GEOFFROY, Miriam Anne. The “Burst institution" as a "fort-game" - from Jacques Lacan to the idea of the "Burst Instituion" of the école expérimentale de Bonneuil -Sur-Marne.Translated byKelly Cristina Brandão da Silva. Estilos clin. [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.17, pp. 26-51. ISSN 1415-7128.

This article describes the idea of the “burst institution” of the École Expérimentale de Bonneuil- sur-Marne. This idea could become the École’s main characteristic only because the experimental practice of this institution (which receives children and juveniles in difficulties) is joined with psychoanalytical, (post- )structuralistic and antipsychiatrical theories. In “Bonneuil”, psychoanalytical theories are not only applied to the analysis of interpersonal relations, but also help understanding institutional structures. In this way, the “burst institution” opens the opportunity to go “a stretch on the road of wish” for the children and juveniles as well as for the adults who work there. Finally, I show how this institution has - throughout and despite of its 30 years of existence as “burst institution” - managed to resist institutional sclerosis.

Keywords : Burst Institution; Fort-Da, Game; Anti-Psychiatry.
