Dans l’histoire de la construction philosophique de l’individualité, le système stoïcien, le plus unitaire et déterministe qui soit, semblait en principe être le moins susceptible d’engendrer une conception forte de l’individu. Celle-ci suppose en effet une séparation qui, dans le cas de l’individualité humaine, s’incarne dans une « volonté » propre. Or pour les Stoïciens, chaque être concourant inexorablement comme partie du tout à l’unité organique du monde, il paraissait difficile de l'en dégager, même en tenant compte de l’autonomie proclamée de l’assentiment, principe de jugement et d’action. Notre recherche espère montrer que c’est pourtant la philosophie stoïcienne qui construit une combinatoire conceptuelle inédite qui n’avait jamais été jusque-là à ce point unifiée et qui en vertu de la nature systématique de cette pensée conduit de l’unicité qu’elle reconnaît à tout être, ancrée dans un corps, à la personnalité qui réalise cette unicité au niveau de l’éthique, du fait d’une capacité subjective qui n’est plus non seulement quelque chose de l’individu mais ce à quoi il s’identifie, son principe d’identité personnelle. Nous nous attachons à mettre en évidence les conditions qui ont rendu possible ce « surgissement » de l’individu à la faveur d’une série de mutations internes au système stoïcien mais aussi d’une mutation politique et culturelle majeure, celle que constitua l’Empire romain. A travers ces mutations, la physique stoïcienne de l’identité, sous-bassement de la conception stoïcienne de l’individu, produit diachroniquement et synchroniquement, dans le champ de la psychologie et de l’éthique, une véritable conception de la subjectivation avec la notion sénéquienne de voluntas et le concept épictétéen de prohairesis qui en viennent à occuper la centralité dévolue au destin dans le premier stoïcisme. Par-delà la singularité des apports sénéquien et épictétéen, la voluntas et la prohairesis font de la faculté de choix le principe d’identité personnelle : l’identité personnelle est décrite comme celle du sens que nous décidons de donner à notre existence qui définit celle ou celui que nous sommes en propre et qui autorise et façonne la plasticité d’un usage de soi qui réside exclusivement en nous. Les usages stoïciens de la métaphore théâtrale permettent enfin d’éclairer cette conception de la subjectivité sous un jour irréductible : ils déploient chacun à leur manière la dialectique de la distance et de l’engagement au cœur du rapport à l’existence, et, avec eux, la non- coïncidence constitutive du rapport à soi qui situe l’identité dans l’entre-deux d’un rapport d’identification toujours à rejouer. / The Stoics, who elaborated the most coherent deterministic system in the history of philosophy, seemed unlikely to produce a concept of the individual. Such a concept is necessarily founded on separateness and implies personal agency. And although the Stoics insisted on the autonomy of assent as a principle of judgement and of action, they believed that each being contributed to the organic whole of the cosmos, making it difficult to consider beings separately from that whole. This inquiry seeks to show that the Stoics nevertheless elaborated a previously unexamined complex of notions that - as a result of the systematic nature of the Stoic thought - moved from the idea of uniqueness of all beings, to personality, which achieves uniqueness on an ethical level. Personality requires agency, which is not of the individual, but is instead that with which the individual is identified. It is the principle of personal identity. We will examine the conditions that enabled the “emergence” of the individual thanks to a series of transformations in the Stoic system as well as another major political and cultural transformation, the constitution of the Roman Empire. As a result of these changes, the Stoics’ conception of the individual, founded on their physical conception of identity, produced - diachronically and synchronically - a notion of both psychological and ethical subjectivation. Seneca’s notion of voluntas and Epictetus’s concept of prohairesis came to occupy the central position once held by fate for the early Stoics. Both these contributions were highly original, but voluntas and prohairesis further identified the principle of personal identity with the faculty of choice: personal identity was described as the meaning we decide to give our lives, defining who we are. It conditions our adaptability and shapes the way we make use of what is irreducibly ours. The Stoics’ use of the actor metaphor sheds light on the nature of subjectivity since it foregrounds the gap between the actor and his role. The dialectic between disengagement and commitment that is at the heart of the relationship to existence, and the consequent discrepancy in the relationship to oneself, leaves identity in the entre-deux of a continually renewed attempt at identification.

La greffe repose sur le don d’un organe qui, dans le cadre du don cadavérique, est issu d’un donateur qui n’a pas la conscience de donner. Le donneur et le receveur ne se connaitront jamais, et ce don prend le sens d’une réduction à la donation. Tout se passe comme si le donateur redonnait une chose dont il n’était pas propriétaire ; ce procès prend dès lors la forme d’un sacrifice ou redondance du don, au sens où celui qui a reçu redonne à son tour et sans retour. Il illustre également le concept d’hospitalité qui peut être mobilisé autant par le greffé, que par le soignant. Durant cet intervalle requis par la greffe, au sein de ce rituel symbolique et technique, le greffé est soumis à une réalité chaotique inconcevable et imprévisible. Ainsi, le mot peut manquer et l’écriture, par exemple, peut pallier cette carence, sous la forme d’ateliers ; expérience qui fut menée durant cette recherche et qui sera poursuivie. Sans s’opposer à la démarche des ateliers et outre l’avantage d’une mise en œuvre plus simple, le récit narratif s’est imposé pour trois raisons. - C’est une forme d’action, la plus élémentaire, la première possible après une longue période où toute action était devenue improbable. - C’est une façon de donner une cohérence au parcours subi et, même s’il s’agit d’une construction narrative, celle-ci participe à l’individuation du greffé, condition préalable pour envisager de nouvelles actions. - Enfin, ce récit peut être restitué au médecin qui a vécu l’acte de greffer, contrairement au malade. L’hypothèse est que cette hospitalité faite au récit permet d’une part, de renverser le schéma habituel – le soignant est dans la position de celui qui reçoit, non de celui qui donne –, d’autre part, de donner crédit au récit. Et, de proposer que la phase de réhabilitation, en rapport avec les actes thérapeutiques lourds, débute par ce type de récit où le malade parle et le soignant écoute, sans autre finalité, pour ce dernier, que d’accepter et de recevoir. / The transplant bases of the donation of an organ which, within the framework of the deathly donation, arises from a donor who is not conscious to give. The donor and recipient will never know each other, and this donation takes the senses of a reduction in the donation. It’s as if the donor gave a thing which he didn’t own ; this process takes from then on the form of a sacrifice or a redundancy of the donation, meaning that the one who received becomes the one to give, with no return expectations. It also illustrates the concept of hospitality which can be mobilized by the transplanted and the caregiver. During this interval required by the transplant, within this symbolic and technical rite, the transplante is subjected to an inconceivable and unpredictable chaotic reality.The transplanted can be wordless, and the writing, for example, can mitigate this deficiency, in the form of workshops. Such an experience was carried out during this research and will be pursued.Without opposing the approach of workshops and besides the advantage of a simpler implementation, the narrative was imperative for three reasons :- it is the first possible form of action after a long period of inactivity.- It helps the transplanted to give a coherence to the tranplantation. Even if it is narrative construction, it participates in the individuation of the transplanted, a precondition to envisage new actions.- Finally, this narrative can be restored to the doctor who experienced the act to tranplant, contrary to the sick person. The hypothesis is that this hospitality made for the narrative allows on one hand, to reverse the ususal plan – the caregiver is in the position of the one who receives, not of the one who gives - , on the other hand, to give credit to the narrative.And, to propose that the rehabilitation phase, related to the heavy therapeutic acts, begins with this type of narrative where the sick person speaks and the caregiver listen to, without no other purpose, for the latter, than to accept and receive.

Cette recherche est centrée sur la pensée du philosophe français Gilbert Simondon. Nous explorons la possibilité ouverte par Simondon d’articuler un monisme ontogénétique avec un pluralisme ontologique, c'est-à-dire l'idée qu’il est possible d'apprécier une continuité entre les différentes dimensions du réel -physique, biologique, psycho-collective- sans nier leur pluralité intrinsèque. Dans la première partie, nous étudions la relation entre la matière inerte et les êtres vivants à travers de la rencontre entre la philosophie simondonienne de l'individuation et la thermodynamique du non-équilibre d’Ilya Prigogine. La conception de Simondon est présentée comme un moyen approprié pour surmonter la division ontologique entre la matière et la vie. Toutefois, l'accent mis sur la cristallisation comme l'exemple paradigmatique de l'individuation physique révèle certaines limites pour mener à bien ce projet qui peuvent être surmontées par le concept d'une auto-organisation de la matière que l'on trouve dans la thermodynamique du non-équilibre. Dans la deuxième partie, nous proposons une interprétation des principaux points de la métaphysique de Simondon. Nous suivons la lecture de Deleuze où la philosophie de Simondon apparaît comme une transformation du concept kantien du transcendantal. Ensuite, nous défendons une interprétation selon laquelle la pensée de Simondon est une forme de réalisme processuel et relationnel. Enfin, la philosophie simondonienne est confrontée au tournant spéculatif de la philosophie actuelle, en particulier au matérialisme spéculatif de Quentin Meillassoux et à la philosophie orientée aux objets de Graham Harman. / This research is focused on the thought of the French philosopher Gilbert Simondon. We explore the possibility opened by Simondon to articulate an ontogenetic monism with an ontological pluralism, that is, the idea that it is possible to appreciate a continuity between the different dimensions of the real -physical, biological, psycho-collective-without denying their intrinsic plurality. In the first part, we study the relation between inert matter and living beings through the encounter between Simondon’s philosophy of individuation and Ilya Prigogine’s non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Simondon’s conception is shown as a suitable way to overcome the ontological division between matter and life. However, his focus on crystallization as the paradigmatic example of physical individuation reveal certain limitations to carry out this project which can be overcome through the concept of self-organization of matter that we find in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In the second part, we offer an interpretation of the main points of Simondon’s metaphysics. We follow Deleuze's reading in which Simondon's philosophy appears as a transformation of Kant's concept of the transcendental. Then, we defend an interpretation according to which Simondon’s thought is a form of process-relational realism. Finally, we confront Simondonian philosophy with the speculative turn of contemporary philosophy, especially with Quentin Meillassoux’s speculative materialism and Graham Harman’s object-oriented philosophy. / La presente investigación gira en torno al pensamiento del filósofo francés Gilbert Simondon. Exploramos la posibilidad que abre Simondon para articular un monismo ontogenético con un pluralismo ontológico, esto es, la idea según la cual es posible apreciar una continuidad entre las diferentes dimensiones de lo real -física, biológica, psíquico-colectiva- sin negar por ello su pluralidad intrínseca. En la primera parte, realizamos un estudio de la relación entre materia inerte y seres vivos por medio del encuentro entre la filosofía simondoniana de la individuación y la termodinámica del no-equilibrio desarrollada por Ilya Prigogine. La concepción de Simondon se muestra como una vía apropiada para superar la división ontológica entre materia y vida. Sin embargo, su focalización en la cristalización como ejemplo paradigmático de individuación física revela ciertas limitaciones para llevar a cabo este proyecto, las cuales pueden ser superadas por medio del concepto de una auto-organización de la materia presente en la termodinámica del no-equilibrio. En la segunda parte, realizamos una interpretación de los principales puntos de la metafísica de Simondon. Seguimos la lectura deleuziana en la cual la filosofía de Simondon aparece como una transformación del concepto kantiano de lo trascendental. A continuación, defendemos una interpretación según la cual el pensamiento de Simondon constituye una forma de realismo procesual-relacional.

Le champ professionnel de l'action sociale et médico-sociale (établissements, services, équipes de travail, professionnels..) est confronté à une nouvelle rationalisation de ses processus pratiques et de ses technologies intellectuelles, notamment sous l'impact de la loi de refondation de janvier 2002 qui impose de nouveaux outils communicationnels. Cette thèse mesure l'impact des dispositifs sociotechniques d'information et de communication garantissant les droits et la participation des usagers dans les établissements et services sociaux et médico-sociaux. Les rapports d'usage que génèrent ces dispositifs provoquent une recomposition des catégories d'usagers, un basculement des postures professionnelles et une recomposition des formes organisationnelles. A partir des approches philosophiques du rapport entre forme, matière et énergie, la construction d'un modèle théorique d'analyse s'appuie sur les phénomènes de transduction qui configurent les objets techniques et les acteurs, sur une archéologie des techniques et une anthropologie des usages. L'analyse du matériel de recherche (tant les dispositifs mis en oeuvre que les expressions des acteurs à travers différents médias) permet de faire émerger la question du pouvoir comme un élément central du rapport d'usage et met en lumière les jeux de représentations qui structurent le rapport technique et ses évolutions. Au-delà du rapport d'usage, dans un champ d'activité fortement structuré par des normes de droit, de plus en plus influencé par la logique de marché et continuant à se fonder sur des références éthiques, apparaît l'hypothèse qu'une nouvelle « norme d'usage » émerge et se place en surplomb des autres champs normatifs

O objetivo desta dissertação é propor contribuições para a orientação de carreira de pessoas na metanoia. Fruto de uma pesquisa qualitativa, aproxima elementos da psicologia analítica e da psicologia das carreiras quando abordam o desenvolvimento humano. Foram feitas reflexões sobre a orientação de carreira na transição da metanoia, apoiadas na articulação da experiência profissional da pesquisadora e dos achados do levantamento bibliográfico, que recortou da abordagem junguiana algumas visões de desenvolvimento, assim como as visões de dois autores desenvolvimentistas da psicologia das carreiras, Schein e Super. Revelou-se que tanto a psicologia analítica quanto a orientação profissional e de carreira consideram a metanoia como um período crítico no desenvolvimento, que afeta e é afetado pela família, pelos relacionamentos amorosos e pela carreira. A transição da metanoia demanda transformações psíquicas, com destaque para os potenciais criativos da persona e da sombra, surgindo como grande oportunidade de desenvolvimento na vida adulta. Esta dissertação destaca as polaridades em evidência nessa transição. Ao final, alguns motivos que levam as pessoas a procurar orientação de carreira na transição da metanoia são discutidos e a importância de um diagnóstico cuidadoso e da formação do profissional que atende em orientação de carreira são reforçados / The main goal of this dissertation is to suggest contributions for career development of people in metanoia transition. This piece is the result of a qualitative research, that approaches analytical psychotherapy and career psychology concepts of human development. Several observations on career development were made, which were supported by the reseacher\'s professional experience and by excerpts from specialized bibliography, that highlighted some thoughts about development from analytycal psychology authors and career psychology authors. The result shows that both the analytical phychology and the career psychology consider metanoia as a critical period in adult life, that affects and is affected by the family, by love relationships and by career. Metanoia transition demands important psychological transformations, specially evocating persona and shadow creatives potencials. It is a great opportunity of development during adulthood. This dissertation also highlights the polarities that claim for major transformation during metanoia transition. It also lists several reasons that lead people look for help in career development during metanoia transition and raises a discussion about the importance of a careful diagnosis and the professional education on carreer development

A presente dissertação resulta de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório e objetiva contribuir para a apropriação, no âmbito da ciência geográfica, dos recentes esforços de resgate da dimensão ontológica da obra de K. Marx (1818-1883), destacando a compreensão radical e crítica do processo de individuação, que vai à raiz, buscando sua gênese e necessidade social. Explora, assim, as obras em que Marx, buscando sua autocompreensão, institui um pensamento próprio e os fundamentos de um estatuto ontológico. Desse modo, associa-se ao movimento de crítica da tradição geográfica, que se caracteriza especialmente pela apropriação do pensamento marxista, e com ele buscou estabelecer, permanentemente, pontos de intersecção, diálogos e críticas, bem como com as próprias matrizes clássicas da ciência geográfica ressaltando a apreensão da hegemonia, e suas consequências, do viés epistemológico no movimento de renovação crítica da disciplina e a problematização da categoria de complexo geográfico, associando-a à noção do ser social como um complexo de complexos. Por fim, explora categorias concernentes à geografia do processo de individuação em sua historicidade e contraditoriedade, identificando as relações entre os diferentes complexos geográficos (rurais e urbanos) e suas configurações territoriais (em especial a relação entre campo e cidade) com os distintos tipos de individualidade humano-social emergentes nesse processo. Evidencia, de um lado, a conexão entre as sociabilidades em que predominam o meio natural e complexos geográficos rurais com uma individualidade que tem como meta e limite a reprodução dos pressupostos dados. De outro, discute a relação da individualidade moderna com o meio geográfico urbano e mundial que com ela se configura, sob o signo da exterioridade e oposição. Aponta e problematiza, ainda, os fundamentos ontológicos da concepção de homem presente na obra de F. Ratzel (1844- 1904), tomado como representante das matrizes clássicas da ciência geográfica e expressão fenomênica da individualidade moderna, na medida em que representa os indivíduos cindidos em relação ao gênero humano e, por conseguinte, ao meio geográfico. / This dissertation aims to contribute to the appropriation, within the realm of contemporary geography, of the recent efforts to rescue the ontological character of Marx´s work, highlighting the radical and critical understanding of the individuation process, which goes to the roots, seeking its genesis and social need. It explores, especially, the works in which Marx, seeking his self-understanding, established his own thought and the foundations of an ontological statute. It is associated thus to the critical movement of the geographical tradition, which is characterized especially by the appropriation of Marxist thought, and with this movement it sought permanently to establish points of intersection, dialogue and criticism, as well as with the classical matrices of geographical science. Highlighting the hegemony of the epistemological bias in the movement of the discipline´s critical renewal, and its consequences, and the discussion of the geographical complex category, associating it to the notion of social being as a complex of complexes. Finally, explores categories concerning to the geography of the individuation, in its historicity and contradictoriness process, identifying relationships between different geographical complexes (rural and urban) and their territorial settings (especially the relationship between country and city) with different types of emerging human-social individuality in the process. Shows on the one hand, the connection between the sociability that predominate the natural environment and rural geographic complexes with an individuality that aims and limit the reproduction of assumptions. Another discusses the relationship of modern individuality with urban and global geographical environment with which it is set, under the sign of externality and opposition. Points and discussing the ontological foundations of the mans conception in F. Ratzels (1844-1904) work, taken as representative of the classical matrices of geographical science and phenomenal expression of modern individuality.

Therefore, the jungian concepts and systemic approach have been used as base to analyze fictitious experiences shown by the movies in three stories: The Wedding Date , In her Shoes and Mystic Pizza . The methodological choice has been made based on theoretical verification that relationship among female siblings brings up several feelings and members of sisterhood tend to guard themselves or attack each other on their speeches, but the authors tend to be more authentic regarding their feelings in their work compared to biographies. In this analysis, it has been verified that this unique bond provides better conditions for the shadow to act out, but it depends on the ego´s structure which allows a better or worse shadow integration, fostering family and sibling´s pattern changes, or keeping up with rooted patterns / Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a vivência sombria no vínculo fraterno feminino, observando ainda a importância da irmã no processo de individuação da mulher. Para isso utilizou-se do referencial teórico junguiano e da abordagem sistêmica, buscando aproximações através da análise de vivências ficcionais trazidas pelo cinema em três filmes: Muito Bem Acompanhada , Em seu Lugar e Três Mulheres, Três Amores . A escolha da metodologia deu-se pela constatação teórica de que a relação entre irmãs suscita muitos afetos e que os membros da fratria tendem a resguardar-se ou atacar-se em relatos, mas nas obras culturais, os autores tendem a atribuir a seus personagens grande autenticidade de afetos, mais que em biografias. Verificou-se na análise que o vínculo diferenciado dá sustentação para a atuação da sombra, mas que é a estrutura de ego que permite ou não maior ou menor integração da sombra, promovendo mudanças de papéis familiares e na fratria, ou levando à perpetuação dos padrões arraigados

It focuses on how fathers comprehend the meaning of widowhood and how it can interfere with the individuation process in light of Analytical Psychology. Qualitative interviews were conducted with three widowed men between the ages of 30 to 56. In these interviews, the impact of widowhood on the relationship between the fathers and their children were examined; specifically how their lives changed since the death of their wives/mothers respectively. The mourning process influenced how these fathers function. The results suggest that the typical experience of these fathers is that they are living in extreme conditions, where they are solely responsible for their children. These widowers with children live in different states than other fathers whose wives have not died. These states develop in adverse conditions marked by the absence of a female figure. At the same time, they show potential and opportunities for reconnection with shadow contents that have been neglected and with the anima announcing new ways and possibilities in the individuation process. The understanding of how to be a father in widowhood can be seen as a situation of psychic vulnerability caused by loss, and transformation of the self-image caused by single parenthood. It is an unusual experience that allows the construction of their own ways of being themselves and with their children / O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar as transformações psíquicas ocorridas no exercício da paternidade no processo de viuvez, bem como compreender os significados da viuvez para o homem que é pai e como ela pode interferir no processo de individuação, à luz da Psicologia Analítica. A partir das entrevistas de natureza qualitativa e desenhos realizados com três participantes adultos, com idade entre 30 e 56 anos, foram retratadas as condições de relacionamento com os filhos e a viuvez e as particularidades das características valorizadas para a nova vivência que se impõe, a paternidade singular. As condições enfrentadas pelo processo de luto influenciam a constituição do homem como pai e o desenvolvimento de seu modo de agir e exercer a função paterna. Os resultados sugerem que as experiências típicas da paternidade são vividas em condições extremas, onde ele é o único responsável pelos filhos. Estes pais viúvos vivenciam estados diferenciados dos comumente vividos e se desenvolvem em condições adversas, marcadas pela ausência da companheira e da figura feminina. Ao mesmo tempo, demonstram potencialidades a serem descobertas e oportunidades de reconexão com conteúdos sombrios, até o momento negligenciados e com a anima, anunciando novos caminhos e novas possibilidades em seu processo de individuação. A compreensão do modo de ser pai na viuvez, pode ser vista como situação de vulnerabilidade psíquica ocasionada pela perda, e de transformação da autoimagem ocasionada pela paternidade singular. Trata-se de uma experiência inusual, que permite a construção de modos próprios de ser consigo mesmo e com os filhos

This work has a theoretical nature and is based on the bibliographical review of the work of Carl Gustav Jung and on the review of articles and books dealing with the theme of freedom. In the literature, from the writings of C.G. Jung on freedom and, later, in the studies of Jungians and post-Jungians on the subject, four categories were identified: Liberty, morality and ethics; Consciousness, complex, unconscious and freedom; Collective consciousness and psychic massification; Individuation process, Self and freedom. The analysis and discussion of the findings suggest that freedom is an important phenomenon for the psychic life, requires responsibility and means taking the direction of one's own actions. Its opposite, defensive freedom, seems to be an escape from responsibility. However, it is not possible to affirm that there is full free will, because unconscious instances, at individual and collective levels, are, at all times, pressing the conscience due to its autonomous functioning. However, the unconscious, as well as collective and group processes can open up a range of possibilities for freedom. The individuation process is a gradual path towards freedom, giving the individual greater awareness of unconscious processes and dynamics of the collective consciousness, and favoring choices that are more conscious and free of determinations, even though in this process the individual needs to make sacrifices. These conclusions point to the clinical importance of the topic / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo levantar os aspectos que compõem o conceito de liberdade sob o olhar da Psicologia Analítica, apresentando uma reflexão sobre a liberdade e seus limites no campo psíquico, sobre a autonomia e a dependência e sobre a importância da liberdade para o processo de individuação. Este trabalho tem um caráter teórico, tendo sido realizado a partir da revisão bibliográfica da obra de Carl Gustav Jung e da varredura de artigos e livros que tratam da temática liberdade. Na literatura, a partir dos escritos de C. G. Jung sobre liberdade e, posteriormente, nos estudos de junguianos e pós-junguianos sobre o tema, foram identificadas quatro categorias: Liberdade, moral e ética; Consciência, complexos, inconsciente e liberdade; Consciência coletiva e massificação psíquica; Processo de individuação, Self (si-mesmo) e liberdade. A análise e discussão dos dados levantados sugerem que a liberdade é um fenômeno importante para a vida psíquica, exige responsabilidade e significa tomar para si a direção dos próprios atos. Seu oposto, a liberdade defensiva, parece ser a fuga da responsabilidade. Entretanto, não é possível afirmar que exista o pleno livre arbítrio, pois instâncias inconscientes, nos níveis individual e coletivo, estão, a todo o momento, pressionando a consciência em razão de seu funcionamento autônomo. No entanto, o inconsciente, assim como os processos coletivos e grupais, pode abrir um leque de possibilidades em prol da liberdade. O processo de individuação é um caminho gradual rumo à liberdade, proporcionando ao indivíduo maior consciência dos processos inconscientes e dos dinamismos da consciência coletiva e favorecendo escolhas mais conscientes e mais livres das determinações, mesmo que, nesse processo, o indivíduo necessite realizar sacrifícios. Essas conclusões remetem à importância clínica do tema
