When and how does a newborn child become a subject? These are relevant to psychoanalysis not only theoretically, but also in clinical practice, where the issue at stake is how to help the analysand's mind to grow or, better, to increase the ability to give a meaning to experience. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Civitarese here argues that the psychoanalytic theory of sublimation and the aesthetic theory of the sublime are theories of subjectivation that can illuminate each other and give us a better understanding of the birth of the psyche. The aesthetic experience in art and in psychoanalytic practice are concerned with the social constitution of the individual, understood at its pre-reflective, non-verbal or inter-corporeal level. It is at this level that, thanks to the encounter with a receptive other, the turbulences of sensations and proto-emotions become soothing rhythms, proto-ideas or sensible ideas at first and, once words are added, concepts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Bionian terms, the \u003ci\u003eat-one-ment\u003c\/i\u003e between mother and baby is \u003ci\u003ea form of primordial abstraction\u003c\/i\u003e and occurs first in the dimension of the purely sensory and indistinct, and then in the affective space, which nonetheless is always a symbolic space if we take account that sociality is provided for the couple-system by the mother. It is exactly the intersubjective process of elevating toward conceptual thinking, but without ever detaching oneself from the thinking deposited in the body as procedural knowledge, that justifies the definition adopted here of human beings as \u003ci\u003eSublime Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores these topics not only through the lens of the concept of sublimation or the theory of the sublime, but also through those of masochism, hypochondria, truth and two readings of classical Freudian papers such as the clinical case of Dora and 'Formulations on the two principles of mental functioning'. \u003ci\u003eSublime Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as literature and philosophy scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiuseppe Civitarese, MD, Ph.D., \u003c\/strong\u003e is a training and supervising analyst of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society (SPI).
