Approche Psychanalytique

À partir d’un enrichissement de la clinique des problématiques limites grâce à la theorisation des psychoses ordinaires, nous développerons la notion d’horizon numérique à l’œuvre dans leurs pratiques des social game. Il s’agira d’appuyer la psychanalyse sur une analyse de l’objet technique qu’est l’informatique pour conceptualiser l’horizon à l’œuvre dans cette pratique. Cette analyse nous mènera à confronter les écrits sur l’horizon du logicien et philosophe de l’informatique Gérard Chazal, à la lecture lacanienne de ceux du philosophe Martin Heidegger et à la pensée clinique des game studies à la française (Michaël Stora, Serge Tisseron, Yann Leroux, Thomas Gaon, etc.). Ainsi la clinique éclaire quatre caractéristiques de la subjectivation possible par le numérique pour ces problématiques limites : le masque numérique, les paradoxes du silence, le fantasme du vidéodrome et la jouissance machinique. En prenant appui sur la conception de la machine inhérente à la psychanalyse de Sigmund Freud et Jacques Lacan, nous proposerons une approche psychanalytique du vidéoludique, prenant en compte la dimension mortifère de toute machine nécessaire au vivant pour s’inscrire dans la société des hommes.

Ao abordar a arte, especifcamente a poesia, como meio (espaço e ato) de resistência, este ensaioparte de duas constatações e de uma confssão. As constatações: (1) para além de todo poder deordem histórica, de todo instrumento de coerção, seja político, econômico, ideológico, moralou cultural a que o homem esteja submetido e deva resistir, está a certeza da fnitude -- a sua ea daqueles que ama. Também (sobretudo, talvez) diante da consciência dessa condição mortalque limita, oprime e fere o humano, cabe resistir. O luto, como modo de lidar com a morte, é,portanto, ato de resistência; (2) Se a resistência se organiza no campo da arte, ela deve se valerdas armas próprias dessa linguagem, pelo que aqui importa, tanto quanto a temática abordadana poesia elegíaca de Camões, a forma poética como elaboração de um trabalho de luto. A confssão: este texto é em si mesmo um trabalho de luto, que se vale do exercício de pensamentopróprio do ensaio como forma para elaborar a perda que motiva sua escritura. A partir dessespressupostos e desse lugar de fala, realiza-se nas páginas que seguem uma leitura atenta de trêssonetos camonianos que compõem o assim chamado ciclo a Dinamene, pondo-os em diálogocom as reflexões de Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan e Jean Allouch sobre o luto, bem como coma teoria de Maurice Blanchot sobre a linguagem, que a concebe como trabalho de luto.

Textual Interpretation

I am grateful for the observations of these five wonderful and thought-provoking interlocutors: Camille Robcis, Todd Shepard, Suzanne Stewart-Steinberg, Regina Kunzel, and Michal Shapira. They have prompted me to read a whole range of clarifying texts—from Jacques Derrida's reflections on Friedrich Nietzsche to the work of classicist James Davidson on Michel Foucault and George Devereux (as well as more writings by Devereux) to historian Chris Waters's recovery of Edward Glover, and from literary scholar Shoshana Felman's brilliant Jacques Lacan-inspired rescue operation for psychoanalytic textual interpretation (in the special issue of Yale French Studies she edited in 1977) to Charles Shepherdson's turn-of-the-millennium revisionist take on Lacan and Foucault in Vital Signs. They have prompted me, too, to reconsider key texts by Sigmund Freud. And I am glad that the interlocutors challenge me with questions. These include: why the Left abandoned psychoanalysis (Robcis); how I have come to think about practices and desires and the relationships between “the sexual” and other realms of human existence (Shepard and Stewart-Steinberg, each in their own way); how a more integrated and comprehensive master narrative of psychoanalysis might be written, connecting the first and second halves of the twentieth century (Shapira); and how to delve more deeply into the role of analysands in shaping what counts as psychoanalysis (Kunzel).

<p>Nos proponemos establecer el recorrido teórico que permita reconstruir la noción de letosa, formulada por Jacques Lacan en el seminario El reverso del psicoanálisis. Comenzaremos por situar las condiciones del sujeto que se desprende del cogito cartesiano, y el particular modo en que se imbrica con el surgimiento del capitalismo tecnológico; para ello, recurrimos a elaboraciones de Martin Heidegger. Luego se tomarán algunos pasajes de El capital, de Karl Marx, para situar allí el concepto de plusvalía, en el que Lacan apoya su noción de plus de goce. Por último, se analizará la función de las letosas en relación con la posición del analista.</p>

O presente artigo objetiva analisar os desafios impostos pela pandemia instaurada pela COVID-19 e os impactos decorrentes das medidas sanitárias de isolamento social sobre as atividades do Programa de Extensão Centro de Referência da Cultura Popular Max Justo Guedes. Diante do panorama trazido por essa nova realidade, este artigo igualmente aborda as estratégias de trabalho adotadas visando a dar prosseguimento às atividades extensionistas. O programa atua há sete anos na cidade de São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais, por intermédio da Universidade Federal que carrega o nome da cidade. O Centro de Referência tem como forma de atuação oficinas temáticas, principalmente relacionadas à cultura e ao patrimônio afrodescendentes, voltadas para o público infantil e ocorridas no Fortim dos Emboabas, um casarão histórico que foi doado para a Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (UFSJ) e que se encontra localizado no bairro Alto das Mercês. Para uma análise crítica da atual situação, estaremos utilizando, como aporte teórico, as obras de Sigmund Freud, Hannah Arendt e Martin Heidegger, e seus respectivos estudos acerca do luto, da imprevisibilidade da ação humana e da versatilidade quanto à capacidade do ser humano de recriar-se.

The Way

This article is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenology “Nothingness” by Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre. Through research of existential phe­nomenology, the article also touches on the topic of “mood” as philosophical in­tentionality. Various kinds of “moods”, such as faintness (Verstimmung), ennui (Langeweile), burden (Geworden), inquisitiveness (Neugier), care (Sorge) and conscience (Gewissen), by Martin Heidegger’s and nausea (la nausée), anxiety (l’anxiété), dizziness (le vertige) by Jean-Paul Sartre, is considered in the context of what they may matter in an ontological sense. The phenomenologically under­stood “mood” as a general intentionality towards something is connected with the way in which the existing is able to ask about its own self. In addition, the ar­ticle forms the concept of the original ontological and phenomenological “in­completeness” of any existential experience. It is this incompleteness, this “al­ways-still-not” that provides an existential opportunity to realize oneself not only thrown into the world, but also different from the general flow of being. This “elusive emptiness” is interpreted in the article in accordance with the psychoan­alytic category of “real” (Jacques Lacan).

The chapter examines the role of worldlessness in the works of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. The first half of the chapter concentrates on Freud and the way the worldlessness of life becomes the central problem of his metapsychological reflections. This inquiry allows us to define the Freudian unconscious as the location where the worldlessness of life and the worldlessness of thought meet. The second half of the chapter traces the idea of worldlessness in the works of Lacan. It focuses on Lacan’s discussions of the signifier, psychosis and anxiety. It concludes by arguing that Lacan defines psychoanalysis as the science of worldlessness.

Set Up

Despite tremendous interest in social games and game studies, the potential of game heuristics for the field of mixed methods remains unknown. This article introduces game heuristics to mixed methods research, showing how it was used in a specific study on the survival probabilities on the Titanic. Specifically, we describe how game heuristics was used to create the explanandum, code and interpret the qualitative material, and set up and interpret the quantitative model. Furthermore, we show and explicate how game heuristics was used to construct seven types of meta-inferences. The Titanic data set is especially interesting, since it is routinely used for statistical mono-method teaching; however, it can be shown that a mixed methods approach leads to a better explanation.

While social games such as Zynga's FarmVille are often positioned as poor gaming experiences or as disguised financial and data-extraction processes (Bogost, 2010; Rossi, 2009), this article considers social games as part of a wider regime of social interaction and creative identity work. By definition, social games are located within extensive online social networks. Gameplay is thus situated within a number of overlapping contexts: the game, the broader social network and the material conditions of access, including different devices (mobile or desktop) and different locations. Moreover, given widely discussed differences between social game players and console- and PC-based game players (Wohn, 2011: 199), and game-play mechanics, these broader contexts further a reading of social gameplay as part of the diverse millieux of everyday life. The article argues that social games are spaces of creative expression, social dynamics and identity co-creation that cannot be understood without considering their broader contexts.
