Abstract
ABSTRACT: After the Occultation, the moment when the shiites’ messiah disappeared, Shiism broke into two tendencies: the traditional-quietist and the rationalist-political. These two tendencies coexisted for centuries; only quite recently has their balance tilted towards the rationalist-political side, which brought about (principally) the Khomeini revolution in Iran. This article seeks to explore the mode of the social ties in Shia Islam from a psychoanalytic perspective, in terms of its original mystical practices as well as of the political and religious consequences of the decline of traditionalist discourse and the political emergence of “jurist-theologian” with its corollary, the Adversary.

In Lacanian terms, civilization emerges in an operation of knotting in which there is a subtraction of jouissance, which is attributed to the social link
This thesis was already present in Totem and taboo (1913); is it not by abandoning their respective claims to possess all the women that the brothers of the primal horde could come together through their compact, which serves as the foundation of civilization? In what follows, the term “civilization” will be used in the Enlightenment sense, to mean, as Freud puts it, “[...] the process of civilization which mankind undergoes [...]” (FREUD, 1930, p. 139) and which founds communal life on a libidinal sacrifice
