Abstract
ABSTRACT Adrienne Harris´ “You Must Remember This” is a propeller to re-encounter the notion of “aprés coup,” a concept that continues to defy analysand’s and analyst’s archetypical constructions. Taking Harris’ invitation to stroll between Tangiers and Casablanca, this piece offers a voyage from the landscape of personal stories to the possibilities within relational clinic, using the savvy of music, film, literature, and philosophy, coalesced in a couple of psychic polaroids. The first polaroid frames the enigmatic presence and movement of memory, the issue of what is it that insists in session. The second, snapshots the bending movements of time and space in liminal experiences at inter-subjective spaces (session-treatment), which demands the analyst to go beyond its own “I” to maintain liminal spaces open for radical alterity to manifest. Finally, the author focuses on the notion of emptiness to create new paths, which may demand the analyst to disown its omnipotence.
