The urgency clinic and the listening of the subject of the unconscious in the hospital context: praxis and theorizations focused on the field of politics and institutions

Abstract

As a result of our initial project, in view of the reflections from praxis in a hospital, at Holy House of Mercy, this project aims at an exchange in France, allocated at Diderot University Paris VII. The selection of the site is due to the bibliographical production that has been evidenced in French territory in recent years, as far as the research problem of this project is concerned - as a condition of the application for a Research Internship Scholarship Abroad. Moreover, French psychoanalysis is our main instrument of work and research, therefore we believe it is consistent with the purposes of investing in a research stage in France. We note how much politics, as it produces subjectivities, is embodied in the demands and sufferings of the subjects who come to the institutions, especially in our interest, that of Health. Psychoanalysis, far from a neutrality, in listening to the subject in relation to desire and its ways of subjectivating anguish, has its position regarding politics and a specific notion of health by which it is inspired. Therefore, we seek with this exchange to investigate the psychoanalytic literature, referenced in Freud and Lacan, delimited in the reflections of the psychoanalysis around the contemporary politics and its insertion in the institutions of attendance to the subjects in suffering (General Hospitals, specialized, psychiatric and offices). Acquiring the scholarship for the research stage is also the opportunity to widen the scope and appropriation of the effects of our Intercessor Device "work method" through proximity to a university culture from another country, in this case: culture university.
