Program

FOR A SUBJECT CLINIC
The course aims to investigate some aspects of the notion of the "subject" as a subject involved in a care relationship. In particular, the focus will be on the notion of "subjectivation" as a procedural and collective dimension necessary for any clinical and philosophical practice. To this end, authorial references from different traditions of thought will be used, which have similarly questioned the relationship between clinical dimension and subject theory. Special attention will also be dedicated to the notion of the "unconscious" as the ethical space of the relationship and the point of germination of desire.
