We have no time to lose

(Ana Maia Martha Wilson)

In an interview with a Brazilian magazine, the philosopher Carl Honore 2 describes the pressure exerted on parents to offer their children a perfect childhood:

A number of trends converged at the same time to produce a culture of perfection. Globalization has brought more competition and uncertainty about the labor market, which makes us more eager to prepare their children for adulthood. Consumer culture reached its apotheosis in recent years. The next step is to create a culture of high expectations, teeth, hair, body, holiday, house, everything must be perfect. And children are part of that picture perfect. It is a culture of all or nothing.

Encouraged by the collective work 3 I presented at the Fourth International Day of CIEN and the current discussions in the lab "A child between the wife and mother," 4 propose to raise a discussion on early and intense parental investment in schooling of their children as a symptom of our time, in its articulation with the role of family and feminine jouissance. In a historical context, the school failure arose from the compulsory education in the late nineteenth century. This offering of knowledge accessible to "Everyone" is based on the idea that knowledge is power. However, compulsory education does not guarantee equality of opportunities. Money and success of contemporary society is ideal for family values \u200b\u200btransmitted from the choice of the college of their children, even in preschool, when parents envision an education that guarantees a place in the best universities. "There are colleges today are like factories with a production line," says Honoré. In this sense, failure is an opposition to success, the ideal.

The role of family

Lacan 5 divides the children's symptoms according to the familiar pair. In the most complex and easier access to the intervention of the analyst being articulated by the paternal metaphor, the symptom represents the truth of the parents. In the simplest case, but difficult to intervene, have the child's symptom related to maternal fantasy, the child as the object exposed catches fantasmatic mother. According to the Lacanian clinic discontinuous, we would say that in this second case is psychosis, as well located Laurent 6 since the paternal metaphor is not present. However, at the time of decline of the father we referred to the Freudian Field to the current times, we find that there are neurotic structures in the presence of the paternal role, albeit not very consistent, getting the child more to fantasy imprisoned mothers.

Shortly after inventing two puns - Homel ( Hommel ) to situate the perverse relationship with the lack in the Other, and famiele ( famil ), to indicate the metaphorical function of the family in neurosis - Lacan 7 proposes that in the family drama, it is the "object the how relieved" that about. The neurotic search complete with the Other family.

Commenting on this enigmatic phrase "object the as free," Laurent 8 differentiates the Freudian approach (the child as "His Majesty the Baby," in place of ideal couple's) post-Freudian reading of Ferenczi, Klein and Winnicott, who locate the child as an object, to finally expose the proposed Lacan, in which child is caught in the enjoyment, as an object the : "The child is the object the comes in place of the anObject , and it is from this that the family structure. She does not sit on the metaphor father, who was the face of the classical Oedipus complex, but in how the child is the object of enjoyment of the mother, the family and, beyond, of civilization. The child is the 'object the released, "produced."

The family can now be defined as the machinery of the object , condenser of joy, whose function is the residue of an order of subjectivity and implies "a relationship with a desire that is not anonymous." 9 Even when the maternal and paternal functions become effective, there is always a residue of the mother, the embodiment of failure of care, and father, an incarnation of Law in desire. Thus, new forms of parenting can be analyzed beyond the Oedipus and function-name Father, sustained today by another person, not necessarily the father or a man.
