ABSTRACT

I discuss Steven Cooper’s (this issue) scholarly and original elaborations on Winnicott’s theory of play, the ontological turn in psychoanalysis, and his posthumous conversation with Stephen Mitchell on the Developmental Tilt. While deeply appreciative of Cooper’s project and insights, I suggest that Mitchell’s paper is more polemic than precise, geared principally toward an elaboration of the early relational position. I compare and contrast Mitchell, Winnicott, and Cooper’s aims and strategies, reflecting on areas of agreement and disagreement. Finally, I focus on the evolution and dialectics of intellectual thought in psychoanalysis, querying how contemporary theories can reach new synthesis, integrating the rich descriptions of “individual” models with the insights of cultural studies, in order to meet this current moment of social crises and change.

摘要

我讨论了史蒂文库珀（本期）对温尼科特游戏理论的学术性和原创性阐述，精神分析的本体论转向，以及他与斯蒂芬米切尔关于发展倾斜的死后谈话。虽然对 Cooper 的项目和见解深表赞赏，但我认为 Mitchell 的论文更具争议性而不是精确，主要是为了阐述早期的关系立场。我比较和对比了 Mitchell、Winnicott 和 Cooper 的目标和策略，反思了同意和不同意的领域。最后，我关注精神分析中知识分子思想的演变和辩证法，质疑当代理论如何达到新的综合，将“个体”模型的丰富描述与文化研究的见解相结合，
