As incidências da pulsão de morte na cultura e a ética da psicanálise

Abstract

The problem with this research concerns the political implications of psychoanalysis. The investigation of the death drive is dedicated, as a key concept in psychoanalysis, in relation of the subject to a civilization. To delimit the impasses of the drive in relation to civilization and the subject, part of what Freud called “the malaise in civilization "as what, when present at all levels of culture, can be interpreted as constituting the modes of relationship between men and not as an impediment to the social bond. Through this examination, one wonders the possibility to assume or point of view that it is with great effort and movement of renouncing the pulsations that man can establish a certain order civilizing. Furthermore, investigate the inversion from the point of view of how the drives destruction only to prevent the exercise of culture and its suppression can lead to an experience of harmony and rate. Through Lacan's teaching, notably in the seminars The Ethics of Psychoanalysis and The Four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis, the role of death drive in the constitution of the subject and in the social field to point out the existing disharmony between a culture as an ideal and a culture as an experience. Examine, with Lacan, a passage between the death pulse and its effects on the civilizing bond to one to inquire about desire and a function of good. And it is concluded that the problematic of the death drive and the civilizing bond unfolds, in addition to its terms, in the ethical support of desire.
