Søren Kierkegaard’s notion of repetition strives to criticize the continuity of traditional repetition. Until Hegel, and still now, the repetition of temporal things in the various spiritual forms aims to conserve their presence. Repetition is the work of the spiritual Bildung which removes the caducity from beings, in order to conserve them in an interiorised and eternal form. Kierkegaard’s repetition denounces the narcissism of such an idealisation, and demands the interruption of the idealisation law. The question of a single individual’s own name, and of Søren’s exceptionality in comparison with the universality of the spirit, is here read in the Lacanian terms of the breaking of the narcissistic and idealising mirror. The question of the exception as opposed to the law is developed by following the relationship between enjoyment and law in Lacan’s works.

Abstract
Søren Kierkegaard’s notion of repetition strives to criticize the continuity of traditional repetition. Until Hegel, and still now, the repetition of temporal things in the various spiritual forms aims to conserve their presence. Repetition is the work of the spiritual Bildung which removes the caducity from beings, in order to conserve them in an interiorised and eternal form. Kierkegaard’s repetition denounces the narcissism of such an idealisation, and demands the interruption of the idealisation law. The question of a single individual’s own name, and of Søren’s exceptionality in comparison with the universality of the spirit, is here read in the Lacanian terms of the breaking of the narcissistic and idealising mirror. The question of the exception as opposed to the law is developed by following the relationship between enjoyment and law in Lacan’s works.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
