Abstract

CUNHA, Eduardo Leal  and  BIRMAN, Joel. Transfer, lransmission and subjectivation: About the reference to Socrates and Alcibiades in Lacan and Foucault. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1-2, pp. 327-358. ISSN 1518-6148.

This article discusses the transferential relationship from its ethical dimension, in which the relationship with the other and the processes of subjectivation articulate. In order to do that, it seeks to establish a counterpoint between the readings, by Lacan and Foucault, of the relationship between Socrates and Alcibiades, taken by both authors as a reference for the formative process. Thus, works with Lacan's formulations about the transmission of psychoanalysis, in which the discussion of the transference bond occupies a central place, especially in his "Proposition du 9 October 1967", placing it in opposition to the reading established by Foucault about the care of himself and the teacher/pupil relationship in the Hellenistic world, particularly in the course given at the Collège de France, entitled "L'hermeneutique du sujet". Considering how in each of these authors the structural and political dimensions are seen as central in the formative formation, in Lacan and Foucault, respectively, signals the need for an articulation between those dimensions, as seen in a broader understanding of the transference, which precisely account for their ethical reach. For this, firstly contextualizes the Socratic character in each of the two authors, linking the reference to the Greek world to their respective theoretical projects, thus highlighting points of closeness and distance.

Keywords : Transference; transmission of psychoanalysis; ethics; politics; subjectivation.
