Abstract

TRABUCCO, Luca. Thinking about setting. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.2, pp.115-132. ISSN 0486-641X.

In this paper the author approaches a discourse on the setting that does not concern as much its characteristics and functions as its conceptual meaning. The setting can be considered the "material" or "factual" part of the analytical relationship, but the reduction of the setting to its external elements must be understood as an intolerance of the truth, as a primary relationship between irreducible elements. The setting is a real space in which dreams can create a space in which being and dreaming are two inseparable moments. Therefore, to indicate a fundamental element, it can be said that the setting has to do with the paradoxical ambiguity of being.

Keywords : setting; memory and desire; invariance and transformation; ambiguity; paradoxes.
