Unsettlement and link or link and unsettlement?

Abstract

The motivation to write this paper came through our experiences while participating in the Grupo de Estudos de Vínculos e Transgeracionalidade da SBPdePA, as well as experiences brought from our daily practice. Along this study practice we dealt with concepts which were fundamental for the comprehension of the Teoria de “Vínculos” (this word is mostly used in Latin American studies, and the word will be here roughly translated as “link” or “links”), such as “presence”, link, “ajenidad” and unsettlement, which are viewed from a logic point that parallels the classical psychoanalytical theory without, nevertheless, anullying it. Furthermore, it is through a scene from the movie “The Blind Side” that we intend to demonstrate the possibility of a new encounter to generate something really new, something that unsettles and imposes itself, when another print is created, a new link is born.
