Abstract

Inicialmente, considera-se como as possibilidades de relações entre a psicanálise e a filosofia de Peirce têm sido objeto de trabalhos de filósofos e psicanalistas. São destacadas as noções de Winnicott sobre os objetos e fenômenos transicionais e o brincar, como uma área de particular interesse para o estudo dessas relações, dadas suas ligações com a filosofia de Peirce. É, então, indicado como Winnicott faz referência às relações da simbolização (não em termos peircianos) com os objetos e fenômenos transicionais e indica como um “full understanding” dos processos de simbolização podem contribuir para o conhecimento desses fenômenos. Considerando essa manifestação de Winnicott, é examinado de que modo a semiótica de Peirce contém elementos que auxiliam o entendimento do que é chamado de “simbolização”, por Winnicott. Assim,, também permitindo a discriminação dos aspectos semióticos presentes nos objetos e fenômenos transicionais e no brincar, permitindo, assim, uma ampliação de algumas dimensões da significação das concepções de Winnicott. As questões referidas são examinadas amplamente nos casos clínicos de “Edmund” e “Diana”, citados por Winnicott e em outras duas situações clínicas apresentadas pelo autor.

Highlights

  • The different forms of representation of our emotional experiences have been one of the main foci in psychoanalytical studies

  • A recognized and significant contribution from these studies of particular interest to psychoanalysis is by the North-American philosopher Charles Peirce (1958), especially his contributions to semiotics

  • The relationship between psychoanalysis and Peirce’s philosophy has been discussed in several papers published by philosophers (COLAPIETRO, 1989, 1995, 2006, and 2008; and VER EEKE, 2000) and psychoanalysts (MULLER, 1996, and 2006; SALOMONSSON, 2007; STEINER, 2007; and FISCHBEIN, 2011). Through these two areas of study, we pay attention to something that until now had not been properly explored in the psychoanalytic literature, which is the fact that some of the most original and creative concepts by authors as prestigious as Winnicott and Bion have a lot in common with the semiotic aspects studied by Peirce

Summary

Introduction

The different forms of representation of our emotional experiences have been one of the main foci in psychoanalytical studies. The relationship between psychoanalysis and Peirce’s philosophy has been discussed in several papers published by philosophers (COLAPIETRO, 1989, 1995, 2006, and 2008; and VER EEKE, 2000) and psychoanalysts (MULLER, 1996, and 2006; SALOMONSSON, 2007; STEINER, 2007; and FISCHBEIN, 2011) Through these two areas of study, we pay attention to something that until now had not been properly explored in the psychoanalytic literature, which is the fact that some of the most original and creative concepts by authors as prestigious as Winnicott and Bion have a lot in common with the semiotic aspects studied by Peirce. Several examples are available in regard to Bion (1992), but since he is not the subject of our analysis at this time, we will only recall his writings published posthumously in “Cogitations,” in which he deals with various issues related to the philosophical level, with frequent references to authors such as Hume, Poincaré, Whitehead, Bradley, Braithwaite, and several others
