JUNQUEIRA FILHO, Luiz Carlos Uchôa. The “squabble” (“prise de Bec”) between Beckett and Bion: the “experimental” insight in the glaringly darkness. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.2, pp.103-117. ISSN 0486-641X.

This paper starts with the premiss that the psychotherapeutic encounter between Wilfred Bion and Samuel Beckett created a sort of emotional laboratory rich in “experimental insights”. With the help of Film, the only film with Beckett’ script, an argument is held concerning outer sensorial vision and inner psychical vision. The subject develops in addition to the concepts of binocular and monocular visions, suggested by Bion and well illustrated in Beckett’s work. Confronting the “weakness syntax” that supports his work with the analyst’s “negative capability” which, in Bion’s opinion makes it possible to grasp the analysand’s “wild thoughts”, the paper stresses the difference between no-thing an nothing underlying the dialectics between being and non-being, existence and non-existence. As an epilogue it suggests that both authors complement themselves in the enunciation of basic existential questions: “How to think the unthinkable, how to name the unamable, how to know the unknowable?”
