| On constructions in psychoanalysis. |
Order or Susbcribe |
| By Diana Chorne |
| Translated by Andrea Banega |
Narrative and construction are part of the psychoanalytic treatment in the context of the current human suffering, traumas and discomforts. In this setting, the dimension of the signifier and sense has shown its therapeutic nature, shaping feelings of vitality, reality and social bond.
A reading that accounts for a reverse -that which results from myth and fiction upon cutting and separation- is still called for. Here, detritus and marginalities exist in a logical framework in which surprise is generated from abduction. |

| Psychoanalytic figures in transference. |
Order or Susbcribe |
| By Germán L. García |
| Translated by Andrea Banega |
| This article was originally published in Descartes. El análisis en la cultura, Nº 11/12, Anáfora, Buenos Aires, July 1993, pp. 37-40. During the course of analysis, not only do links to people from the analysand’s history appear, but also psychoanalytic figures (Gestalten) are formed, ordered in contingent series. |

| The Freudian understanding of hysteria and its representation in the films of Alfred Hitchcock. |
Order or Susbcribe |
| By Bernard Kennedy |
In this essay I will consider Freud’s theories on hysteria. I will outline his theory of seduction and infantile phantasy. It will involve a consideration of the role of sexuality in hysteria and Freud’s typology of hysterical symptoms. I will then consider other theories of hysteria, including those of Showalter, Mitchell and Foucault.
I will outline Freud’s theory of representation and regression, because each has a role in hysteria, and look at Lacan’s approach to regression. This will lead to a consideration of cinema as a representation of image, where I will illustrate, through two of Hitchcock’s films, Rebecca (1940) and Rope (1948), the representation of hysteria in the female and male gender.
I will illustrate how hysteria is the movement of the return of the repressed and is centred on the Freudian theory of sexual trauma, with its Lacanian resolution of entry to the order of the phallus, and its Freudian resolution through speech. |

| The hole in the pot. |
Order or Susbcribe |
| By Graciela Musachi |
| Translated by Andrea Banega |
The author captures the issue of the contemporary transformation of Freud´s question "What does the woman want?" into "Why are there so many women in psychoanalysis?" and offers an answer based on the Argentine context.
At the same time, she leans on Lacan´s understanding of mysticism to give a more radical reply to this question, pinpointing that which the psychoanalytic discourse sets in motion, particularly with regard to women. |

| The necessity of the accident: Lacan and the question of trauma. |
Order or Susbcribe |
| By Adela Stoppel de Gueller |
| Translated by Alessandra Cassia Leite Barbieri. Revised by Andrea Banega |
| Trauma appears in the early years of psychoanalysis in order to remove neuroses from the field of degenerative diseases of the nervous system. Instead, Freudsupports the notion of accidental causality, thus enabling particular historical contingencies to acquire the statute of determining causal factors. Lacan takes this subject up again to distinguish the real from reality and to question the concept of cause. The advent of the Freudian unconscious appears as an open wound between the cause and that which is affected by the cause. Neurosis is the scar that tries to heal this wound. After Lacan, trauma is no longer an accident, but that around which the subject is constituted. |

| Theodicy, common sense and the success of psychoanalysis in Argentina |
Order or Susbcribe |
| By Sergio Eduardo Visacovsky |
| Translated by Andrea Banega |
| A lot has been said and written about the predominance of psychoanalysis in Argentina, compared to other Latin American and European countries. Master of a large field which comprises an heterogeneous group of practices involved in the treatment of mental ailments, psychoanalysis continues to prevail due to the large number of followers it has among psychoanalysts and patients, the number and importance of psychoanalytic institutions, and the extent to which it has become widespread in the general population, especially in Buenos Aires, the city where it has had the greatest development in Argentina. |
