PAOLA Francesconi president of Catania MODERNITY SLP conference on' THE MODERN PSYCHOANALYSIS Paolo Francesconi Modernity of Psychoanalysis Unlike medicine, which has become a science in the last century, and it is always more to its technological means, but also existed long before that, centuries before the advent of science, until the time of Moliere, as we know from * * The Imaginary Invalid, psychoanalysis could not come to light before the scientific spirit that animated the world. While the medicine was too old, psychoanalysis can only be modern, it is in its very coming into being. The principle of free association Freud involves the idea that a concatenation of words, apparently * free *, will gradually be subject to the law of its internal structure: this requires confidence in the operation of the scientific spirit beyond the intention of the subject. Freud started from there, from the determinism of the unconscious. But we know that psychoanalysis is a science: the fact that the subject of psychoanalysis is the same as the subject of science of psychoanalysis is not a science, but implies that psychoanalysis is, as we are taught Jacques-Alain Miller, a * * result of the discourse of science, which fits into this result, and that's what makes his modernity. The theme of the Conference of Catania, Modernity of psychoanalysis can be understood in this sense, namely that psychoanalysis was born and always puts in any time after the advent of science, in a consequential than the science. In every age a modern psychoanalysis. It would cease to be modern insofar as they did championing ideals, mythological and regressive positions of respect, every time, to current operations in the world of science. An issue that we have made a central point of our reflection, from Lacan, the decline of his father, is, for example, one of the main effects of the scientific world in which we live. Effects that manifest themselves in different registers, by the impact that science has played in reshaping the structure of the family, the relationship between the sexes, or in the office, in the homogenization of our world in terms of communications, economic, financial, and so via ... See the modern clinic, in culture, social, as the subtitle of the conference, it means to decipher these incidents in each of these areas and indicate the place where psychoanalysis can be placed to isolate the real point is that symptoms in certain conditions from the scientific point irreducible tripping of determinism. It means taking measurements from the discontents of civilization that science involves deciphering means the company is located at the point where the effect of the discourse of science, because psychoanalysis can not be located outside, be outside, so to speak, from the consequences of changes induced by science. In short, it is their right, as well as * the * reason since Freud, as the de Lacan * The instance * the letter in the unconscious, in pointing out where the real symptom is in the discourse of science. And to do that, we must take place in its consequences can not be the one thing without the other. Psychoanalysis can not propose a return to humanism before the discourse of science, the return to a parent prior to its dissolution. If we consider this definition of modern psychoanalysis, we might give us a stimulus to the work of the conference interpreting and deciphering how each of these three areas (clinical, cultural, social), and reworked, reshaped, the incidence of Current scientific discourse, and place these consequences in psychoanalysis and its ability to From his experience, to isolate the points where it should be noted that greater risk of foreclosure of the subject that is always on the horizon of the exponential growth of contemporary science. Foreclosure particularly evident when, in the clinical field, the use of chemical or biochemical causation, tends to abolish the real of the speaking. __._,_.___
