Lacanian Subjectivity and New Symptoms

Extract

[...] To address these difficulties, Porge and Sauret offer critiques and viewpoints on the new symptoms. II. Critiques and perspectives expressed on the new symptoms After having studied the theoretical foundations of Lacanian subjectivity and its contemporary evolutions, we will address the critiques expressed by Porge and Sauret regarding the notions of desymbolization and the decline of the paternal imago We will also examine the new clinical and theoretical approaches suggested by the authors in order to grasp and treat the new symptoms A.

[...] The study of these notions and their confrontation with the new forms of subjectivation and symbolization proposed by Porge and Sauret could contribute to the understanding of the current challenges of Psychoanalysis and open new innovative theoretical and clinical perspectives.

[...] Conclusion The analyses of Porge and Sauret on the changes of contemporary subjectivity have been studied from Lacanian theories. In the first part of our study, we highlighted the theoretical foundations and the repercussions of contemporary evolutions on the appearance of new symptoms. The second part dealt with the criticisms of the authors, Porge and Sauret, towards classical explanations, while proposing new perspectives to apprehend and treat these symptoms. The works of Porge and Sauret shed light on the mutation of modern subjectivity by challenging classical notions and introducing new ideas that go beyond the teachings of Lacan. [...]

[...] Another aspect of the evolution of contemporary subjectivity is the decline of the paternal imago. This paternal figure is traditionally a key element in the structuring of the psyche, representing an authority figure that facilitates access to the law and culture. However, Porge and Sauret note that, in the current context, this authority figure is increasingly contested and devalued. They refer to Lacan to illustrate this point: 'It is in 1938, in The Family Complexes, that Lacan writes: large number of psychological effects seem to be related to a social decline of the paternal imago.' (Erik Porge et al p75). [...]

[...] This text commentary will be divided into two main parts. In the first part, we will examine the theoretical foundations of subjectivity and its development, based on Lacanian concepts and their evolution in the contemporary context In the second part, we will examine the criticisms formulated by Porge and Sauret on the concepts of desymbolization and degradation of the paternal imago, while proposing new clinical and theoretical perspectives adapted to new symptoms (II). I. Subjectivity and its evolution in the modern era In their article titled, Érik Porge and Marie-Jean Sauret study the evolutions of contemporary subjectivity through the lens of Lacanian analysis.
