Abstract

GUIMARAES FILHO, Paulo Duarte. Relations between transitional phenomena and playing in Winnicott's work, and Peirce's semiotics. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.4, pp. 33-53. ISSN 0486-641X.

The paper starts with a reference to the way relations between Peirce's philosophy and psychoanalysis have been studied by both philosophers and psychoanalysts. When it comes to the study of these relations, Donald Winnicott's conceptions about transitional objects, transitional phenomena, and playing are of special interest because of their connection with Peirce's philosophy. The author studies how elements of Peirce's semiotics may improve the understanding of Winnicott's ideas, especially about his notion of symbolization. The author's examination is particularly through the discrimination of aspects of semiotics, which may be found in transitional objects, transitional phenomena, and the act of playing. Besides, this study provides, therefore, some extended dimensions of the meaning of these Winnicott's conceptions. This paper deeply investigates these issues in Winnicott's clinical cases of Edmund and Diana, besides two other clinical situations.

Keywords : Peirce; semiotic; Winnicott; transitional objects; transitional phenomena; playing; symbolization.
