O protobrincar e o processo de subjetivação: o que isso me ensina?

The author studies the baby's primitive play, which he proposes to call proto-play, and its relation with the process of constitution of the Self. This play lays the future foundations for the symbolic play of the older child. Two quotidian situations are observed, proposing a dialogue between authors ranging from Winnicott to contemporaries such as Rodulfo, Guerra, Roussillon, Golse, among others. Through the function of play, the author offers some considerations on the process of initial subjectivation that occurs through the intersubjective encounter with the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
