The topics covered in this issue of Cultura were the subject of debate at two international colloquia with different intentions, but whose conceptual framework reveals great affinities: the Colloquium "Modes of Evidence", organized by Danièle Cohn and Adelino Cardoso in September 2012, and the Colloquium "Drive, Affect and the Unconscious: From Philosophy to Psychoanalysis, from Psychoanalysis to Phenomenology", organized in the same month by Nuno Miguel Proença. The works on Fernando Gil's thought focus on the objects and operations of choice of our Philosopher, such as the theme of sovereignty (Diogo Pires Aurélio), the operation of evidence (Ana Isabel Bastos) and the intelligibility of expression situated in a Leibnizian framework (Sofia Araújo); they take up dialogues between the authors and Fernando Gil regarding applications of Gilian concepts in various fields such as psychoanalytic healing (Françoise Coblence), medicine and medical art (Manuel Silvério Marques), the literary production of Manuel Teixeira-Gomes (Helder Macedo) and an important mathematical discovery by Cantor (Françoise Balibar). The works that question the link between phenomenology and psychoanalysis interpret the meaning of the concepts of affect, drive and unconscious in an innovative way. A Husserlian reading of affect brings it closer to the psychoanalytic theory of drives and relates the phenomenological unconscious to the Freudian unconscious (Carlos Morujão). Affect is the ground of fundamental ontology; understood on the basis of Heideggerian analysis, its importance is revealed both in care and in understanding existence in everyday life (Irene Borges Duarte). Blind repetition, characteristic of drives, which is nihilistically opposed to change, calls for the institution of a subject whose desire, symbolically determined, lies beyond the natural pleasure principle (Rudolf Bernet). The psychoanalytic doctrine of drives, their objects and the relationship between sexuality and the law transgresses the ontotheological limits set by philosophy, going beyond one-body psychology and one-body neurology, elucidating the meaning of learning (Fernando Belo). A phenomenological reading of the knot of Lacanian topology makes it possible to understand its holes as experienceable in an affective and carnal way: drives, desires and love are its material and its movements thus receive an ontological meaning (Guy-Félix Duportail). Henry's description of subjectivity as the self-affection of the living, in turn, redefines the Freudian notions of affect, drive and unconscious, making it possible to understand repression beyond the legacy of a philosophy of representation (Nuno Miguel Proença). Jaspers and Binswanger adopted phenomenology in different ways after receiving Freudian psychoanalysis.The debate around the structural method in psychopathology shows us how (Elisabetta Basso).
