N2 - The divisions between different populations within the US are socially constructed and perpetuated through intergroup interactions, cultural narratives, and media representation. These divisions contribute to the dehumanization of the >other<, a process that facilitates the justification of violence, systemic inequity, and social exclusion. When individuals perceive members of out-groups as fundamentally different or less human, any sense of shared humanity is eroded, making discrimination and harm more acceptable. However, empathy serves as a powerful counterforce to these divisive tendencies. As an adaptable and practicable cognitive and emotional process, empathy fosters understanding and reduces inner and outer group hostility. To effectively combat violence and social fragmentation, empathy must be cultivated and extended beyond familiar in-groups to encompass those perceived as >other<. One of the most compelling avenues for empathy-building is engagement with literature and language. Reading and language learning encourage perspective-taking, allowing individuals to step into the experiences of others, while also activating neural mechanisms associated with empathy. By fostering deeper emotional and intellectual connections between diverse groups, literature and language serve as critical tools in dismantling social barriers and promoting a more inclusive and equitable society. This thesis examines how, specifically, literature and language increase empathy, by analyzing interview data and literary works. While my interview sample is limited in scope, data suggest that storytelling and language learning possess a transformative power – one that can reshape perceptions, humanize the unfamiliar, and ultimately contribute to a more empathetic and connected society.

N2 - I believe that clinical work with adolescents provides extremely valuable contributions in the Field Theory area. The observation and care of adolescents has always made me think how growth is a painful process of separation from and rediscovery of the lost object in après-coup, how important it is for us analysts not to lose touch with our human gaze, and above all with the meaning of the affection that guides our clinical listening, especially when we are dealing with minors who are >hard to reach< (Joseph 1975). Therefore, I consider affection a genuine theoretical and technical prerequisite – I could say, a >parameter< – for emotionally contacting the adolescent in the symbolic and affective place where they happen to be: in other words, for fostering a unison. So, in this paper, I would like to try and set up a dialectic between the concepts of affection, unison (Bion 1962) and subjectivation in adolescence, understood as a field and group phenomenon.

N2 - This paper provides an analysis of the patient’s somatic experiences and fantasies during the psychoanalytic psychotherapy of childhood relational trauma. Somatizations and enactments pertaining to childhood traumas are discussed as they expressed aspects of early stigmatizations, social bullying, and parental boundary violations. A central persecutory theme of impending death during the Covid pandemic is discussed as it revealed previously unspeakable persecutory fears. Obsessional somatic preoccupations and fantasies expressed the patient’s sense of inescapable condemnation and annihilation, which in turn portrayed the patient’s fear of parental homicidal wishes toward the patient. Key aspects of this treatment also concerned an analysis of self-endangerment and suicidality as a defensive process of identification with the aggressor. Somatic aspects of transference and countertransference phenomena are explored as an integral part of the analysis. A discussion of the case material with two psychoanalyst colleagues is included.

N2 - The paper outlines the effects of consumerism on the human subject and human bonds. The present text discusses, through Freud’s conceptualization of >object,< the process leading to a possible objectification of mankind in consumerist societies. Later, Hegelian arguments are also used in an effort to differentiate >object of consumption< and >object of desire,< which are often interpreted as synonyms. Finally, contemporary authors are brought to the discussion to reflect on the effects of this confusion on contemporary subjects and their possible objectification. One might ask, then, whether the logic of consumption offers the illusion of omnipotence that places man in the position of master, that is, the illusion of independent consciousness. But isn’t the individual actually being enslaved? Thus, from the reading of Hegel, Freud, and Žižek, we think that this is what transforms the subjects dominated by consumerism into objects of consumption themselves. We believe that the wager of psychoanalysis in the Lacanian perspective is based on the immortality of desire and the responsibility of the subject for their choices. The analyst at work has the possibility of interpreting a discourse, that is, interpreting the surplus of jouissance, the modes of enjoyment of each discourse.

[Online ISSN 1522-1970] N2 - This study, through the concept of biophilia, examines how we can restore a >love of life< in a world often characterised by rationalisation, destruction, and alienation from self and nature. Specifically, we observe how outdoor adventures during travels might contribute to the development of biophilic feelings. To this end, we employed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to analyse the narratives from nine participants in the UK, Germany, and Serbia. The findings suggest that adventure activities in the outdoors foster the development of meaningful relationships with the self, other humans and non-human nature, all contributing to the enhancement of eudaimonic wellbeing. The study adds to the tourism literature by arguing that more biophilic and ecological approaches, hitherto underutilised in studying the benefits of tourism from a positive psychology perspective, might serve as a lens through which to explore meaningful social transformation in times of polycrises.

Many Zen scholars, thinkers, psychologists, and countless scholars and Zen practitioners, represented by Hu Shi, D.T. Suzuki, Heinrich Dumoulin, and Erich Fromm, have devoted themselves to the study of Zen. Professor Mingdong Gu, the Kathryn Cissell Chair Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, is one of the most accomplished. Professor Gu has more than 30 years of experience in Zen practice and more than 20 years of accumulation of Zen theory. After years of cross-cultural comparative exploration of Zen between the East and the West, he has created a new paradigm for studying the nature and basic principles of Zen and Zen enlightenment, and based on this, he has put forward a series of innovative viewpoints.

N2 - Against the backdrop of a global >authoritarian turn,< the question arises as to what extent social science conceptions of authoritarianism do justice to current social developments and to what extent it is worthwhile to seek additional explanations. After a look at the history of authoritarianism research, various concepts of authoritarianism are discussed: Altemeyer’s >right-wing authoritarianism,< the concept of authoritarianism developed by Decker and colleagues, Sidanius and Pratto’s >social dominance theory,< Duckitt’s >dual process model,< and Amlinger and Nachtwey’s concept of >libertarian authoritarianism.< In addition, Erich Fromm’s concept of >group narcissism< is compared with Tajfel and colleagues’ >social identity approach.< For Erich Fromm, group narcissism is a relatively stable aspect of a social character. Authoritarian group narcissists are exclusively and unscrupulously concerned with their own (and group-related) uniqueness, their power, and their money and therefore shamelessly discriminate against weak and inferior groups. It is therefore discussed whether group narcissism might not be a useful theoretical approach to observe and analyze the elitism of Trumpists and their supporters in addition to existing concepts of authoritarianism. Finally, Erich Fromm’s Theory of the Self is acknowledged as a meta-theoretical framework within which >academic< social psychological theories of identity and the self can also be placed. Therefore, a bridge between >academic< and psychoanalytic social psychology is advocated.

N2 - Erich Fromm not only developed a still-significant approach to social psychology, but he also represented a humanistic understanding of science that is groundbreaking for the social transformations of the present day. The article first attempts to show the religious and philosophical roots of his reception of humanism and then presents the psychological understanding of humanism that he refined and determines its significance for the present day. Fromm psychologically substantiates both the universality of man and his capacity for perfection by reflecting the existential situation of the human being as defined by brain development. With a different view of the unconscious, he then expands the psychological understanding of humanism. Instead of seeing what is unconscious primarily as the result of repression, Fromm understands the unconscious as the universal human being with all facets of human potential. These potentials, however, only become conscious to the extent that social filters enable them to become conscious. Humanism is therefore critical of socially conditioned filters and their alienating dynamics in order to no longer experience the hitherto unconscious realization of the human potential as something alien but as something profoundly one’s own.

CEG is a philosophical strand in older adult education aiming at the social emancipation of older learners. CEG links radical emancipation to the outcome of raising older learners’ presumed naïve consciousness with the help of an enlightened teacher. In this essay, we argue that the logic of radical social emancipation features theoretical contradictions at its roots, which translate into empirical ambiguities when employed to raise older learners’ consciousness. We address two problems: (1) older learners’ naïve consciousness and (2) its subsequent dependence on teachers’ critical consciousness. To solve these problems, we propose Jacques Rancière’s logic of educational emancipation, focusing on the individual’s capacity to learn by presuming intellectual equality as a pre- condition for learning rather than an outcome as with CEG. By treating this perspective in older adult education, we hope to emancipate CEG itself by refocusing its scope primarily on the educational realm.

N2 - The article presents some ideas about the phenomenality of thoughts. We understand the phenomenal as the pure presence without symbolic (i.e., verbal) determination. In this respect, the phenomenal comprises the imaginary such as images, sounds, smells, tastes, touch and feelings as well as the felt atmosphere (i.e., one's feelings that fill a space beyond the boundary of the body). The phenomenal represents the earliest form of thinking. At this point, a distinction is made between matter (the biological side of thinking) and the ideal (the ideal side of the biological). The line between the two sides can only be conceptualized in an abstract and mathematical way (as a quantum structure). From this basic framework, philosophical and cultural references (e.g., to Nancy's ontology of the body and Claire Denis’ film work), as well as psychoanalytic references (e.g., to the function of the skin), are established.
