This response is based on Reyna Hernández de Tubert two articles: The Mexican social unconscious—Part I: The roots of a nation’ and ‘Part II: Politics and group analysis’ (Hernández de Tubert, 2021). ...It discusses the role of the myth of mestization and the myth of conquest in the Mexican social unconscious in Mexican tripartite matrices. It also draws attention to Ferenczi’s trauma theory—confusion of tongues—exploring the psychoanalytic and group analytic ideas on the ‘identification with the aggressor’ in association with the concepts of introjection and incorporation.
Cosmin Chita from Zurich and I, Carla Penna from Brazil, in association with David Glyn, the president of the Group Analytic Society International and Linde Wotton chair of the Scientific Committee ...are pleased to introduce the 46th Autumn Workshop. This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Freud’s Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse translated into English as Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1921). To delve into the topic we are grateful to count on an international staff. I would like to celebrate in this event the memory of our dearest Malcolm Pines.
Tarrago and Ozorio focuses on the study that provides an approach of how storms can affect meiofauna organisms in the intertidal zone of an exposed subtropical sandy beach with a micro-tide regime. ...The study area is located at Tramandaí beach on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This beach presents a micro-tide regime, morphodynamic states from intermediate to dissipative, average waves of about 1,5 meter and is in a humid subtropical climate strongly influenced by masses of polar and subtropical air. From this study it was possible to verify that storm surges act upon the structure of intertidal meiofauna, especially changing organism distribution along the beach profile.
Background The introduction of alien species in a system affecting native species due to competition for food and space. The purse oyster Isognomon bicolor (Bivalvia, Pteriidae), a potential exotic ...invader, presents gaps in its distribution and ecology knowledge in Brazilian coast. For this reason, our objective was to investigate the occurrence of this oyster on pipeline monobuoys in Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Specimens were collected monthly during surveys carried out from March 2010 to June 2011 at the Tramandaí Beach, along two pipeline monobuoys, MN-601 and MN-602, randomly from the depths of three and 22 m. Results We found I. bicolor dwelling on artificial hard substrates present in the Rio Grande do Sul coast, Brazil. This Caribbean bivalve was accidentally introduced to the Brazilian coast by ballast water from ships and, until now; it had not been recorded on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul state, which is under subtropical conditions. Conclusions The occurrence of I. bicolor in the faunistic surveys accomplished in the Rio Grande do Sul coast represents the first documented record for this species in this region. As this species is a potential exotic invader, with a high dispersal capacity, control measures must be employed to prevent its spread.
This invited commentary on the editorial and the five articles that comprise the Special Edition on Field Theory, organized by the Guest Editors Richard Morgan-Jones and Robert Snell, discusses the ...importance of Kurt Lewin's concept of the social field and the confluence of Bion's and the Baranger's theories for the creation of contemporary field theory in psychoanalysis and Foulkesian group analysis. These disciplines share a kind of 'field paradigm', which is grounded in the axioms of the intrinsic relationality of human beings, which have become essential in psychoanalysis and group analysis both in theory and practice.
