On Recognition and its Place in Psychoanalysis

Authors

  • Chris Joannidis

Abstract

Recognition is nowadays conceptualised as a unique psychological operation that has a complex temporal relationship with reversal and re-organisation of the internal / psychic status quo, i.e. the established meaning structure of the self, and of the personal history narrative, as well as the way one currently relates to and experiences living. It is as if recognition contributes to both a) the groundwork for and b) the final and relatively abrupt upending of the enveloping theoretical paradigm or indeed the raising to a higher level, of the functioning modality of the system. And that, by establishing new ways of perception, comprehension and relating.
