Zeitgeist literally means the spirit of a given time. That cultural atmosphere in which we think and work and with which we are sometimes lucky enough to tune in.
Zeitgeist also refers to what is being incubated, to the contemporaneity that anticipates what is about to happen. Psychoanalysis was enlightened and flourished because it knew -in conjunction with a body of artistic and intellectual knowledge and practice- how to capture the spirit of a time even before it became evident.
This blog gathers small writings -published in the written press or in the digital universe- where as a psychoanalyst I participate, in the heat of the facts and the news, in a discussion in which we are all involved as citizens.
