El cuerpo puesto para el acto : cutting, una manifestación actual de la declinación del Nombre del Padre.

Abstract

This research paper addresses the phenomenon of cutting as a current manifestation of the Declension of the Name of the Father. The importance of the research lies in the increase in adolescents, who, taken by anguish, decide to locate it in the body in a raw way and not mediated by the symbolic, as occurs in cutting. Therefore, it is of great importance to establish the incidence of the declination of the father's name in the cutting phenomenon and to elaborate recommendations that serve in future investigations in order to elaborate effective work proposals in the face of this problem. The general objective of the study was to analyze cutting as an expression of the declension of the Name of the Father, using a qualitative and interpretive approach together with the descriptive method. Through interviews and bibliographic review, it was found that adolescents who practice cutting have a limited or absent relationship with the father figure. The body becomes the means to express the discomfort that they cannot communicate symbolically and they use the cut as a way to stop the anguish they feel. The conclusions highlight that the Declension of the father's name has a significant impact on the appearance of cutting, since it deprives adolescents of the symbolic resources to face their discomfort. The figure of the humiliated or absent father makes it difficult to mediate the relationship with the mother, which can lead to conflictive relationships.
