"Apostei na coroa e no coração": enredos de analistas cotistas sobre a sustentação de suas (form)ações afirmativas em psicanálise

Abstract

This paper takes as its starting point the concern that has arisen in the wake of the training of quota analysts, trajectories named in this way based on the hypothesis that access to psychoanalytic transmission made possible by affirmative action carries a symbolic operation that leaves its mark on the modes of agency in training. The starting point is therefore the question: How do analysts who experience affirmative action sustain a training course in psychoanalysis? Thus, the general objective is to investigate the practices that sustain training in psychoanalysis based on the experience of quota analysts in Fortaleza, Ceará. The work is methodologically anchored in the invention provided by psychoanalytic research methods, which are structured by transference. The methodological design consisted of three meetings with participants who produced diaries used as material for analysis, in a bet on the writing of the formations. The groups and diaries revealed meanings about being a quota holder that initially involve strangeness, nonconformity, and disempowerment, but flourish when desire is cultivated in the collective. The strategies and complexities of sustaining listening as work were also highlighted, situating it as not only a craft but also a means of survival. The clues pointed to a revitalization of the clinic when it is designed as an authorial practice that passes through the community. Finally, the relationship with psychoanalytic schools revealed distancing and disidentification, but also indicated recognition that these still constitute spaces for the elaboration of theory among peers, with a desire to occupy them if they open up to the necessary territorialization of their ethos. Furthermore, the notion of enchantment is identified in these paths, as, in the face of precariousness, ways of carnivalizing psychoanalysis are invented. Therefore, the support of quota trajectories calls on Psychoanalysis to rescue an ethical commitment to training, which is the place of singularity, producing new positions politically aligned with the issues of our time.
