Bion: l’esperienza di fronte ad O. A proposito di "Un raggio di intensa oscurità" di James S. Grotstein

In seminaries and the most important texts psychoanalist Bion turns to the expert reader. Bion is not in any way and for nothing popular but he intends to make the expert share of technical innovation and theoretical variations that his frequent practise of Freud inevitably leads. The thematic approach of the source to Heidegger’s thought (to the concept of care, to the reing who takes care of reing, next to the language concept of effectivity) according to a non phenomenological path, perhaps Platonic and kantiano, very close to the positions of Arendt (and of Julia Kristeva) with regard to the creativity inherent in maternal reverie. Keywords: experience, imagination, care, reverie, effectivity The paper examines some similarities between the process of listening and interpreting in the psychoanalytical setting, and the process of listening and understanding some music whose enjoyment is rather hard, a case in point being Schönberg’s compositions of his pre-serial period. If, in both processes, some dynamics of unconscious experiences generate seemingly senseless sequences - of sounds or, as in dream, of images and actions - in order to recover a hidden meaning in their discourse one may activate an "intentional listening", whose main characteristics are outlined in the paper.

Keywords: Polyphony, counterpoint, tonality, intentionality, perspective, temporality, impressionism, cubism, expressionism, dodecaphony
