"O que me interpela é se eu continuar a viver": o sujeito entre rupturas e tecituras na clínica das urgências subjetivas

Abstract

The concerns that led to the construction of this research stemmed from the researcher's clinical experience in a hospital setting with subjects who experienced urgency situations. In psychoanalytic theory, an urgency is conceived as an index of the irruption of the real, a cut in subjective experience in which the psychic resources used to circumvent anguish are absent, so that the subject is precipitated into abrupt exits. The general aim of this work is to investigate the symptom as a singular construction in the process of subjectivation of urgency. To this end, we used four main concepts to support the research: urgency, anguish, logical time and symptom. This is a qualitative, exploratory study in which a clinical case was constructed via writing, a method of research in psychoanalysis that makes it possible to witness and transmit a singular invention in order to deal with impasses in the face of the impossible real in the practice of psychoanalysis. The case that made up this research was followed by the researcher in a public hospital in Salvador, Bahia, during her experience as a psychology resident. As this is a retrospective study, we used documentary records produced in a field diary. We discuss the articulation between clinic and clinamen, which introduces the dimension of contingency by establishing an impasse in psychoanalytic praxis and theory, a point at which the theme of subjective urgencies and the clinical case construction method are intertwined. The results point to a temporal precipitation in the urgency which, on the one hand, produces a short circuit between the moment of seeing and the moment of concluding and, on the other hand, elevates an enunciation to the status of an event, through which the subject comes into being, when mediated by a way of addressing. In this context, the symptom in its enigma dimension can function as an enunciative act, a signifying anchor that enables a subjectivization of urgency, so that it becomes a question for the subject itself. We situate a po-ethics of psychoanalysis, by giving place to the remains and fragments extracted from the experience with the unconscious, so that there is something singularly unpostponable to be circumscribed in a subjective urgency. In this way, this work contributes to the theorization on the processes of subjectivation of urgency, to the transmission of the singularizing effects of the psychoanalytic clinic and to the discussion on the theoretical-clinical and methodological bases of research in psychoanalysis.
