Abstract

The function of the symbolic oedipal third party is undergoing an unprecedented fragilisation. This is to be heard in consultations as a disorder in relationships, poorly differentiated genealogical places, a lack or a fragilisation of the paternal function. The deeper reasons for this are to be sought not in the way the concrete and social fathers assume their paternity, but in what institutes fathers and paternal filiations. Three historical breaks have over the last hundred years dislocated the field of paternity. The anthropological and subjective issues at stake in these dislocations are specific in each case. Whence the question: what new logic of the paternal's place? Who secure today the function of the symbolic oedipal third party between the child and his mother?
