Eu sou um outro: a alteridade como paradigma da identidade
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Muitos foram até hoje os autores que dentro e fora da área da psicologia se debruçaram sobre o
tema da identidade. No presente trabalho pretende-se chamar a atenção para o carácter
eminentemente relacional deste termo que nos é tão caro a todos. Nunca como hoje se viveram e
observaram tantas possibilidades de ser e estar no mundo, o que aparentemente poderia contribuir
para uma mais fácil assunção daquilo que o sujeito sente que é. Contudo, não é isso que se verifica.
As dificuldades sentidas pelas pessoas, mais ou menos conscientes, perante um contexto cada vez
mais desumanizado, fazem com que a vida em comunidade se desintegre lentamente perdendo-se
assim uma qualidade fundamental do que é ser-se humano. Somos divíduos, e não indivíduos como
costuma postular-se. O desejo, palavra-chave no discurso da psicanálise, será alvo de análise como
aquilo que está no cerne no sujeito, não definindo, porém, a sua identidade. A necessidade de
integração do estrangeiro revela-se cada vez mais como um movimento essencial para que nos
possamos mover neste contexto assoberbado de estímulos e reivindicações, que parecem concorrer
mais para o afastamento do que para a individualização dos sujeitos. Não pode haver forma de
olhar e tentar perceber o sujeito que não contemple o contexto no qual ele se insere.
Many have been the authors from within and without the field of psychology that have posed questions about identity. In the current work we try to appeal to the eminently relational feature of this concept we all care so much about. Never as nowadays has there been lived and seen these many possibilities of being in the world, which apparently could contribute to an easier assumption of what the subject feels he or she is. However, this it not the case. People are having trouble, consciously or unconsciously, living in this more and more dehumanized environment as ours seems to be. The fact is that community type living has been slowly degrading and this means a profound loss in the quality of being human. We are dividuals, not individuals as we usually see ourselves. Desire, the keyword in the psychoanalytic speech, will be taken into account as what most defines the subject despite being not an identity experience. Integrating the foreigner has never been so important as it is in today's world, in order to be able to live in this overwhelming context of permanent stimulus and claims that seem to promote withdrawal rather than subject's individualization. There cannot be a way of looking upon and understanding the subject that do not contemplate the environment in which he or she takes part
