Os destinos da voz no autismo: dos objetos autísticos à pulsão invocante

Abstract

In the particular paths of how the autistic subject constitutes his voice, based on his specific relationship with the autistic object and in articulation with the circuit of the invoking drive, this thesis intends as a general objective to investigate the clinical possibilities with autistic subjects when the voice becomes present. as an autistic object identifying the destinations of the voice in autistic logic. In an attempt to achieve this objective, initially in one chapter, we turn to the metapsychology of the original to think about the psychoanalytic aspects of psychic development and subjective constitution and, consequently, the possible impasses that can arise in an autistic position. The different conceptions of object in psychoanalysis are rescued to support the understanding and review of the notion of autistic object, presented in a second chapter. In this, the historical evolution of autism is presented from Kanner to the DSM-5, psychoanalytic understandings about autism are also presented critically to delve deeper into the readings of the Lacanian field on autism: either as an impasse in the operation of alienation, or as a failure installation of the instinctual circuit. In the final chapter, the voice is presented in a psychoanalytic conception based on the circuit of the invoking drive, indicated by Lacan and worked on by authors such as Didier-Weill and Vivès. Such a circuit is also conceived as an intertwining of two instinctual sources by Porge in an echo stage. Another fundamental aspect for understanding the subject's voice is the concept of deaf point developed by Vivès. With such categories, the autistic subject's impasses with the voice object are identified and, with the clinical management of authors such as Maleval and Vivès, and with the work of an extension clinic, the fate of the voice in autism is recognized. The thesis contributes, based on the hypothesis of an autistic refusal to incorporate the voice of the Other, to the understanding of how the autistic subject inhabits and is inhabited by the linguistic universe, with all the particularities of the voice as an autistic object, in attempts to maintain points of contact with others.
