Resumen

AGUIAR, Monica Maria Martins. In search of a common language. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.1, pp.75-81. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author considers that the individuals ability to dialogue with another person, has its origins in the experience of first speaking through someone, who accepts to obscure their own subjectivity (and eventually their own language). This will favor the development of the individual’s true subjectivity. The language used in the analysis, with its characteristics and inflections may therefore be that of the patient. A clinical case is presented, of a foreign adolescent whose English language was adopted by the analyst with all of its peculiarities. An animated feature film is used as a parallel illustration of the patient’s story.

Palabras clave : Dialogue; Language; Idiom; Subjectivity; Subjective object.
