PSICHOANALYSIS AND EPISTEMOLOGY OF THE PARADIGM OF COMPLEXITY

-Dra. Nize Maria Campos Pellanda  University of Santa Cruz do Sul, Brasil
-Dr. Luiz Ernesto Cabral Pellanda  Porto Alegre, Brasil

This paper centers around the Cartesian paradigmatic transition processes towards the autoorganized system ideas. These reflections and the privileged status of Psychoanalysis and Quantum Physics have produced a real conmotion in the roots of Cartesian thinking. The system and cibernetic theories imply the concept of autoorganization, that promotes the emergence of a new non-linear logic, in order to manage the complex phenomena. Maturana and Varela elaborated the concept of Autopoiesis, to express the autonomy-conectivity in living creatures.
Starting from this point, we are placed in a reflection about the way in which Psychoanalysis opposed that epistemological perspective, through Klein's, Bion's and Matte-Blanco's work. Many hypothesis have been constructed fom the perspective of establishing frontiers among disciplines and constituting, from the nuclear human actions, the subject-knowledge.

IS IT NECESSARY TO "RECUPERATE" PSYCHOANALYSIS?

Odilon de Mello Franco Filho -  San Pablo, Brasil

The paper points to evidences of a need to up-date Psychoanalysis in its theory and method, trying to make it more competitive with other scientific disciplines which stand side by side whith it.
The author identifies in these trends the same movements of recuperation wich was largely present in the seventies and eighties and meant to adapt several human disciplines to the frame-work of prevailing ideologies.
He states his opinion that Psychoanalysis doesn't have to modernize its conceptual basis, nor adapt its method to the demands of the market. Besides, it doesn't enter in disfavouring epistemological and methodological conditions in the interdisciplinary dialogue. What it needs is to reinforce its identity based on the confidence that its basic discoveries - such as those concerning the unconscious - and its method, go on being valid and fruitful.

Key words: epistemology-interdisciplinarity-crisis of Psychoanalysis -neutrality -subjectivity- analytical method

THE SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM AS A PROTECTIVE BASTION AGAINST CONTEMPORARY UNCERTAINTY

Dra. Susana Jallinsky - Bs. As, Argentina

The History of science is a history of discontinuities and ruptures, promoted by debate and disagreement. This is the reason why it is necessary "to look at history" as something more than a simple accumulation of chronologies and anecdotes. While this occurrs, this post-modern world mistakes identity, theory and politics. The conceptual exchange is in order to insist on and defend complex thinking rigorousness. So, it is necessary to sustain scientific discussions on the concepts of "paradigms" (Kuhn) and not only the "paradigm changes" but also "the functional", "the effective" and the paradoxical logics to maintain in order to maintain the subversive foundational condition of Psychoanalysis.

Key words: history of science-paradigms-debates-complex thinking-paradoxical logical- foundational subversive condition of Psychoanalysis
