Commemorating May 1968: the anarchist imagery and negative leadership
Resumo Em 2018, os “ acontecimentos de Maio de 1968 ” co-memoraram cinquenta anos. No Brasil, co-memor ávamos os cinco anos de junho de 2013, uma parte do composto do “ ciclo de lutas ” . Esses dois momentos t êm em comum, entre outras coisas, o fato de nos fazer pensá-los ainda hoje, pois, apesar de terem findado enquanto ato, eles continuam a existir em termos de afeto e efeito.

Hans Bellmer and your little anatomy of the image: own body and psychoanalysis
Resumo Em Petite Anatomie de l ’ image (1949), o artista Hans Bellmer formula uma teoria da imagem do corpo que parte da premissa de que a anatomia humana é subjetiva, imaginária e até permeada por estados psicopatológicos. Assim, Bellmer mostra um corpo interno desenhado por traços de memória e por uma imagem puramente psíquica, ou seja, ele coloca em cena o corpo pulsional. Diante dessa obra, perguntamos o que o artista ensina à psicanálise lacaniana sobre o corpo próprio e sua representação, conceitos importantes para a clínica. Nesse sentido, uma indicação valiosa orientará esta discussão: o segredo...

Disassembly of diagnosis and orientation towards the singular: Jacques Lacan’s patient presentations
This article analyzed the transcriptions of three patient presentations conducted by Jacques Lacan at the Hospital of Sainte-Anne in 1976. The analysis of these interviews aimed to apprehend how Lacan proceeded as an analyst with respect to the use of diagnostic categories and the management of the tension between the universality of the clinical type and the singularity of the single case. The analysis revealed that although Lacan did not refuse to use terms derived from classical psychiatry or to make the structural diagnosis of the interviewed patients, these aspects were not the focus of his interest. Lacan dispensed t...

Construction of meanings and ambiguities in the context of internship supervision in psychology
Resumo Na forma ção de psicólogos, o tripé supervisão-estágio-ensino é fundamental para o desenvolvimento de competências profissionais. Todavia a relação estreita entre estas três esferas ocasiona, por vezes, uma compreensão nebulosa sobre a práxis concernente a cada um destes campos. À luz do dialog ismo bakhtiniano e da intersubjetividade, este artigo visa a analisar a construção de significados sobre supervisão de estágio, por meio das ambiguidades que enlaçam esta atividade. Foi possível analisar que as ambiguidades permeadas pelo tripé formativo ocasionam tensões nas relações inte rsubjetivas,...

The unrepeatability of art
This article analyzes elements that function as repetitions in pieces of art. We demonstrate how repetition, together with Freud ’ s concept of the uncanny (Unheimlich) can be seen in the artist ’ s need to have a new encounter with the same piece in order to once again meet what is most radical in oneself. We utilize the contemporary aesthetic theory of Jacques Derrida and Georges Didi-Huberman as theoretical framework, as they observe the phenomenon of devaluation (d ésaisissement), which is an impossibility of visibility that causes a blindness towards the object. We present a brief clinical review of a case we dea...

The importance of Thomas Ogden’s thought for contemporary psychoanalysis
This article presents the importance of Thomas Ogden ’ s thought for contemporary psychoanalysis. Its main characteristic is a discourse and a way of thinking that take into account intrapsychic and intersubjective dimensions in the psychoanalysis field. The experience with the clinical matrix of schizophrenia is the preferred starting point for his theoretical framework. We highlight in this text three major contributions throughout his work: a) the state of non-experience, b) the autistic-contiguous position, and c) the analytic-third.R ésumé Cet article présente l ’ importance de la pens ée de Thomas Ogden pour ...

The story of life according to Walter Benjamin: contributions to identity studies
Resumo O relato de hist ória de vida não é, como muitos pensam, uma metodologia de fácil aplicação, pelo menos em se levando em consideração o pensamento de Walter Benjamin, para quem a história não é simples relato de fatos, mas um encadeamento de experiências que nem sempre podem ser expressas sem correr risc os que, em grande medida, prejudicam ou violentam a consciência do indivíduo que faz do relato um meio para encontrar “ reden ção ” (Erl ösung) de experiências do passado marcadas de sofrimentos. Acrescente-se a isso o fato de que, segundo o autor, com a modernidade, perdeu-se a capacidade tan...
