L’analyste et son rapport à la théorie
Ce rapport pose deux questions interconnectées. La première concerne la façon dont chaque psychanalyste construit son propre ensemble théorique. L’idée est proposée que cette construction se fait à partir de trois éléments : l’héritage théorique reçu ; la propre personnalité et histoire, tant personnelle que psychanalytique ; l’air du temps socio-culturel, c’est-à-dire le tissu de sensibilités, de croyances, d’aspirations et d’inquiétudes propres…

Can psychoanalysis contribute to the understanding of fundamentalism? An introduction to a vast question
During the past 20 years, religious and political fundamentalism has produced a number of barbaric terrorist attacks which have strongly shaken public opinion in the Western world. Can psychoanalysis contribute to the understanding of the unconscious functioning of these fundamentalist groups? The different presentations of fundamentalism and the various hypotheses concerning its origins and aims are discussed. Should fundamentalism be understood…
Psychoanalysis and The Arts
The ways in which today's psychoanalysts approach art closely follow the avenues opened by Freud a hundred years ago. Drawing mainly on Freud's studies on Jensen's Gradiva (1907) and on Leonardo da Vinci (1910a), the author examines the main paradigms he used in discussing artistic activity, including his doubts and hesitations. Present-day approaches to art are then examined via a discussion of the advantages and pitfalls of psychobiography, of …
Les rapports psychanalyse et autobiographie
En s'appuyant sur les autobiographies de douze élèves « à problèmes », l'auteure interroge deux paradigmes de la psychanalyse contemporaine. Le paradigme archéologique, cherchant à découvrir le latent derrière le manifeste, se situe du côté d'une logique orientée vers le passé. A l'opposé, le paradigme transformatif, dont le but est de développer la « musculature psychique », vise l'ouverture à une pluralité de possibles résidant dans l'avenir. L…

John Cage and W. R. Bion
The author discusses some striking convergences which appear in the thought of two unsettling and powerfully stimulating personalities of the 20th century: John Cage in music and art, and W.R. Bion in psychoanalysis. Both foster openness to the unknown and the need to tolerate 'uncertainties, mysteries, doubts', arguing for an attitude requiring negative valence and receptive emptiness. In their search for fresh personal awareness of reality aime…
Contemporary art and Hanna Segal’s thinking on aesthetics
From the point of view of the history of ideas in psychoanalysis, a major shift may be described from Freud's starting point considering art as sublimation of sexual desires on a largely objectal level to later developments emphasizing the presence in art of destructiveness and narcissistic conflicts. Segal's contribution represents a watershed in this evolution. Following Klein, Hanna Segal suggests considering art in relation to depressive anxi…
Marcel Duchamp
Considering Marcel Duchamp's work, this paper raises the question as to the nature of the subjective experience proposed by contemporary art to today's audience. Approaching art through the concept of sublimation, Freud maintains a fundamentally optimistic and positive view, putting forward its libidinal and sexual aspects, the pursuit of pleasure, beauty, and omnipotence. Following the path opened by Freud through the concept of the ‘uncanny’, m…
Film Review
The authors approach Lars Von Trier's fi lm Dogville in the light of contemporary psychoanalytic concepts on perversion. The perverse functioning appears at three levels in the fi lm. First of all in the content of the story: a seemingly masochistic victim stirs up the sadism of the people around her before the scenario turns full circle. As for the formal aspects, the producer subtly hides some data with the result that our perception of reality…
