Towards a Metapsychology of Time

This work seeks to investigate the various temporalities of psychoanalysis based on three priority thematic axes on which many Freudian concepts are based. Among the temporal dimensions of psychoanalytic theory, we essentially emphasise the notion of mythical time, the a posteriori and the (a)temporality of the unconscious. The approaches discussed here do not exhaust Freud's times, nor do they seek a conceptual closure around the issue, but they aim - with some partnership with Deleuze's philosophy - to identify important temporal axes in the psychoanalytic field that open up to the perspective of a plural understanding of time.
