This paper is the result of the 9th International Meeting on Psychoanalytic Research held on November 24, 2023, whose title was “Interpretation in Psychoanalytic Research”. The paper proposes a dissertation on interpretation in psychoanalysis. For this purpose, it is based on theorizations such as the subversion of the subject in Freudian theory, aimed at a possible hermeneutics, and the logical, structural and linguistic approach to the unconscious offered by Lacan in his return to the founder of psychoanalysis. These perspectives allow us to delimit and differentiate the act of interpretation in the analytic clinical device. This act is supported by the materiality of the signifier and its sonority, as well as by its effects on the body. This contrasts with other psychotherapeutic, disciplinary and scientific currents that are based on meaning and, therefore, on the sign in its dimension of objectivity.
