Abstract
The clinical space emerges as a political space that gives one of the possibilities of greater power for the transformations that concern the processes of subjectivation. It is about addressing the suffering that incarnates in the body of each one the pain of the time that we have to live. Different ethics are put into play in the clinical areas arranged in the social space, determining forms of intervention according to a very specific conception of the subject, of pain and of the symptom. To deepen these issues, we will situate ourselves in the psychoanalytic context considering the contributions of Jacques Lacan and the relationships of his thought with knowledge coming from the field of philosophy, sociology, and history.
