Psychoanalysis, History, and Radical Ethics: Learning to Hear

by Donna M. Orange

Psychoanalysis, History, and Radical Learning to Hear explores the importance of listening, being able to speak, and those who are silenced, from a psychoanalytic perspective. In particular, it focuses on those voices silenced either collectively or individually by trauma, culture, discrimination and persecution, and even by the history of psychoanalysis. Drawing on lessons from philosophy and history as well as clinical vignettes, this book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the role of trauma in creating silence, and the importance for psychoanalysts of learning to hear those silenced voices.

[Valentín Serrano García · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5
Libro que apenas interesará a aquellos que no militen en el psicoanálisis anglosajón del self y de la relación de objeto (en la tradición de Winnicot y Kohut).
Ahora bien, el problema no es sólo que le falte el alimento de la renovación lacaniana (no es ni mencionada), sino una serie de problemas particulares:

-La traducción al castellano es malísima. Las estructuras son forzadas y las puntuaciones erráticas. Sólo por esto merecería ser suspendido.
-Mucho revoloteo circunstancial en torno al nazismo filosófico (y no meramente político) de Heidegger.
-Sobrevuela sin profundidad sobre ciertos temas (Ferenzci, por ejemplo).
-Escoramiento excesivo hacia la ética radical de Levinas llevado a una militancia quasi-woke (no llega a serlo, pero en ocasiones el celo de la autora con ciertos temas trasluce un cabreo que parece un asunto personal).

Hay momentos interesantes que inducen a la reflexión, pero el resultado final es un tanto desvaído, limitado y personalista.

While the thesis and suggested praxis are well developed and convincing, I wish the section on masochism and how the theme of the book doesn't devolve into clinical masochism was developed more. To me that seems the one unstable tension in her argument.

It was my first introduction to Logstrup though, and I'm grateful for that as well as her honesty and vulnerable grappling with modern forms of oppression and silencing.
