description

The present contribution intends to introduce to a reflection on the relationship between culture and personality, on the historicity of the contents that structure all the different levels of subjectivity (individual, interpersonal and transpersonal) beginning from the experience of the EATGA Workshop 2011 that took place in Palermo and that hads as its theme “Intersubjective bonds in the globalized economy”. Following studies and research on the role of the cultural phenomena in the formation of the psyche, in the life of relationship and in the work of transcultural analysis, the EATGA Workshop 2011 have introduced important elements of discontinuity. The theme, that structures the experience of the Workshop, originates from the evidence and from the awareness that in the actual world what people are or have become, their way of beying-in-relationship, is strongly determined by the cultural globalized and pervasive device, which is used since 30 years and determined by the economic-financial system. The economic-financial system, in fact, through the institutions and the organizations of work, informs the life of relationship, including family, and has redefined the meaning and the pregnancy of the bonds penetrating in the most intimate structure of the personality. The cultural logic of the macro economy influence and structure the interpersonal world, this influence is reflected in mild and instrumental forms of relationship and ties. The possible relationship is that of the transitoriness and instantaneousness, of the accumulation, of the effectiveness of the production. The proposed theme forces to the exploration of actual cultural phenomena, rather than events placed in the history and sedimented in the individual and collective memory. The object of work and research of the workshop becomes the analysis of the different cultural exchange models play out in the encounter with the other (the gift culture/ bond vs the exchange culture/ market). The exploration of the actual cultural phenomena requires an uncomfortable, but profitable in its continuous questioning, exercise to plan and put into practice methods of conduction and interpretation of group processes to be able to start a reflection on the historical and social dimensions that organize and structure the intersubjective relationships, and also on the shape and the quality of ties and the emerging identities in the contemporary world.
