The 21st-century individual is increasingly shaped as a subject in rapid transformation, oriented toward new identity configurations that emphasize performative capacities and hyper-autonomy. The speed of the ongoing anthropological metamorphosis, together with the resulting reconfigurations of relational patterns, raises new questions for clinical pathways. It is within this framework that my exploration of the Homeric narratives takes shape: the function of the aoidoi, co-protagonists and singers of the nostosalgos of Odysseus’ journey, will be reinterpreted as a proto-clinical device and proposed as a possible interpretive key for investigating the intrapsychic, intersubjective, and transgenerational transformations of generative and intergenerational bonds.
