MATIOLI, Aline Spaciari  y  MARTINEZ, Viviana Velasco Carola. From Medeia to parental alienation: tragic translations for the pulsional excess. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.53, n.2, pp.164-193. ISSN 0101-4838.

Euripides' Greek tragedy, Medeia, is taken as a metaphor to discuss the vicissitudes of a romantic separation. Inspired by Jean Laplanche's translation theory, we privilege the helplessness of the heroine in the face of the disconnected sexual drive due to the rupture of the link with Jasão, which leads her to adopt less organized forms in attempt to handle with the excess drive, mainly because of not finding translation assistants in the social environment. Contemporaneously besides to the extreme cases of filicide, it is in parental alienation that the spouse, who feels abandoned, seems to find connection resources, but in an equally precarious way, which leaves remains untranslated and therefore poorly elaborated.

Palabras clave : Psychoanalysis; love separation; Greek tragedy; theory of generalized seduction; parental alienation.
