Abstract EN:

The aim of this is to study the young adults' search for identity, bringing out the ill-being which results from it, as they can't see where they belong. This ill-being refers to narcissistic frailty, which is the modern form of subjectivity, ensnared by uncertainty and undifferenciation. But if this subjectivity is rooted in the history of the child - itself dominated by the impact of parental figures - it doesn't only reflect what has been lived. Indeed, the human being also lives in the social daily life, characterized by specific logics, which changes according to the demands - and crises - of capitalist mastery, logics which commands several domains : economic, political, ideological, socio-symbolical. Thus, the approach of narcissism is here intentionally multi-referential, in its search for interconnections between the social and the psychic world, the position non position in the social world and place for involvements counter-involvements of the subject being considered as a fundamental matrix-point of junction ("matrice-carrefour") and as one of the loci of the "interprocessual" knot.

Abstract FR:

L'objet de cette these traite de la recherche d'identite chez les jeunes adultes en degageant le mal-etre car ceux-ci n'arrivent pas a se situer. Ce mal-etre renvoie a la fragilite narcissique, forme moderne de la subjectivite, prise dans les rets de l'incertitude et de l'indifferenciation. Mais si cette subjectivite a bien ses racines dans l'histoire infantile, histoire dominee par l'impact des figures parentales, elle ne repercute pas que ce vecu. Car l'etre vit aussi dans la quotidiennete sociale, quotidiennete marquee par une logique specifique, evoluant selon les exigences - et les crises - de la maitrise capitaliste, logique ordonnant differents registres : economique, politique, ideologique, socio-symbolique. . . Aussi, l'approche du narcissisme se veut-elle ici resolument multireferentielle, dans la recherche des inter-connexions entre le social et le psychique, la place non place assignee dans le social et lieu des investissements contre-investissements du sujet, etant consideree comme une matrice-carrefour essentielle et comme un des lieux de base du noeud interprocessuel.
