[A postcolonial couch, psychoanalysis and critical studies]. / Un divan postcolonial, psychanalyse et critical studies.

ABSTRACT

The expression "postcolonial couch" is first of all to be understood as an invitation to rethink psychoanalysis beyond the anthropological, epistemological and political categories that saw its birth (the Oedipus complex, sexual difference, etc.). But it must also be understood as a de-fense of psychoanalysis, and more specifically as a defense of the type of listening and care that its unique device, based on the hypothesis of the unconscious, makes possible.
