RESUMO

Among Puerto Ricans, support for U.S. statehood (i.e. the complete annexation of Puerto Rico as the 51st state of the United States) has been linked to an internalized sense of inferiority, colonial system justification and political conservatism. However, no research has explored this question from the perspective of U.S. Americans. We analyse the role that the dual colonial ideologies of historical negation (of colonial injustices) and symbolic exclusion (of the colonial subjects) have in explaining support for Puerto Rico's statehood and other political status options for Puerto Rico among U.S. Americans, applying a decolonial adaptation of the Dark Duo Model of Post-Colonial Ideology (DDM). Confirmatory factor analyses validate the factor structure of our adaptation of the DDM scale in an MTurk sample (N = 435) and two student samples (N = 578; N = 381). Latent profile analyses uncover two distinct ideological groups that tend to support Puerto Rican statehood: a 'pro-egalitarian' group committed to both cultural inclusion and material aid for Puerto Rico and a 'neo-colonial' group equally open to cultural inclusion but opposed to material aid. We discuss how symbolic cultural politics, not an egalitarian commitment to material aid aimed at redressing colonial injustices, underlie support for the annexation of Puerto Rico among a significant group of U.S. Americans.

RESUMO

Language describes approach/avoidance intentionality by means of attitudinal verbs (e.g., accept vs. reject). The right superior temporal sulcus (rSTS) has been shown to be recruited in processing action goals and approach intentionality in social contexts. In this study, we examine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of this area improves the processing of attitudinal verbs (either of approach or avoidance) in the context of affirmative and negative sentences [e.g., Julio (did not)/included meat on the grocery list]. After being subjected to tDCS, 46 participants were given sentences for passive reading. Sentences were displayed in segments with a fixed time of exposition, and a verb, either the one mentioned in the sentence or an alternative one was displayed 1,500 ms after the sentence (e.g., included vs. excluded, in the example). Participants were told to read them and then press the space bar to continue the experiment. Results showed shorter latencies for approach verbs that were either mentioned in approach sentences or the alternatives in avoidance sentences, both in affirmative and negative versions under anodal conditions compared to sham conditions. Thus, the anodal stimulation of rSTS affected the accessibility of approach verbs that were not modulated either by being mentioned or by sentence polarity. In addition, mentioned verbs had shorter reading times than the alternative ones in negative sentences in the anodal vs. sham condition. This suggests that stimulation caused an effect of negation in the activation of the mentioned verb. Implications are discussed in the context of the role of the rSTS in processing attitudinal verbs and negation to understand better approach and avoidance mediated by language in the framework of the two-step model of negation processing.

RESUMO

RESUMEN En 1880 Jules Cotard describió un conjunto de delirios en forma de negaciones que luego se denominó síndrome con su apellido como epónimo. Se trata de una condición infrecuente que se caracteriza por delirios nihilistas en los cuales la persona piensa que «se encuentra muerta o que el mundo ya no existe¼. En este documento se realiza el seguimiento de un par de casos en los que se evidencia una semiología amplia y enriquecedora desde el punto de vista descriptivo, lo que permite revisarlos junto con el delirio de Cotard a la luz de la psiquiatría moderna. El primero corresponde a un trastorno depresivo y el otro se da en el contexto de un trastorno psicótico no afectivo. Se plantea la revisión de la literatura desde lo descrito por Cotard hasta llegar a las clasificaciones psiquiátricas actuales

ABSTRACT In 1880, Jules Cotard described a set of delusions in the form of negations that later became his eponymous syndrome. Cotard's syndrome is an uncommon condition characterised by the presence of nihilistic delusions in which the person thinks that "they are dead or that the world no longer exists". This document describes two cases in which a broad and enriching semiology is evidenced from a descriptive point of view, which allows us to review them together with Cotard's syndrome in the light of modern psychiatry. The first case corresponds to a depressive disorder and the other occurs in the context of a non-affective psychotic disorder. A review of the literature is presented from what Cotard described until the current psychiatric classifications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Processing of linguistic negation has been associated to inhibitory brain mechanisms. However, no study has tapped this link via multimodal measures in patients with core inhibitory alterations, a critical approach to reveal direct neural correlates and potential disease markers. METHODS: Here we examined oscillatory, neuroanatomical, and functional connectivity signatures of a recently reported Go/No-go negation task in healthy controls and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients, typified by primary and generalized inhibitory disruptions. To test for specificity, we also recruited persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD), a disease involving frequent but nonprimary inhibitory deficits. RESULTS: In controls, negative sentences in the No-go condition distinctly involved frontocentral delta (2-3 Hz) suppression, a canonical inhibitory marker. In bvFTD patients, this modulation was selectively abolished and significantly correlated with the volume and functional connectivity of regions supporting inhibition (e.g. precentral gyrus, caudate nucleus, and cerebellum). Such canonical delta suppression was preserved in the AD group and associated with widespread anatomo-functional patterns across non-inhibitory regions. DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that negation hinges on the integrity and interaction of spatiotemporal inhibitory mechanisms. Moreover, our results reveal potential neurocognitive markers of bvFTD, opening a new agenda at the crossing of cognitive neuroscience and behavioral neurology.

RESUMO

Abstract The paper attempts to illustrate how refusing an interpretation can lead to very different consequences within Freudian, Jungian, and other psychotherapeutic models. In some cases, a "no" may refute the model of reference, while in others it may have less radical meanings. Refusing an interpretation (if it is consistent with the model and the patient's history) within a Freudian environment can also challenge the validity of the model. From a Jungian perspective, a refusal may simply lead the therapist to change the model of reference, since no single model is considered universally valid. Other examples are also provided from the psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavior, and family therapy research traditions.

Resumen Este artículo intenta ilustrar cómo rechazar una interpretación puede tener consecuencias muy diferentes dentro de los modelos psicoterapéuticos de Freud, Jung y otros. En algunos casos, un "no" puede refutar el modelo de referencia, mientras que en otros puede tener significados menos radicales. Rechazar una interpretación (si es consistente con el modelo y la historia del paciente) dentro de un entorno freudiano también puede cuestionar la validez del modelo. Desde una perspectiva de Jung, una negativa puede llevar simplemente al terapeuta a cambiar el modelo de referencia, ya que ningún modelo único se considera universalmente válido. También se muestran otros ejemplos de las tradiciones de investigación psicoanalítica, cognitivo-conductual y de terapia familiar.

RESUMO

O texto visa estudar o negacionismo do ponto de vista psicanalítico. Inicialmente se estudam personagens míticos propondo-se que Liríope, Édipo e Jocasta "fizeram vista grossa" para a realidade. Em seguida são discutidas situações clínicas em que os pacientes deformam a percepção da realidade atacando seu aparelho de percepção, em particular a visão. O estudo clínico se articula com a abordagem do negacionismo social. Propõe-se que, nessas situações, aquilo que se nega é substituído por uma nova realidade baseada em narrativas mentirosas que buscam recuperar mitos ancestrais idealizados. São discutidos também aspectos da formação analítica. O trabalho é concluído alertando-se para o risco de negar os perigos representados pelo negacionismo fanático.

The text aims to study denialism from the psychoanalytic point of view. Initially it is studied mythical characters proposing that Liriope, Oedipus and Jocasta "turn a blind eye" to reality. Next, clinical situations are discussed in which patients deform the perception of reality by attacking their perception apparatus, in particular vision. The clinical study is articulated with the approach of social denialism. It is proposed that situations what are denied are replaced by new realities based on lying narratives that seek to recover idealized ancestral myths. Aspects of the analytic training are also discussed. The work is completed by warning of the risk of denying the dangers posed by the fanatical denialist.

Le texte vise à étudier le négationnisme d'un point de vue psychanalytique. Dans un premier temps, des personnages mythiques sont étudiés, proposant que Liríope, Odipe et Jocaste « ont fermé les yeux ¼ sur la réalité. Ensuite, des situations cliniques sont discutées dans lesquelles des patients déforment leur perception de la réalité en attaquant leur appareil de perception, en particulier leur vision. L'étude clinique s'articule avec l'approche du negationnisme social. Il est proposé que, dans ces situations, ce qui est nié soit remplacé par une nouvelle réalité basée sur des récits mensongers qui cherchent à récupérer des mythes ancestraux idéalisés. Les aspects de la formation analytique sont également abordés. L'ouvrage se termine en alertant sur le risque de nier les dangers du déni fanatique.

RESUMO

In this paper we show that, when analyzed with contemporary tools in logic-such as Dunn-style semantics, Reichenbach's three-valued logic exhibits many interesting features, and even new responses to some of the old objections to it can be attempted. Also, we establish some connections between Reichenbach's three-valued logic and some contra-classical logics.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective :This study aims to describe the relationship between personality and propositional reasoning regarding compound negations by using, in particular, De Morgan's laws. Method :To evaluate personality traits, we used the Adjective Checklist for Personality Assessment, an instrument based on the Big Five theory and developed for the Argentine context. To assess reasoning, we used a task implemented in previous studies, according to which subjects had to find the logical equivalent of a compound negation. Four response options were offered: one was correct and the other three were linked to specific biases. Both the research study and the paradigm were developed on the basis of the Mental Models Theory of Negation. The study had a correlational design and included 150 university students. Results :We found that factors such as neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness were linked to specific response patterns. Difficulty and context were considered mediators of the process. Discussion :The evidence was compatible with the Mental Models Theory but inconsistent with theories based on formal rules.

Resumen Objetivo: el propósito de este estudio es describir la relación entre personalidad y razonamiento proposicional sobre negaciones compuestas, de forma particular aplicado a las leyes De Morgan. Método :para evaluar los rasgos de personalidad se utilizó el Listado de Adjetivos para Evaluar Personalidad, un instrumento basado en la Teoría de los Cinco Factores desarrollado para el medio Argentino. En el caso del razonamiento, se aplicó una tarea utilizada en estudios previos, en la cual el sujeto debía encontrar el equivalente lógico de una negación compuesta. Se ofrecieron cuatro opciones de respuesta, una correcta y tres ligadas a sesgos específicos. Tanto la investigación como el paradigma, fueron diseñados desde la Teoría de Modelos Mentales propuesta para la negación. El estudio fue de tipo correlacional, y participaron del mismo 150 estudiantes universitarios. Resultados :se encontró que los factores de Neuroticismo, Extraversión y Amabilidad estaban ligados a patrones de respuestas específicos. La dificultad y el contexto fueron considerados mediadores del proceso. Discusión :la evidencia resultó compatible con la Teoría de Modelos Mentales pero inconsistente respecto de las teorías basadas en reglas formales.

RESUMO

Neste trabalho a autora revisita várias abordagens teóricas diferentes a respeito da adolescência e do suicídio nessa fase da vida, enfatizando a diferença entre o desejo de matar-se, procurando sair desta vida em busca de outra, ou mesmo tentando eliminar um perseguidor interno, e o desejo de morrer propriamente dito. As situações clínicas oferecidas iluminam diferentes configurações e funcionamentos mentais, exemplificando aspectos importantes, como onipotência, negação da violência interna, desejo de união com o objeto idealizado e vivências francamente psicóticas, frequentes nessa fase da vida, onde a desfusão pulsional libera a destrutividade, tornando a personalidade vulnerável aos elementos provenientes da explosão pulsional e do ambiente social e cultural. O trabalho traz também contribuições da literatura que ajudam a ampliar nossas possibilidades de compreender a complexidade da condição humana.

In this work the author revisits several theoretical approaches on adolescence and on suicide in this stage of life, emphasizing the difference between the wish to kill oneself to escape this life in search of another one, or to try to eliminate an inner persecutor, and the wish to die per se. The clinical situations presented shed light on different mental configurations and functioning that exemplify important aspects such as omnipotence, denial of the inner violence, desire to unite with the idealized object, and clearly psychotic experiences, frequent in this stage of life, in which the termination drive releases destructiveness making the personality vulnerable to the elements originated from the pulsatory explosion and from the sociocultural environment. The work also brings contributions from Literature, which help amplify our possibilities to understand the complexity of the human condition.

En este artículo, la autora revisa varios enfoques teóricos diferentes acerca de la adolescencia y del suicidio en esta etapa de la vida, enfatizando la diferencia entre el deseo de suicidarse - con la intención de abandonar esta vida en busca de otra o, incluso, eliminar un acosador interno - y el deseo de morir. Las situaciones clínicas que se ofrecen ilustran las diferentes configuraciones y funcionamientos mentales, ejemplificando aspectos importantes como la omnipotencia, la negación de la violencia interna, el deseo de unión con el objeto idealizado y las experiencias francamente psicóticas, frecuentes en esta fase de la vida, donde la defusión pulsional libera la destructividad, volviendo la personalidad vulnerable a los elementos provenientes de la explosión pulsional y del entorno social y cultural. El trabajo aporta, además, contribuciones de la literatura que ayudan a ampliar nuestras posibilidades de comprender la complejidad de la condición humana.

Dans ce travail, l'auteur revisite différents abordages théoriques concernant l'adolescence aussi bien que le suicide dans cette phase de la vie. Elle met l'accent sur la distinction entre le désir de se tuer, quittant cette vie pour en trouver une autre ou même pour essayer d'éliminer un persécuteur intérieur, et le désir de mourir proprement dit. Les cas cliniques proposés éclairent diverses configurations et fonctionnements mentaux, en illustrant certains aspects importants comme la toute-puissance, la négation de la violence intérieure, le désir d'union à l'objet idéalisé et des vécus franchement psychotiques, fréquents dans cette période de la vie où la déliaison pulsionnelle libère la destructivité et rend la personnalité vulnérable aux éléments issus de l'explosion pulsionnelle et de l'ambiance sociale et culturelle. Le travail puise également dans la littérature une aide pour la compréhension de la complexité de la condition humaine.

RESUMO

Propomos, no texto que se segue, retomar a fina e acurada leitura realizada por Barbaras em torno da problemática sartriana do desejo e sua relação com a negação. Trata-se de pensar o fenômeno da falta situada no coração do ser. É, portanto, no contexto desse tema que nasce a questão posta por Barbaras: "Como pode haver desejo, se o desejado não pode ser de alguma maneira?". Busca-se mostrar que, para além de certo realismo ingênuo de Sartre, há uma enorme diferença entre a ontologia fenomenológica não idealista e a ingenuidade realista pela qual insiste-se em ler a ontologia sartriana. Assim, ao invés da identificação entre desejo e falta (o que, irremediavelmente, indica certo grau de vontade), a ontologia de Sartre é - sem mais - ontologia da negatividade: Ser e Nada referem-se ao ser categorial (ontológicos), enquanto ser-para-si e ser-em-si são existentes (ônticos, fenômenos enfim); numa palavra, Sartre perverte intencionalmente o método puritanamente fenomenológico.

The purpose of this paper is to reflect about Barbaras' lecture of the Sartrian desire problem and its relation to negation. This question is situated inside the phenomenon of lack in the heart of being. It is, therefore, in the context of this theme that the question posed by Barbaras arises: "How can exists desire, if the desired cannot be in any way?" The point is demonstrating that, beyond Sartre's naïve realism, there is a huge difference between the non-idealist phenomenological ontology and the naïve realistic by which ones insists on reading the Sartrian ontology. Thus, instead of the identification desire and lack (which inevitably indicates a certain degree of will), Sartre's ontology is - in fact - ontology of negativity: Being and Nothing refer to being categorial (ontological), but being-to-itself and being-in-themselves are existential (ontically - they are both phenomena); in this way, Sartre deliberately changes the purity phenomenological method.

En el texto siguiente, proponemos retomar la fina y exacta lectura realizada por Barbaras a respecto de la problemática sartriana del deseo y su relación con la negación. Busca-se pensar el fenómeno de la falta situada en el corazón del ser. Es, por lo tanto, en el contexto de ese tema que nace la cuestión planteada por Barbaras: "¿Cómo puede haber deseo, si lo deseado no puede ser de alguna manera?". Intenta-se mostrar que, además de cierto realismo ingenuo de Sartre, hay una diferencia entre una ontología fenomenológica no idealista y la ingenuidad realista por la que se insiste en leer la ontología sartriana. Por lo tanto, en lugar de la identificación entre deseo y falta (lo que, sin remedio, indica cierto grado de voluntad), la ontología de Sartre es - sin embargo - ontología de la negatividad: Ser y Nada se refieren al ser categorial (ontológicos), mientras el ser-para-si y ser-en-sí son existentes (ónticos, fenómenos al cabo); en una palabra, Sartre no sigue el método puritanamente fenomenológico.

RESUMO

A negative reference, such as "not the sculpture" (where the sculpture is a name the speaker had only just invented to describe an unconventional-looking object and where the negation is saying that she does not currently desire that object), seems like a perilous and linguistically underdetermined way to point to another object, especially when there are three objects to choose from. To succeed, it obliges listeners to rely on contextual elements to determine which object the speaker has in mind. Prior work has shown that pragmatic inference-making plays a crucial role in such an interpretation process. When a negative reference leaves two candidate objects to choose from, listeners avoid an object that had been previously named, preferring instead an unconventional-looking object that had remained unnamed (Kronmüller et al., 2017). In the present study, we build over these findings by maintaining our focus on the two remaining objects (what we call the second and third objects) as we systematically vary two features. With respect to the second object - which is always unconventional looking - we vary whether or not it has been given a name. With respect to the third object - which is never named - we vary whether it is unconventional or conventional looking (for the latter, imagine an object that clearly resembles a bicycle). As revealed by selection patterns and eye-movements in a visual-world eye-tracking paradigm, we replicate our previous findings that show that participants choose randomly when both of the remaining objects are unconventional looking and unnamed and that they opt reliably in favor of the most nondescript (the unnamed unconventional looking) object when the second object is named. We show further that (unnamed) conventional-looking objects provide similar outcomes when juxtaposed with an unnamed unconventional object (participants prefer the most non-descript as opposed to the conventional-looking object). Nevertheless, effects emerging from the conventional (unnamed) case are not as strong as those found with respect to those reported when an unconventional object is named. In describing participants' choices in the non-random cases, we propose that addressees rely on the construction of an ad hoc implicature that takes into account which object can be eliminated from consideration, given that the speaker did not explicitly name it.

RESUMO

O conceito de denegação foi estabelecido por Freud a partir da noção de recalcamento e da clínica das neuroses - trata-se de um mecanismo específico de enlace entre negação e afirmação. Este artigo busca calcar sua originalidade, primeiramente propondo que diferentes costuras entre negação e afirmação são igualmente reincidentes nas psicoses. Nesse sentido, ressalta-se que estudos teórico-clínicos que articulam a denegação fenomenológica e estruturalmente às psicoses ainda são escassos. Tais costuras singulares, distintas da denegação estritamente freudiana, recebem aqui a grafia (de)negação. Em segundo lugar, este trabalho se pretende original por propor a (de)negação não apenas como fenômeno clínico, mas como operador em si no tratamento das psicoses, e, para tanto, sustenta essa hipótese a partir do caso clínico do adolescente aqui nomeado Luizel. Por fim, busca evidenciar a intrínseca relação entre (de)negação e esboço fantasmático no apaziguamento dos sintomas psicóticos em transferência

Le concept de dénégation a été établi par Freud à partir de la notion de refoulement et de la clinique des névroses - il s'agit d'un mécanisme spécifique d'attache entre négation et affirmation. L'article soutien son originalité, d'abord par la proposition que différentes coutures entre négation et affirmation sont également observées dans les psychoses. Dans ce sens, il indique que les études théoriques-cliniques qui articulent la dénégation, phonologiquement et structuralement, aux psychoses sont encore rares. Ces coutures singulières, distinctes de la dénégation strictement freudienne, reçoivent ici la graphie (dé)négation. Deuxièmement, le travail se prétend original pour soutenir que la (dé)négation n'est pas simplement un phénomène clinique, mais un opérateur en soi dans le traitement des psychoses. Pour ce faire, le texte soutient cette hypothèse à partir du cas clinique de l'adolescent ici nommé Luizel. Enfin, troisièmement, l'article cherche à mettre en évidence l'intrinsèque relation entre la (dé)négation et l'esquisse fantasmatique dans l'apaisement des symptômes psychotiques sous l'effet du transfert

El concepto de denegación ha sido establecido por Freud con base en la noción de represión y de la clínica de las neurosis, se trata de un mecanismo específico de enlace entre la negación y la afirmación. En un primer momento, el trabajo pretende calcar su originalidad proponiendo que diferentes vínculos entre negación y afirmación también se repiten en las psicosis. En ese sentido, se resalta que los estudios teórico-clínicos que articulan fenomenológica y estructuralmente la denegación a las psicosis todavía son escasos. Tales vínculos singulares, distintas de la denegación estrictamente freudiana, reciben aquí la grafía (de)negación. En segundo lugar, este aspira a ser original por proponer la (de)negación no solo como fenómeno clínico, sino también como operador en sí mismo en el tratamiento de las psicosis. Para eso, sostiene esa hipótesis partiendo del caso clínico del adolescente aquí nombrado Luizel. Finalmente, trata de evidenciar el intrínseco vínculo entre la (de)negación y el esbozo de relación fantasmática en la estabilización de los síntomas psicóticos en transferencia

The concept of (de)negation was set by Freud and was based on the sense of repression and the treatment of neuroses. It is a specific mechanism that connects negation and affirmation. This article aims to establish its originality by first proposing that the different tessituras of negation and affirmation are equally recurrent in psychoses. It is worth emphasizing that theoretical-clinical studies which phenomenologically and structurally articulate denegation and psychoses are still scarce. Such singular tessituras, which are different from the Freudian negation, are herein denominated (de)negation. Secondly, the originality of the current study lies on the aspect that it does not view (de)negation as merely a clinical phenomenon, but also as an operator itself in the treatment of psychoses. Thus, this hypothesis is supported by the clinical case of an adolescent herein named Luizel. Finally, the article aims to evince the intrinsic relationship between (de)negation and fantasy in appeasing the psychotic symptoms in transference

RESUMO

Interlocutors converge on names to refer to entities. For example, a speaker might refer to a novel looking object as the jellyfish and, once identified, the listener will too. The hypothesized mechanism behind such referential precedents is a subject of debate. The common ground view claims that listeners register the object as well as the identity of the speaker who coined the label. The linguistic view claims that, once established, precedents are treated by listeners like any other linguistic unit, i.e. without needing to keep track of the speaker. To test predictions from each account, we used visual-world eyetracking, which allows observations in real time, during a standard referential communication task. Participants had to select objects based on instructions from two speakers. In the critical condition, listeners sought an object with a negative reference such as not the jellyfish. We aimed to determine the extent to which listeners rely on the linguistic input, common ground or both. We found that initial interpretations were based on linguistic processing only and that common ground considerations do emerge but only after 1000 ms. Our findings support the idea that-at least temporally-linguistic processing can be isolated from common ground.

RESUMO

Parte-se da interrogação sobre o percurso lacaniano que leva à postulação do sujeito como representado entre significantes. Inicia-se pelo estudo das identificações e percorrem-se textos da obra psicanalítica que apontam a função constitutiva da falta. Tal percurso conduziu à abordagem das relações entre a negação e a constituição do sujeito. Partindo do Seminário da identificação (LACAN, 1961-62), retorna-se às considerações freudianas sobre a Verneinung (1925) e se pode considerar que a noção de existência pressupõe a ausência e, portanto, articula-se à noção de sujeito como -1 implicada na formulação lacaniana sobre o traço unário.

From Verneinung to the unary trait. This paper is based on Jacques Lacan's postulation of the subject as represented between signifiers. We start off with a study on identifications and examine texts from the psychoanalytic literature referring to the constitutive function of lack. This leads us to relate negation to the constitution of the subject. Lacan's Seminar IX, on identification (1961-62), then to Freud's article on Verneinung (1925). We then theorize that the notion of existence presupposes absence and is therefore connected to the notion of subject as -1 implicated in Lacan's formulation on the unary trait.

RESUMO

Em que medida os efeitos do desmentido (Verleugnung) podem se articular ao diagnóstico de psicopatia? Propomo-nos a trabalhar a ideia de que a psicopatia, embora seja muitas vezes considerada uma manifestação inequívoca da estrutura perversa, pode ser compreendida como um arranjo que exibe uma dinâmica que privilegia os efeitos do desmentido. Buscamos descolar, portanto, a psicopatia da estrutura perversa enquanto tal para demonstrar que o psicopata, com grande frequência e desenvoltura, encarna a verdade mentirosa, sendo extremamente hábil em impô-la. Tal suposição é facilmente ilustrável com alguns representantes do cenário político brasileiro. Desse modo, o psicopata que circula no âmbito político e institucional parece-nos especialmente interessante, havendo, em nossa articulação, um deslocamento entre o que chamamos de uma psicopatia extraordinária, comumente associada ao psicopata autor de crimes bárbaros, para o que denominamos de psicopata comum, figura fortemente atrelada ao domínio político.

Dans quelle mesure les effets de la négation (Verleugnung)peuvent être liés au diagnostic de la psychopathie? Nous proposons de travailler avec l’idée que la psychopathie, bien qu’elle soit souvent considérée comme une manifestation indubitable de la structure perverse, peut être comprise comme un arrangement quidémontre une dynamique qui privilégie les effets de la négation. Nous essayons de détacher par conséquent la psychopathie de la structure perverse pour être capable de montrer que le psychopathe, très fréquemment et avec très peu de ressources, incarne lavérité menteuse avec une notable capacité de l’imposer. Cette supposition est facilement illustré par quelques représentants du scénario politique brésilien. Dans ce contexte, le psychopathe qui circule dans la sphère politique et institutionnelle nous parait spécialement intéressant et nous faisons un effort de démontrer le déplacement de ce qu’on appelle de psychopathie extraordinaire, généralement associée aux psychopathes responsables de crimes barbares, à ce que nous nominons de psychopathe commun, image fortement lié au domaine politique.

In what extent the effects of denial (Verleugnung) can be articulated to the diagnosis of psychopathy? We propose to work with the idea that psychopathy, although it is often considered a manifestation of an unmistakable perverse structure, can be understood as an arrangement that displays dynamics that favor the effects of denial. We aim to detach, therefore, the psychopathy of the perverse structure to demonstrate that the psychopath, with great frequency and resourcefulness, embodies the truthful lie, being extremely skilled in imposing it. This assumption is easily illustrated with some representatives from the political landscape. In that way, the psychopath that circulates in the political and institutional framework seems particularly interesting, and in our effort we aim to demonstrate a displacement from what we call an extraordinary psychopathy, commonly associated with the psychopath author of barbarians crimes, for what we call common psychopathy, figure strongly linked to political field.

Esta partiria das esponjas, seres assexuados, e alcançaria ele mesmo, Raimundo, elemento único de uma espécie superior, que seria detentor de ambos os genitais, masculino e feminino. O trabalho destaca um conjunto de discussões que o relato do caso suscita. Entre elas salienta-se o interesse na questão da denegação, do corpo e da sexuação no tratamento das psicoses(AU)

Mundi-o: Considerations on a case of psychosis. This article presents Raimundo's case, highlighting his wide written production and his delusional construction involving the urologic evolution of the animal kingdom. That would start from the sponges, asexual beings, to reach Raimundo himself as the single element of a superior species that holds both genitals, male and female. The text also highlights a set of discussions that are raised as a consequence of the report. Among these discussions, the interest on the subjects of denial, of the body and sexuation in the treatment of psychosis are emphasized(AU)

RESUMO

La negación es un concepto relevante para el psicoanálisis. Suele pensarse como una reacción defensiva frente a aquello que surge desde el inconsciente y amenaza la estructura simbólica que rige sobre la consciencia. Sin embargo, la negación puede ser concebida como una operación compleja, que obedece no sólo a uno, sino a múltiples territorios simbólicos. Una lectura transversal permite conjeturar que la negación puede ser pensada no solo como condición de emergencia para lo reprimido, sino también como puntapié inicial para la producción subjetiva en sí.

A negação é um conceito importante para a psicanálise. Pode ser pensada como uma reação defensiva frente àquilo cuja emergência desde o inconsciente ameaça à estrutura simbólica que legisla sobre a consciência. A negação, no entanto, pode ser concebida como uma operação complexa que obedece não só a um, mas a múltiplos territórios simbólicos. Uma leitura transversal permite conjeturar que a negação pode ser pensada não apenas como condição de emergência para o recalcamento, mas também como ponto de partida para a produção subjetiva em si.

Denial is an important concept in psychoanalysis. It is often thought of as a defensive reaction against that which emerges from the unconscious and threatens the symbolic structure that legislates on consciousness. However, denial can be conceived as a complex operation that obeys not only one, but multiple symbolic territories. A cross-reading allows conjecturing that denial can be thought of not only as a condition for the emergence of the repressed, but also as a starting point for the production of subjectivity.

La négation est un concept de grande importance pour la psychanalyse. On peut la penser comme une réaction défensive pour faire face à ce qui surgit de l’inconscient et menace la structure symbolique qui régit la conscience. Néanmoins, la négation peut être conçue comme une opération complexe qui obéit non pas à un seul territoire, mais à plusieurs territoires symboliques. La lecture transversale permet de conjecturer que la négation peut être pensée non seulement comme condition d’émergence du refoulement, mais aussi comme point de départ pour la production subjective en soi.
