The present work intends to investigate remembrance and reminiscence, terms located in two moments of Jacques Lacan s teaching, as a binomial. Between these two terms, we seek to locate how memory works, what can be remembered and what does not enter this articulation and remains as an empty point that cannot be captured by the chains of meaning. Although Freud did not consider recollection and reminiscence as pair, we believe it is possible to differentiate both dimensions in his work. In this way, we propose to build a ground between Freud and Lacan. The idea is that the delineation of this ground helps us to get closer to what is envolved in the opposition of these two terms. In the end, we will use the book A obscena Senhora D, written by Hilda Hilst, as we understand it to be a text full of reminiscences.
