The meaning of work and its context: A reinterpretation of bartleby, the scrivener by herman melville
2017
By means of a critical reinterpretation of the famous short story by Herman Melville titled “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” I propose a psycho-anthropological explanation of work behaviors, relationships in work environments, and their psychopathological repercussions. The article notably examines behaviors and work relationships connecting them as outcomes of single individuals' efforts to mentalize ideological–cultural models determining them in a given historical moment. A reductively individualistic interpretation is criticized, which is typically present in clinical and work psychology and ascribes to the single person presumed psychical deficits and exclusively looks in his/her personal hi…

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.

Educación física y deporte como aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida: alternativas pedagógicas al modelo prototípico corporal
2017
Resumen: El discurso hegemónico actual promulga una educación corporal basada en imágenes prototípicas que no tienen en cuenta los intereses, necesidades o particularidades de las personas mayores. Sobre todo, vinculadas con el cuerpo esbelto, el físico imponente y la reproducción que trata de moldear la imagen corporal de una persona adolescente. Por el contrario, nuestra propuesta se centraría en invertir este modelo partiendo de las necesidades de los propios adultos, dando una mayor validez a las relaciones interpersonales, sociales y afectivas, que a la estética corporal resultante. Abstract: The current hegemonic discourse expresses a type of body education based on prototypical image…
Il malinteso tra cultura ed emozioni
2013
The misunderstanding between culture and emotions The aim of this article is the study of the cultural misunderstanding in care relationships, beginning from the analysis of the misunderstanding effects on physician-immigrant patient relations, for example the therapy interruption, the incomprehensibility of symptoms. The western medical model tends to be based on objective data, which can be diagnosed through increasingly precise and detailed techniques, but it excludes the human and cultural aspects from care relationships. This exclusion produces distance, which is increased by both the absence of a cultural homogeneity and the presence of different languages and different body, health a…

By showing some clinical examples, this contribution points out how specialized comp…

The life of relationship in globalized financial economic devices: Evidences from the experience of a group-analytic transcultural workshop
2014
The present contribution - starting from the experience of the EATGA Workshop 2011 that took place in Palermo and that had as its theme “Intersubjective bonds in the globalized economy” - invites to reflect on the quality of the life of relationship and intersubjective connectedness in social contemporary world. One of the characterizing cultural phenomena influencing contemporary reality is made up by the dominant and pervasive presence of logic and language of financial markets in policies and activities that organize and articulate daily life. Theoretical hypothesis driving our research is that the structures of subjectivity, the meaning and the way of being in a relationship are charact…
