主观性与符号化。

Psychoanal Rev. 1987 Spring;74(1):1-17.

The aim of this paper has been to demonstrate that the emergence of subjectivity as a central concept in psychoanalysis is both consistent with and intertwined with the emergence of a new great generative idea (Langer, 1942), now in its nascent stage. Langer's (1942) thesis that symbolization and the power of symbols provide the basis for the fundamental assumptions of the new great generative idea was presented in condensed form. Langer's work was then integrated with that of contemporary psychoanalytic theoretical writers, which tends to support Langer's thesis. Freud's discoveries were revolutionary insofar as they resulted in the posing of new kinds of questions that have to do with symbols and their meanings. To that extent the birth of psychoanalysis itself appears as one manifestation of the emerging new generative idea. The issue of subjectivity was examined from the specific vantage point of recent conceptualizations of self and self-experience. Symbolization, it was shown, is a crucial factor in both self-experience and conceptualizations of self. Finally, it was suggested by the author that some of the existing baffling problems concerning subjectivity, the concept of self, and self-experience may disappear in the context of the new great generative idea, based on fundamental assumptions about the power of symbols.

本文的目的在于证明，主观性作为精神分析学的核心概念的出现，既与一个新的伟大生成性观念（兰格，1942）的出现相一致，又与之相互交织，该观念目前尚处于萌芽阶段。兰格（1942）的论点，即符号化及符号的力量为这个新的伟大生成性观念的基本假设提供了基础，已以浓缩形式呈现。兰格的著作随后与当代精神分析理论作家的著作相结合，这往往支持了兰格的论点。弗洛伊德的发现具有革命性，因为它们引发了与符号及其意义相关的新问题。从这个意义上说，精神分析学本身的诞生似乎是新兴的新生成性观念的一种体现。主观性问题是从自我与自我体验的近期概念化的特定视角进行审视的。结果表明，符号化在自我体验和自我概念化中都是一个关键因素。最后，作者提出，一些关于主观性、自我概念和自我体验的现存令人困惑的问题，可能会在基于符号力量的基本假设的新的伟大生成性观念的背景下消失。
