Meriem Mokdad Zmitri, « Interlocking violence in internal, couple, family and societal spaces: Subjectivation in a mutant Tunisian context », Dialogue, ID : 10670/1.4b7f10...
The intersubjectivist current in psychoanalysis has imposed a new representation of the work of subjectivation to take into consideration a triad of themes: that of the unconscious, the bond and culture. In the present Tunisian context, intersubjective links are formed and unravelled through an inevitable confrontation between tradition and hypermodernity, straining identities and bonds. Tunisian couples and families are affected by vertiginous political and social changes occasioning polymorphous forms of violence. Through the case study of a couple, the present article seeks to show how subjectivation cannot take place and rid itself of violence without making individual, family and societal conflicts resonate. It is then the role of psychoanalytical couple and family therapy to accompany the quest for new markers by minimising the risk of violence.
