Euripides’ Phoenissae is a challenging work that is often overlooked by scholars of Greek drama. This study analyzes how the concept of autochthony occupies a central thematic concern of the play. On the one hand, autochthony unites humans to soil, political claims to myths, and present to past. On the other hand, autochthony was often invoked to exclude foreigners, women and exiles from political life at Athens. We observe a similar dichotomy in the Phoenissae. Autochthony unites the episode action–the story of the fraternal conflict—with the very different subject matter of the choral odes, which treat the founding myths of Thebes. By focalizing the lyric material through the perspective of marginalized female voices (Antigone and the chorus), Euripides is able to problematize the myths and rhetoric associated with autochthony. At the same time, Antigone’s departure with her father at the play’s close offers a transformation of autochthonous power into a positive religious entity. I suggest that a careful examination of the many facets of autochthony can inform our understanding of the Phoenissae with respect to dramatic structure, apparent Euripidean innovations, character motivation, stage direction and audience reception. / text

Au sein de la pensée de Deleuze, la poésie d'Antonin Artaud apparaît comme la ligne de fuite par excellence à partir de laquelle tout le foisonnement conceptuel deleuzien s'articule. Artaud est en effet celui qui brise l'image de la pensée – ou ce que nous voulons dire habituellement par " penser " en philosophie – en refusant son innéité et son universalité, c'est-à-dire la cogitatio natura universalis. Car pour Artaud comme pour Deleuze, le plus souvent, la pensée s'affronte à son problème véritable, qui est son impouvoir ou son impossibilité. Ainsi, la première partie de la thèse s'attaque à la compréhension de la destitution de l'image de la pensée dans Différence et répétition de Deleuze, à partir de l'idée de " génital inné " d'Artaud dans la Correspondance avec Jacques Rivière. Si l'image de la pensée ne dit rien du processus de penser, de quelle logique sommes-nous capables ? Au travers de la découverte de la logique paradoxale déployée dans les paradoxes de Logique du sens de Deleuze, il s'agira de penser le rapprochement entre Artaud et Nietzsche. L'axe principal de cette partie est la critique du jugement menée par Artaud. Enfin, jeté dans les paradoxes de la vie, la troisième partie envisage le grand impensé de la philosophie qu'est le corps : en effet, de quel corps sommes-nous capables ? L'enjeu, de l'impossibilité de penser à la question du corps - rapprochant L'Ethique de Spinoza du corps sans organes d'Artaud - est bien de renouer la pensée avec la vie, selon le projet du Gai savoir de Nietzsche et qu'Artaud ne cesse de reformuler dès ses premiers écrits. L'impossibilité de penser dit non seulement la séparation d'avec la vie, mais aussi l'impensable qu'est le corps : en effet, que dire de notre propre corps, tel que nous le vivons ? Dans quelle mesure la création de concepts en rhizome dans Mille Plateaux de Deleuze et Guattari explore-t-elle le corps sans organes d'Artaud, ce corps vécu qui reste encore mystérieux pour la pensée ? Artaud souhaitait qu'on l'aime non pas pour son œuvre mais pour sa vie, témoignant d'une grande santé contre un monde malade : l'horizon de l'impossibilité de penser est alors la pensée blessée et profonde assumant la vie elle-même dans toute son opacité. / In the thought of Deleuze, the poetry of Antonin Artaud seems like the line of convergence par excellence from which all the Deleuzian proliferation of concepts are developed. Indeed, Artaud is the person who shatters the image of thought – or what we usually mean by " thinking " in philosophy – rejecting its innateness and universality, in other words, the cogitatio natura universalis. Because, for both Artaud and Deleuze, thought is most often confronted by its real problem – its powerlessness or its impossibility. So the first part of the thesis deals with understanding the dismissal of the image of thought in Deleuze's Difference and Repetition, from Artaud's notion of " génital inné " [innate sexuality] in the Correspondence with Jacques Rivière. If the image of thought says nothing about the process of thinking, of what logic are we capable ? Through the discovery of the paradoxical logic deployed in the paradoxes in Deleuze's Logic of Sense, it is a matter of thinking about the connection between Artaud and Nietzsche. The main thrust of this section is a critique of the judgement made by Artaud. Lastly, thrown into the paradoxes of life, the third part considers the great non thought of philosophy, that is the body : indeed, of what body are we capable ? The challenge, the impossibility of thinking about the question of the body - comparing Spinoza's Ethics and Artaud's body without organs - is to reconnect thought with life, in accordance with the intention of Neitzsche's Gai saber [The Gay Science] and that Artaud did not cease to revise from his earliest writings. The impossibility of thought implies not only a separation from life, but also the unthinkable that is the body: indeed, does this mean talk of our own body as we experience it ? To what extent does the creation of a rhizome of concepts in A Thousand Plateaux by Deleuze and Guattari explore Artaud's body without organs, the body experienced that still remains mysterious for thought ? Artaud hoped that he would be loved not for his work, but for his life, testifying to a great health against a sick world: the prospect of the impossibility of thinking is then thought wounded and profound, taking on a life of its own in all its opacity.

Without intending to write a comparative paper that takes into account many psychoanalytic ways of approaching a same topic, I aim to identify aspects of Winnicott s theories, which referring to this theme, can characterize the most important differences between this author and the traditional psychoanalysis concepts. While the traditional psychoanalysis, due to the centerpiece of Oedipus and to the magnitude of the sexuality theory, the father s role was limited mostly overall to the role of an interventionist and a representative of the law, as for Winnicott, the presence of the father in involved implicated since the beginning of life, when questions concerning Oedipus Complex have no meaning whatsoever, and continues changing as the child matures. This paper confirms the thesis that the thoughts reasonings viewpoints thinkings of this author represents a new theoretical and practical foundation from which the human questions, in this case, the presence and role of the father, in the process of maturation, can be understood / Este estudo tem por objetivo explicitar a concepção de Winnicott acerca do que é requerido do pai, em termos de presença e dos diversos papéis que lhe estão reservados na criação de um filho, ao longo do processo de amadurecimento pessoal, do nascimento até o estágio do complexo de Édipo, tendo em vista um desenvolvimento saudável. Sem pretender fazer um estudo comparativo que leve em conta as várias abordagens psicanalíticas sobre essa mesma questão, viso identificar aspectos da teoria de Winnicott que, referidos a esse tema, podem caracterizar as diferenças marcantes da teoria desse autor com relação às formulações da psicanálise tradicional. Enquanto nesta última, devido à centralidade do Édipo e à primazia da teoria da sexualidade, o papel do pai ficou delimitado, sobretudo, ao de interventor e de representante da lei, em Winnicott, a presença do pai está implicada desde o início da vida, quando as questões relativas ao complexo edípico não fazem ainda nenhum sentido, e vai se alterando à medida em que o amadurecimento da criança avança. Este estudo corrobora a tese de que o pensamento desse autor representa um novo fundamento teórico e prático a partir do qual as questões humanas, no caso, a presença e a parte que cabe ao pai, no processo de amadurecimento, podem ser entendidas

本論文旨在從心理分析和女性主義的立場探討女性的母職對兩性人格發展 及其再製產生的影響，主要根據Nancy Chodorow的論述為依歸作此主題的 推演。發軔於十九世紀的女性主義經歷第一波、第二波婦運的洗禮及經濟 大蕭條、兩次世界大戰的衝擊，發展出各類因應時代變遷及婦女需求的理 論，由政權參與、經濟獨立、法律權利、婚姻自由、身體自主等議題一路 行來，歷經重重險阻，女性的母職始終是婦女排徊猶豫的十字路口，成為 今日女性主義者關注的焦點，因為它深刻地影響了女性的人格特質及兩性 關係的互動。 Chodorow以對象關係的理論基礎出發，佐以女性主義及社 會學的相關理論，融貫為其個人獨到精闢的見解。她由質疑女性母職的合 理性起始，詳細闡述女性的母職如何深植於人們的意識與潛意識之中的過 程及其對兩性人格發展及關係形成的影響。由於女性母職的排外與獨佔、 母親對兒子、女兒不同的態度，使得兩性在前伊底帕斯時期、伊底帕斯時 期的對象關係有不同的發展，其解決伊底帕斯情結的程度亦有所差異，此 導致日後兩性迴異的人格特質及感情關係。最顯著的差別是男性面對女性 時趨於防衛的態度，不善表達感情且將精力集於工作領域。女性則有在關 係中建立自我的需要，但是男性的封閉妨衛無法滿足女性的感情需求，若 轉向同性又有觸犯社會禁忌－同性戀之虞，女性惟有試圖由自己的孩子身 上尋得感情關係的滿足。由此，母子間密切的聯結再度形成，兩性的人格 特質及女性的母職便依此模式代代複製，循環不已。Chodorow認為解決之 道在於由兩性共同擔負撫育下一代的職責，使兩性孩童在均衡的親職中培 養相同的能力及平等的人格發展，以打破女性母職獨佔、再製的代代循環 ，創造嶄新、開闊的兩性關係。本篇論文共分五章。第一章為前言，第二 章介紹女性主義興發的時代背景及各主要派別的基本論述；第三章說明心 理分析派女性主義的主要論點及心理分析與女性主義二者間的牽連；第四 章闡述Chodorow對女性母職產生、再製過程及其影響的詳細推演；第五章 為結論，評析Chodorow母職再製理論的貢獻和缺失。

This is an explication of Lacan’s Seminar XVII. The introduction situates the Seminar in its time and in relation to other theories of discourse. In part one I examine the changes which it brings to a variety of ideas already known in Lacan’s oeuvre such as Jouissance, Master Signifier(s) and Oedipus. Part two looks the four discourses in detail after considering the positions common to each. I provide accounts of each discourse as taking place internally to a subject and between subjects. The coda examines areas where further research is possible, reviews and critiques some scholarship on this seminar and inquires into the use value of the discourse theory, both generally and as a means of getting beyond Lacan.

In this paper I have strived to provide a new view on a timeless classic of children’s literature, Winnie-The-Pooh. In psychoanalytic literary criticism concepts and theories of psychoanalysis is implemented while interpreting literature; in this paper, I have interpreted the novel incorporating concepts of the psychoanalytic schools of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan while arguing that the denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood are manifestations of parts of the narrator’s unconscious. The first two sections of the paper present the theories and concepts of the two major schools of psychoanalysis as an introduction aimed at increasing the readability of the interpretation. The individual interpretations of each character are then presented separately, every section in some way involving psychoanalytic theory. Kanga, Roo, Piglet, Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Owl and Eeyore are shown to be repressed memories, feelings or thoughts. Included theoretical concepts are the Oedipus complex, the sexual development of infants, the journey of children towards consciousness, Lacanian desire and lack, Freudian dream interpretation and the conception that the unconscious is structured as language, among others.

Cette recherche clinique vise à explorer le retentissement de l'hypofertilité masculine et de la fécondation in vitro (FIV) sur le fonctionnement psychique des épouses dans le premier centre de consultation FIV en Egypte (1986), en contexte culturel égyptien. Près de 60% des couples qui consultent au Centre FIV présentent le diagnostic d'infertilité d'origine masculine. Nous nous intéressons à comprendre ce qui constitue la spécificité du fonctionnement psychique de ces femmes dans ce contexte culturel où l'infertilité masculine est une pathologie taboue, suscitant la honte familiale, et où seule la FIV homologue- utilisant les gamètes d'un couple marié- est autorisée par la loi. La première hypothèse renvoie à l'existence d'une souffrance psychique chez l'épouse liée au maintien du secret de l'hypofertilité masculine. La seconde hypothèse suppose que le diagnostic et les traitements médicaux sont accompagnés chez l'épouse d'une idéalisation oedipienne de ses propres parents. Notre échantillon est composé de dix femmes âgées de 20 à 40 ans inscrites dans un protocole FIV. Sur le plan méthodologique, nous nous sommes basés sur des entretiens de recherche semi-directifs et sur l'inventaire abrégé de dépression de Beck BDI-13. L'analyse des résultats met en évidence la présence chez les épouses d'un discours de plainte adressé envers leurs conjoints, en même temps que l'expression d'une idéalisation de leurs propres parents. La présence de symptômes de dépression variables est relevée dans l'échantillon. Enfin, la manière dont les femmes s'approprient subjectivement l'expérience de la FIV est un indicateur pertinent de leur équilibre psychique. Pour conclure, cette étude se veut être une recherche-action visant à mettre en place un dispositif clinique au service des femmes et des couples dans une institution médicale, et qui soit adapté à ce contexte culturel particulier. / This study aims at exploring the impact of male subfertility and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) on the psychological functioning of a group of female spouses, in the first Egyptian IVF center in Egypt (1986), within the Egyptian cultural context. Approximately 60% of couples consulting at the Egyptian Center for IVF carry the diagnosis of male factor infertility. We are interested in understanding what constitutes the specificity of the psychological functioning of these women within this cultural context, where male infertility is a taboo pathology provoking family shame, and where only homologous IVF -using a married couple's gametes- is allowed by the law. The first hypothesis states that there is a specific female suffering related to the maintenance of the secret of male subfertility. The second hypothesis assumes that for the wife, the diagnosis disclosure and medical treatments are followed by an oedipal idealization of the her parents. Our sample is composed of ten women aged between 20 and 40 years old, and undergoing an IVF protocol. On the methodological aspect, we have used semi-structured interviews and the 13-Item Beck Depression Inventory. Results indicate the existence of a complain discourse among the wives, addressed towards their husbands, and at the same time an idealization of their own parents. Variable depression symptoms have been observed in our sample. Finally, the way women integrate psychologically the IVF experience is a relevant indicator of their psychological balance. As a conclusion, this study aims at being a research-action, which objective is to elaborate a clinical intervention at the service of women and couples, and suitable to this particular cultural context.
