He human being It is the only mammal that is born helpless, that is, in a state in which it must receive assistance from others in order to survive. In this founding fact, an effect of subjectivation is produced by the interception of the desire of the other and, in turn, the encounter with the social that constitutes it. The tender bond, in that princely encounter, marks a founding instance of the human condition.
Ulloa (1988), following these Freudian ideas, defines tenderness as a founding psychic instance of the human condition, defining in turn its opposite pair: “cruelty”. “Tenderness is the initial renunciation of the empowerment of the child subject,” says Ulloa. He thus places tenderness as a brake on empowerment, as a limit, and describes two characteristics of tenderness as a function: Empathy, as it implies the identifying link with the other, in the dimension of the similar, that is, identified with the aspects that would allow us to understand the needs of the budding subject. This identification implies a psychic work that will allow for sustenance (Winnicott), guaranteeing adequate supply (heat, food, lullaby, words) and the gaze that defines how to look with loving interest at someone who is recognized as a foreign subject and different from oneself, in a double and interwoven process of alienation and separation, which will give rise to the constitution of subjectivity.
He educational settingis a privileged area in which the connection, the social bond, and the encounter with the other, are recreated and find the possibility of a reissue in which social wounds are “repaired”, as indicated Carina Kaplan. These are transfers that renew the possibility of re-edition of the first ties, in which this same transfer operates as a support for a transmission, which is nothing more than the passage through a constitutive place, at the same time historical, biographical and simultaneously current.
Tenderness is the way in which protection against prematureness, articulated with the identification and differentiation of the other, allows subjectivation and developments that will link the subject with the social: it is the field of the Other, the Symbolic as a registration record , in which the third party operates by making a significant trace.
The school as a possible offerer of tenderness, embodied in the adults who intervene there, shows a possible dimension of repairing painful situations and, at the same time, relief from the pressures of the time, as well as the challenges that it faces. poses, in times of hopelessness and helplessness.
