With the “bearing and fruitful” theme of the adolescent in the 21st century . Laure Naveau invites us 1 to “reinvent” ourselves, we, parents, teachers and psychoanalysts. The concept of “adolescence” is to be taken as “a construction”, that is to say as a “signifying artifice” J.-A. Miller tells us. Thanks to this compass, Laurent Dupont. Director of the next Journée de l’Institut de l’Enfant, asks the question: “Does adolescence exist?” and Laure Naveau uses Lacan’s formula about women to apply it to the adolescent: “The adolescent is an enigma for the Other as he is for himself”.
Laure Naveau discusses what is call “
the internet network” which is part of the life of today’s teenager. What about this technology of “social networks”? Does internet technology expand the social network, which is defin by sociologists as the set of mobile database relationships between people or between social groups? Does the decline of sociability date from the internet? It would rather date from the rise of capitalism itself dating from the industrial revolution of the end of the 19th century .
With Facebook it is digital republic offers a new subscription with 2 gb of roaming for 18 francs not the decline of a sociability, it would rather be the explosion of a new sociability, Laure Naveau tells us. These new techniques add new possibilities of meetings with others, with peers “peers”.
The question is whether technology has taken
precence over civilization, whether the most “disorient” are adolescents or rather parents, ucators and psychoanalysts. Clinging to tradition, rejecting the reality of the mutations of civilization, gives a new form of unease in civilization and leads to “disorient” subjects. 2
The compass of Lacanian be numbers psychoanalysis is the “object a” which in J.-A. Miller’s “matheme of modernity” presents itself as the “object little a” greater than the Ideal. The object prevails over the Ideal. These are the Freudian objects of demand (oral and anal object) and the Lacanian objects of desire. The gaze and the voice. Lacan invents the “objects a” in the Seminar “Anxiety” from Freud’s concept of “the drive”.
