In an era where the paternal image is evaporating and the traditional family structure is crumbling, who or what can assume the function of the father? This book explores what remains of the father after the loss of his ideal, and how the transmission of desire from one generation to the next can occur when the patriarchal model no longer holds sway—and the exemplary Oedipal Father has definitively lost his authority.
Drawing on the works of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, the author sketches the features of a weakened yet still vital paternal figure. Fatherhood, stripped of its powerful and majestic aura, remains significant. Its unique role as a witness—one that in our time acquires an ethical value—is crucially important.
This is a thoughtful, non-speculative analysis based on established psychoanalytic theory, not on rumour or unverified claims. The book does not present new news but rather a theoretical reflection on contemporary fatherhood.
