The frequency of military engagement of adolescents in genocide raises the question of a possible parallel between the processes involved in war and those mobilized in adolescence. This leads to the question of the possible resonance between individual psychical processes and social processes, along the lines of what Freud introduced in Civilization and Its Discontents. Here the intersection of processes would occur around the act as a substitute for a failure of trans-generational transmission in childhood, either within the family or within the social milieu.

Olivier Ouvry : the « we » and the appearance of the subject
Starting with the question of adolescent subjects’ engagement in psychotherapeutic work, we will investigate the passage from preliminary interviews to those wherein effective work is done, through two dialectical points: the intervention of a third instance in the apparent duality of the psychotherapeutic interview, and the passage from « one » to « we » in the patient’s language, grammatically careless, but which we have found to signify the appearance of the subject.
Olivier Ouvry : the street as a counter-phobic object
The purpose of this article is to explore the street as a space for the adolescent’s possible confrontation with the newness of the pubertaire, in terms of radical alterity and possible encounter. This will lead us to develop the dialectic between the intra-psychical world of the adolescent, confronted with the effects of the inaugural real of the pubertaire, and the world of the social, as a place for the possible figuration of this real by the encounter with other of the Other sex. Here we will revisit the dialectical issues of theoretical perspectives developed by the revue Adolescence (Philippe Gutton) and those argued by le Bachelier (Jean-Jacques Rassial), moving from an intra-psychical and intra-familial reference to that of the social as a place for the constitution of the adolescent symptôme.
Olivier Ouvry : orlan, carnal art
Orlan, carnal art, film of Stephan Oriach, depicts transformations in the artists own body. It is a discourse on art in place of that of science. The goal is to use technology to reduce the gap between what one is and what one has. The body is a tool for saying what one wants. It is a matter of subverting, in a dimension of transgrassion of criteria and social stereotypes, the notion of appearance in order to bring it down. The violence of this exhibition questions the place of the spectators who are invited to a live performance of this act.
Olivier Ouvry : the enigma of the feminine for the woman
Through clinical examples, the author approaches the issue of the Feminine in women. The question of “ what is “the” woman ? ”, a classic with men, turns out to be shared by member both sexes, especially by women who are find themselves in a masculine subjective sexual position.
A parallel between the four positions defined by the crossing of the two sexual subjective positions with the two anatomical sexes, and the four discourses defined by J. Lacan is attempted at the end of the article to show how nothing can be said about the position of the woman.
Eric Bidaud, Olivier Ouvry : adolescence, clothing and visage-ification
Because the Ego can only be projected image of the subject through its multiple representation, its various “ garments ” it can only be imaginarily sustained by the Other, the Other’s gaze. Clothing and its problematization in adolescence are a way of grasping oneself back from the Other’s gaze, in a renewed quest (like an after effect of the mirror stage) for approval and confirmation of one’s image from the Other. In this way the adolescent’s relationship with clothing may be perceived as a necessary phase when gazes are recombined in order to construct what we call a visage, within the difficult meeting of these gazes. Thus we propose that clothing be thought of as the place of a process of visage-ification affecting subject and object, a process through which the meeting of gazes is played out again and put into dialectical form.
Olivier Ouvry : desire for clinical work
By attempting to clarify the terms paranoid and paranoia in adolescence, we propose to show how a logical approach, introduced by the structural approach, may be articulated with the very movement of the adolescent process. This centers on notion of the « empty box », as it may be encountered in conceptions of the Feminine and the pubertary real.
The theoretical principles of structuralism, the analytical theorization of the pubertary process and psychiatric nosology will be discussed, with the aim, beyond its apparent complexity, of articulating a set of elements that could make them intelligible to one another.

Olivier Ouvry : le “ nous ” et l’avènement du sujet
À partir de la question de l’engagement dans un travail psychothérapique de sujets adolescents, nous interrogeons le passage des entretiens préliminaires à ceux où un travail effectif a lieu, à travers deux points dialectisés : l’intervention d’une tiercéisation dans la relation apparemment duelle de l’entretien psychothérapique, et le passage du “ on ” au “ nous ” dans le langage du patient, négligé grammaticalement, retenu par nous comme significatif de l’avènement du sujet.
Olivier Ouvry : la rue comme objet contra-phobique
Le propos de cet article est d’explorer la rue comme espace de confrontation possible pour l’adolescent à la nouveauté pubertaire, en terme d’altérité radicale et de rencontre possible. Ceci nous conduira à développer la dialectique entre le monde intra-psychique de l’adolescent, confronté aux effets du réel pubertaire inaugural, et celui du social, en tant que lieu de figuration possible de ce réel par la rencontre de l’autre de l’Autre sexe. Nous reprendrons ainsi les enjeux dialectiques des perspectives théoriques développées par la revue Adolescence (Philippe Gutton) et celles avancées par le Bachelier (Jean-Jacques Rassial), passant d’une référence intrapsychique et intrafamiliale, à celle du social en tant que lieu de constitution du symptôme adolescent.
Olivier Ouvry : Orlan, carnal art
Orlan, carnal art, film de Stephan Oriach, met en scène les transformations du corps même de l’artiste. Discours de l’art en lieu et place de celui de la science. Le but est de se servir de la technologie pour réduire l’écart entre ce que l’on est et ce que l’on a. Le corps est un outil pour dire ce que l’on veut. Il s’agit de subvertir, dans une dimension de transgression des critères et des stéréotypes sociaux, la notion d’apparence pour la laisser choir. La violence de cette exhibition interroge la place des spectateurs conviés à assister en direct à l’acte
