Words by FEPAL Executive Committee
In September 2014, we started a new management of the Federation of Psychoa-
nalytic Societies of Latin America. A main objective of our task is the integration
of our societies, as we expressed in the work platform submitted in Buenos Aires
Congress: “FEPAL is that institutionalism that enables the crossing and exchange
of diversities (local, regional, individual). It is a sort of external body (exoskeleton)
where the identity as analysts, the identity as a local or regional association comes
into question, dialogue, interaction, with other alter identities (which alternate or
alterate us)”.
Our federation is a territory that gathers nine countries in Latin America. From
the southernmost to the northernmost point of our fepalinic space there are 8192
kilometres, and the names of both points start with the word in Spanish “monte”.
From Monterrey to Montevideo we have two languages, three or four races which
have miscegenated, territories where colonialism has devastated all the ancestors,
and others where the magic of syncretism has created a new form of Latin comple-
xion. In our societies, we configure fraticidal struggles, we fight and distance one
another, then we seek new forms of integration. Our way of thinking and acting
has been woven by all these elements which have emerged from disruption, displa-
cement and exchanges.
The word “text” derives from Latin texere, which means weaving, intertwining.
This idea is one of the most important tasks of our work as a federation: weaving
and intertwining various thoughts with that other who is spatially far away. Fe-
derating, communicating involves building an interface that allows a dialogicity
and interactivity of the various tensions that inhabit us in this vast territory. Due
to that fact, words become the tool which gradually enables that exchange and
transformation.
6 | FEPAL Executive Committee
Carried by Hermes, Chasquis, real or virtual messengers, words are treasured
to cross borders, to pass on our existence to those who live beyond the limit of our
fences. Our understandings of the world seek to cross boundaries in which our
languages begin to blur. Calibán should work as that messenger who operationa-
lise communication. The Latin American journal is the tool which represents this
exchange function among our associations.
In a world of faster and faster changes, the written word seeks materials which
allow it to adapt and survive. Just like at some point in history we turned from
papyrus to parchment, today we see transformation, the passage from paper to
virtuality. Just like from the quill and ink we turned to typography, we have gra-
dually turned from the rasorium (razor which erased letters in the Middle Ages) to
the “delete” key in the hypertextual keyboard. From stone engraving to the virtual
cloud; memory struggles against the oblivion we will be.
This issue of Calibán which we are presenting is the bet to extend the limits of
our thoughts into other territories, spatial as well as material: it is the first issue of
Calibán in English and, besides, the first version of an online Calibán.
The relationship that Walter Benjamin established between the words “trans-
lation” and “traitor” has been mentioned many times, but in this case the rela-
tionship would be with the idea of transporting, crossing the boundaries that the
difference between languages imposes on the transmission of ideas and representa-
tions. Within this order of verbal and visual trans-formations, this Calibán seeks a
new format: virtuality. Will the lovers of words treasured in pages, which time will
turn yellow, resist the transformation from material support into virtuality?
