Abstract

This essay explores some of the metapsychological foundations about the gaze as well as the importance of the function of the eye in the Freudian theoretical production, aware that the eye and the gaze are not the same. The present approach starts from the difference between vision and gaze so that, conceptually, it can be traced the function of the eye and the impact of gaze in the first Freudian writings, especially at the level of the drive. It specifically refers to the theory of the drives and its later theoretical repercussion, to then immediately approach his first psychoanalytic writings, starting with Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality. The substantial section of this essay brings the reader to the merely metapsychological issue of the “drive to see” (Schautrieb) exposed in texts such as Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality from1905 and “Instincts and their Vicissitudes” from 1915.
