Understanding the Work of G. Civitarese
This essay surveys the work of Italian psychoanalyst Giuseppe Civitarese, one of the foremost figures of post-Bionian field theory. Drawing on his major publications — from The Violence of Emotions to Psychoanalytic Field Theory: A Contemporary Introduction — it traces his creative rereading of Bion, his collaboration with Antonino Ferro, and the conceptual axes that distinguish his contribution: the dream spectrum of the session, the aesthetic dimension of analytic experience, and a radical intersubjectivity that redefines the analytic field as a shared space of unconscious dreaming. The essay concludes with a dialectical examination of the constitutive tensions and open questions his work raises.
You are Write !
Inspired by W.R. Bion's "A Memoir of the Future," this polyphonic dialogue interrogates the status of writing in the algorithmic era. Drawing on psychoanalysis (Freud, Bion), deconstruction (Derrida), and the concept of kulturarbeit, it explores the blog as khôra: a receptacle that engenders without repeating. What does it mean to write when the epoch systematically demands the quantifiable in order to exist within algorithms? An inchoative echo of thought at its inception.
