Migrations and Effects on Subjectivity, Today

Abstract

Armed conflicts and poverty are not the only motives for migration. At present, subjects escape everything that no longer guarantees their rights as citizens or that no longer brings them satisfaction. Which, in a consumer society happens frequently. That is to say, in “forced” displacements, not only extreme risk conditions are at stake, but also the subjectivity of each individual; there is something of the subject's desire that seeks to create something new. The postmodern discourse that “everything has an expiration date” as well as the weakening of the father's function and weakening of the links makes the survival of the family and the family more and more difficult. society. Given this, what is the role of the psychoanalyst in the new coordinates of the time? Is it pertinent to advocate for the return to the father or not? What is the use value that can be given to the name of the father, if we take into account his essential role around the desire and enjoyment of the subject?
