Abstract: 공동-현존에서 공동-예측으로: 하이브리드 환경에서의 상호주관성에 대한 정신분석적 재고찰 양지선 서울대학교병원 정신건강의학과 Hybrid educational environments, combining in-person and real-time remote participation, have become increasingly common, yet their implications for psychoanalytic intersubjectivity remain underexplored.Classical psychoanalytic models presuppose bodily co-presence, offering limited conceptual resources for understanding technologically mediated interaction.Drawing on intersubjective psychoanalysis and selected insights from social neuroscience, this paper argues that hybrid settings alter the conditions under which intersubjectivity is sustained by weakening automatic bodily resonance and foregrounding anticipation, inference, and imaginative supplementation.To capture this shift, the paper introduces co-prediction as a descriptive analytic concept, referring not to a new psychoanalytic mechanism but to the heightened visibility of transference, fantasy, and expectation under conditions of sensory asymmetry and technological mediation.Based on a reflective analysis of the author's experience in a psychoanalytic training program that transitioned from remote to hybrid instruction, the paper suggests that hybrid environments render explicit the inherently incomplete and predictive character of intersubjective experience.
