El analista en la institución, una presencia a-normal

Abstract

This article researches the conditions that make the syntagm «presence of the analyst» possible within an institution. The following question is presented: how can listening and well-saying be ensured when working in an institution? This question is answered through out the article at different points, such as: an analytical understanding of what presence we are taken as by the parlêtre in transference as well as creating conditions that lead to embodying the void that gives rise to unconscious knowledge. In this sense, the author establishes that the act of silence, or being aware of the hateful side of negative transference, can produce a presence that orients towards the un-sayable, and opens a way of implication regarding what the analysand says. This entails carrying out work beyond the influence of the place promoted by the institution, be it that of the expert, the master or the bad Other, because it includes the dimension of presence in its paradoxical and a-normal aspect, as it is included in the unconscious.
