Abstract

MENDES, Elzilaine Domingues. Impasses in the Constitution of the Subject caused by Digital Technologies. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.spe2, pp. 1-10. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20iesp2.e8984.

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the relationship between digital technologies and their effects on the constitution of the psyche. Social transformations and the development of technology have expanded the modalities of playing. The screens started to take the place of parents, which has contributed to the psychic fragility of children and the increase in psychopathologies, such as delays in language development, difficulties in socializing, obesity, depression, learning problems, and dependence. We resume Freud's writings on the importance of playing in the constitution of the subject, since, while playing, the child elaborates his conflicts and develops autonomy and creativity.

Keywords : play; childhood; screens; subjectivity; contemporaneity.
