The aim of this study is to make a theoretical and clinical discussion about the body in psychoanalysis following the route of the Freudian work. Initially we will do a reading of clinical pictures that involve the body from the notion of representation or symbolization in referring to the body of the first drive dualism Freudian illustrated by the model of hysteria whose intrinsic mechanism is the repression. By following, we will discuss the body of the submission, body of the second theory of drives showing your irrepresentação to the extent that the concepts of death drive and influence in a repeating design of body under a new status, that of traumatic. We have extended the discussion showing the intrinsic mechanisms of archaic and untranslatable that would be in the genesis of contemporary body symptoms, through the idea of the formation of enclaves in the psychic space and its impossibility of representation to the various forms of suffering being responsible for this requirement of the psyche that street, and opening in repetition compulsion mechanisms highlighted in the body of the presentation.
