Transmissão da psicanálise e universidade: a formulação de um saber mediante o dispositivo do ensinante de Lacan

Abstract

This dissertation is a bibliography-based study, which aims at promoting a theoretical arguing between Freud and Lacan on how Psychoanalysis is taught at the University. As consequence, the study provides a context of Psychoanalytic theory teaching in Brazilian academy, specifically in Psychology graduation courses. The research approaches to issues on psychoanalysis teaching in Psychology courses and within clinical supervision. In such perspective, there can be the formulation of a knowledge based on which psychoanalyst can establish a subversion of University discourses (student’s, professor’s, hysterics’, analyst’s), being aware of his/her semblance of someone who knows everything and conscientious of the Other’s absence. For that, the research highlights that knowledge transmission carried out within clinical supervision should be similar to the transmission of a “not all” knowledge, by means of Lacan’s “teacher” device for Ecole Freudienne de Paris (EFP). Nonetheless, the study retakes some important periods that reflect Freud’s irresoluteness in the concerning to Psychoanalysis insertion at academic environment, and to the misunderstandings raised on the right place to psychoanalyst’s instruction, which Freud argued in some texts. It provides the thread of theoretical bases that influenced both Freud and Lacan, and what the possibility for psychoanalytic transmission inside and out Psychoanalysis institutions, as well as at the University, represented for each of them. It describes how Lacan advanced within theory in the related to teaching, as a result of his return to Freudian work, which triggered the Four Discourses Theory elaboration and, later, it made possible to handle “teacher” device by psychoanalyst during teaching, using hysterics’ discourse.
