Permanence and change in the role of the analyst: ethical challenges. J. psicanal. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.86, pp. 181-192. ISSN 0103-5835.

Taking as a starting point the cultural and socioeconomic transformations inherent in the transition from Modernity to Contemporaneity, the author reflects upon the individual's changes in his relationships with the dimensions of desire, power, passage to the act and transgression. He makes use of Clarice Lispector's short story "Mineirinho" as means of proposing an ethical discussion for such acts of a "vigilante" nature - as in making justice with one's own hands - which in the current context escape symbolisation. The author concludes by pointing out that these new clinical configurations where lack of symbolisation predominates will entail the need of transformation in the role of the analyst with regard to the clinic as well as subsequent ethical reflection on current psychoanalytic practice.

Palabras clave : ethics; contemporary clinic; symbolization; act; role of the analyst.
