Offering some reflections about identity work and psychical transmission between generations, this article observes the relationship between these two dimensions to understand the modes of psychical subjectivation, giving a central role to the paradigm of filiation.

This paper presents a theory of filiation as a dynamic shape, and argues that today’s society suffers from a difficulty living within temporality. Today’s relation with time is depicted through the prism of transhumanist theories, illustrating the idea of a present which is not deployed and a future that lacks momentum, while memory itself is “perfect.” A clinical vignette is used to show the subjective impasse of “total” recall.

Au travers d’une réflexion concernant le travail identitaire et de transmission psychique entre les générations, cet article se penche attentivement sur le rapport que ces deux dimensions entretiennent pour une compréhension des modes de subjectivation psychique en prenant le paradigme de la filiation comme un élément central.

Ce travail expose une théorie de la filiation pensée comme forme dynamique, et fait le diagnostic d’une souffrance contemporaine à habiter la temporalité. Le rapport actuel au temps est saisi à travers le prisme des théories transhumanistes, afin d’illustrer l’idée d’un présent qui ne se déploie pas, et d’un futur peu investi par l’élan vital, quand bien même la mémoire serait « parfaite ». Une vignette clinique donne à comprendre l’impasse subjective d’une mémoire « totale ».

After reviewing the different axes of filiation according to J. Guyotat, with which the narrative axis may be associated (B. Golse, M. R. Moro), and relocating the issue of psychical bisexuality with regard to the precursors of sexual differentiation, this article will offer some reflections and clinical illustrations of adolescents’ aggression as it relates to identity and narrative filiation on the one hand, and the psychical bisexuality of adoptive parents on the other.

Après avoir rappelé les différents axes de la filiation selon J. Guyotat, auxquels peut désormais s’adjoindre l’axe narratif (B. Golse, M. R. Moro), et après avoir resitué la question de la bisexualité psychique au regard des précurseurs de la différence des sexes, ce travail propose quelques réflexions et illustrations cliniques quant à l’agressivité des adolescents en lien avec l’identité et la filiation narrative d’une part, et avec la bisexualité psychique des parents adoptifs d’autre part.

The situations of unaccompanied foreign minors are a paradigm for the difficulties that professionals may face when parents are absent. Clinical work requires precisely that the parents be made to exist in the narrative, based on the adolescent’s capacity to narrate himself, in order to construct an adolescence that is mixed, between two worlds. We illustrate this through two clinical vignettes drawn from individual consultations in a Maison des Adolescents, in the presence of an interpreter.

Les situations des mineurs isolés étrangers sont paradigmatiques des difficultés que les professionnels peuvent traverser lorsque les parents sont absents. Le travail clinique requiert précisément de faire exister les parents dans le récit, en nous basant sur la capacité du jeune à se narrer pour construire une adolescence métissée entre deux mondes. Nous illustrons ces propos par deux vignettes cliniques issues de consultations individuelles dans une Maison des Adolescents, en présence d’un interprète.

As a jurist, the author investigates the notion of parenting with regard to that of parenthood. The bond of parenthood, whether through blood or adoption, allows a person to be attached to his family, to be named with reference to this family, and to situate himself within it. It carries out the subject’s genealogical inscription. Parenting takes into account parental competence and tends to combine parenthood and parental authority. It cannot be analyzed as a component of a legal bond. But when jurists use this notion to satisfy the expectations of those who want to play a recognized role of father and mother with regard to the child, or to call into question defective parents, the concept of parenting leads to the weakening of parenthood. The jurist can only deplore this decline in rights.

»Taking a research on wine representations among young adults as a starting point, we have envisaged the question of filiation and the paternal function within a trans-generational dynamic. After having conducted clinical interviews where the sole instruction was : Tell us your personal story about wine «, we discovered that people associate the signifier « wine « with unexpected issues. Thinking about wine very often means thinking about the father, and also of the mother. The case of Lucien will show how, through the play of the transference, the clinical research interview was able to enable the subject put a traumatic domestic history into words.»
