- 2021.

The “in-fans”, who cannot speak, needs a narrator, especially a psychoanalyst in the transference in order to be able to hear again the “silent” language that is expressed in the time of the “Jetztzeit”. Through a reflection on Freud’s work on aphasias and his exchange of letters with Fliess, it is possible to identify important previews which constitute a sort of pre-semiotics, as well as a theory on memory. In addition, history, sociology, semiotics and the neurosciences could be all necessary interlocutors for developing the issue of the Infantile in psychoanalysis.
