Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The functioning of the infantile in analytical theory is central: like infantile sexuality, infantile amnesia, infantile desire, infantile object ... And together it seems to be at the origin of a violent, too easy upheaval in the "modern" and "scientific" conception of childhood . But is what is actually in effect a transformation in the sense of Arbeiten, of analytic work? To those who practice in the human sciences, in their "children's" side, there are no unknown questions like: how does the birth of family feeling come into play in the "modern" idea of ​​a child? In what way is the infant-adult "couple" redefined? How does the Freudian company provide a scientific calibration of the childhood object? The definition of concepts such as education, reality, social bond is still radically a question in the Freudian project, beyond the attempts to engulf the human sciences. Successful attempts, as Lacan indicates, that make a "return to Freud" necessary today. It is a question here of whether the question of the efficacy of psychoanalysis in touching to a "real" of the subject can be removed in the ambiguous change of childhood. Also involved in the scientific discourse? It is in this bet that the Freudian concept of childhood functions as a hinge and together as a blind spot, a question of Freudian metapsychology.
