The teaching of the Philosophy and Psychoanalysis is part of the complementary training activities of the CDS in Philosophical Sciences. Which is the contribution of psychoanalysis to the understanding of current social phenomena? The course aims to answer this question, tracing a path between psychoanalysis, ethics, politics, culture, and society and highlighting the educational - and not just clinical - value of the discipline. At the end of the course, the student will have acquired a major and more clear understinding of the current relational and intersubjective paradigm present in contemporary psychoanalysis and will be able to distinguish the complex intertwining of individual, group and collective psychic functioning.
teacher profile teaching materials
1) Intersubjectivity and psychic functioning (how the mind is structured, how it works, what are the subject-society interconnections according within a psychoanalytic perspective)
2) Centrality of emotional-affective aspects.
Contemporary psychoanalytic papers will be read and discussed in class as a stimulus for critical and reflective thinking. Issues addressed in each will be explored, enriching them with additional theoretical knowledge and empirical case-studies. Students will be involved and stimulated within a climate designed to raise and satisfy their questions and curiosities.
The course benefits from international contributions mutated by an interdisciplinary dialogue with phenomenological philosophy. In second part, 3 foreign faculty members will be invited to share their knowledge and perspective.
Susi Ferrarello (California State University) will focus on love in relation to some dilemmas that may arise in daily life. This lecture will present cases of philosophical counseling and rehearse practical exercises in the classroom.
Valeria Bizzarri (Husserl Archives Leuven, Katholieke University) will address the topic of sociality through intercorporeality of emotions and shared intentionality
Francesca Brencio (University of Siville) will explore affectivity through the lens of pre-reflexivity, highlightening the role of corporeality and kinetic dimensions in emotional modulation
