Suomen Akatemian hanke “Asymmetric Encounters: Intersubjectivity and the Sense of Boundaries” yhteistyössä Suomen Psykoanalyyttisen Yhdistyksen kanssa järjestää koulutustapahtuman
”Äidit, isät ja muut: Uusia näkemyksiä psykoanalyyttisiin teorioihin varhaisesta vuorovaikutuksesta”
Koulutustapahtuma kokoaa keskeisiä psykoanalyyttisia tutkijoita keskustelemaan kysymyksistä, mikä on sukupuolen rooli vastasyntyneen hoidossa, milloin ja miten hoitajan sukupuolella alkaa olla merkitystä vauvan näkökulmasta, miten ajatella oidipaalisia kysymyksiä perheiden monimuotoisuuden näkökulmasta ja missä määrin perinteinen maskuliinisen ja feminiinisen vastakohtaisuus sopii yhteen ei-binaarisen sukupuolikäsityksen kanssa.
Jos halutaan voida väittää, kuten toivomme, että psykoanalyyttisella ajattelulla on paljon tarjottavaa nyky-yhteiskunnalle ja nykypäivän tieteelliselle teoretisoinnille, tällaisten kysymysten huomiotta jättäminen merkitsisi perinteisten, juurtuneiden vanhempien roolien normatiivisen aseman vahvistamista.
Psykoanalyyttinen perinne antaa oman ainutlaatuisen panoksensa ihmisyyttä, hyvinvointia ja psykologista kehitystä koskeviin ydinkysymyksiin. Tämän koulutustapahtuman tavoitteena on edistää elävää, ajatuksia herättävää ja tulevaisuuteen suuntautuvaa keskustelua psykoanalyyttisista aiheista.

Kuvaus:
The psychoanalytic tradition has long operated with a very traditional idea of a family, in that the earliest interactions have been considered to be normally taking place between the child and the mother, whereas fathers allegedly enter the scene at a later stage – thus giving rise to the Oedipal dilemma. Naturally, this way of thinking about the developmental setting reflects the way of thinking prevalent at the time that psychoanalytic theories were first formed. What causes puzzlement, however, is that such assumptions still seem rather prominent in contemporary psychoanalytic thinking. To be sure, after Freud, psychoanalysts focused on pre-Oedipal stages of development, thus extending the initial Freudian scope. Yet, the traditional distribution of parental roles still continually make itself felt – this is visible not only in the fact that the mother-father combination is easily taken as the ‘default value’ of parenting, but also the way specific attributes and tasks are assigned to the caregivers: mothers are often viewed as providers of tenderness, continuity, and intimacy, whereas fathers are presented as figures that activate, excite, and introduce norms and boundaries to the developing child. While there are also those who explicitly defend such traditional division of parental roles, using mainly arguments from biology, the normative roles are more often simply taken for granted. The persistence of such assumptions, despite the immense societal changes over the past one hundred years, easily gives an impression that they are somehow built into the psychoanalytic thinking. What would happen if instead of rigid sex-based binary parental roles one would start speaking of “caregivers” more neutrally? Would something crucial be lost? Would something important be gained? Would such an updating procedure be detrimental to the psychoanalytic way of thinking?
The conference – “Mothers, fathers, and others: New insights into psychoanalytic theories of early interaction” – takes up the challenge and gathers central psychoanalytic scholars to discuss the following questions in particular: What is the role of gender in the care of the newborn infant? When and how does the sex of the caregiver begin to matter from the infant’s perspective? How to think about Oedipal issues from the perspective of diversity of families? To what extent is the traditional opposition between “masculine” and “feminine” compatible with a non-binary conception of gender? If one wishes to argue, as we hope to, that psychoanalytic thinking has a lot to offer for contemporary society and for the scientific theorization of today, questions like these cannot be left hovering in the air – ignoring such questions would only amount to tacitly strengthening the normative position of the traditional ingrained parental roles. We feel that the psychoanalytic tradition contributes uniquely to core questions about humanity, wellbeing, and psychological development, and the event at hand is an attempt to foster a lively, thought-provoking, and forward-looking discussion on psychoanalytic understanding of caregiving and parental roles.
