fitspiration” user imperative becoming the identification with an artificial object alien to the self, necessitating a narcissistically oriented, yet pernicious self-objectification. I argue that “fitspiration,” as well as the photo-based social media which both enables and defines it, indulges narcissism, detrimentally exaggerating the narcissistic inclinations lying at the center of subjectivity.

“…Es una relación al Otro que recuerda en mucho a la que Schreber estableció con su Dios. Si bien por momentos aparece como gozador -un Otro que le ordena hacer de marioneta -, también es un Otro al que le hace falta (De Battista, 2015, 2017b. Quizás esta es una forma en que el amor permite condescender el goce al deseo (Lacan, 1962(Lacan, -1963(Lacan, /2004, permite sublimar el goce en deseo, a partir de ese encuentro con una sensibilidad deseante (De Battista, 2015) que Vaslav logró causar con su danza.…”

Este artículo investiga el problema de las condiciones de posibilidad de los lazos sociales en el caso de sujetos psicóticos. Desde el marco teórico del psicoanálisis lacaniano interroga la tesis del “fuera de discurso” de las psicosis. Desde un punto de vista metodológico, procede por construcción y análisis del caso del bailarín Vaslav Nijinsky a partir de sus cuadernos autobiográficos, de su biografía y de distintos testimonios. El análisis de este caso nos permite concluir que el armado de un cuerpo a través de la danza fue posibilitado por la función del “nombrar para” que Lacan describe en 1974 y que sustituye al funcionamiento metafórico del Nombre-del-Padre. La constitución de un cuerpo danzante y su ejercicio actuaron en Nijinsky como causa del deseo del poderoso representante Diaghilev, quien lo transformó en una estrella, ovacionada para el público.
