Abstract

BARROS, Elias Mallet da Rocha. Botella, Ogden, Green, Ferro, Bion: comment to César Botella’s interview. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.1, pp. 33-45. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author discusses the articulation of concepts in C. Botella’s articles with other developments operated by W. Bion, T. Ogden, R. Britton, E. R. Barros and A. Ferro suggesting that through such intertwined dialogues one is able to observe an intense psychoanalytical thought being developed. Articulation occurs around the concept of representation and/or absence of representation. The author also suggests that Latin America, in its peculiar way of grasping new concepts in a new context, is the ideal space to observe such articulation being accomplished. The matter of symbols’ development processes and its internal logic is also examined.

Keywords : Representation; Absence of representation; Irrepresentable; Symbol; Aff ective pictogram.
