[The psychopathological text].
Starting from the different epistemological status of looking and hearing in the clinical field, the author stresses the importance of the modalities of approaching the psychopathological text, embodied in its context, and conceived as an intersubjective production rather than an individual phenomenon. The author contends that the psychopathological text can be read in three different ways: 1. Informative. First-hand reading provides cumulative information, conditioned by reader's limitations and imaginary endowment. Likelihood and truth provide its framework, but colliding with each other, being likelihood the first way of organizing perceptual data, whereas truth is to be seeked behind apparent phenomena. 2; Hermeneutical. Reading through interpretation entails deciphering the text according to certain definite rules. The logic of hermeneutics differs from oridinary linear logic in its stemming from joint intersubjective sintactic and semantic recreation. Interpretation provides a joint signification for the discourse, but, because of this very fact, it also makes the codes used to hinge and to create a different universe of signification, and allows for starting the whole process anew. This new universe gives rise to a different link between likelihood and truth, making at least possible, if not necessary, their simultaneous positive values. 3. Maieutical. When the new universes of significations built up by hermeneutical reading are articulated among them, and the system of articulations are set forth, another level is attained, in which meaning is created. Meaning, according to the author's proposal, is generated by the systems of transformations of former universes, both in their synchronic and diachronic processes. Thus, meaning, being open to any possible combinatory of transformations, provides the widest gamut of possibilities to produce sense-and change-in their widest acception.
