Ethical-Political Diagnosis (EPD): one of the ways of diagnosing singularities in collective practices

Abstract:

This article conceptualizes a psychoanalytical strategy for diagnosing social events, ranging from a limit event to a traumatic or catastrophic scene. Such a strategy includes the times of seeing, understanding, and concluding, in addition to covering the singular and collective dimensions that impinge on subjects. The text presents excerpts from an encounter with teachers in a public school, who met to discuss the traumatic aspects of school experience during the pandemic. These excerpts serve as a model for the analysis of reconstruction possibilities that offers the Ethical-Political Diagnosis.
