This paper proposes to investigate the place occupied by money in the psychic economy, given its supreme status acquired in most societies and times when human life began in civilization. This is an investigation of social phenomena by psychoanalytical bias, featuring in a research in psychoanalysis bibliographic method and interpretive reading, from the theoretical perspective of Freud and psychoanalytical productions in the field. It is dedicated to the study of money from a point of view of originating the subject drives, with explanation of the history, origin and practical evolution of money and its role of supremacy in industrial civilizations, passing the meanings and representations common sense already studied the psychological science and being analyzed by the interpolation of the subject of the unconscious, driven by instincts and desire. It reads that the money is not only as an object with instinctual and representational effects of the subject, but it is holder of a structural capacity of the psyche, constituting as Cipher own constitution of being. The presence of an ambivalent relation of the subject to money, where money is links the domination scenarios and human exploitation is consistent with the impossible harmony between human and civilized life. The handles of the psychoanalytic subject with money does not make appropriate balance and harmony since money amoeda also instinctual antagonisms originate. / Este trabalho propõe investigar o lugar ocupado pelo dinheiro na economia psíquica, considerando seu estatuto supremo adquirido na maior parte das sociedades e épocas em que a vida humana se pôs em civilização. Trata-se de uma investigação de fenômenos sociais pelo viés psicanalítico, caracterizando-se numa pesquisa em psicanálise de método bibliográfico e leitura interpretativa, a partir da perspectiva teórica de Freud e de produções psicanalíticas no campo. Dedica-se ao estudo do dinheiro de um ponto de vista das pulsões originárias do sujeito, com explanação sobre a história, origem e evolução prática da moeda, bem como seu papel de supremacia nas civilizações industriais, perpassando os significados e representações no senso comum já estudados pela ciência psicológica e sendo analisados pela interpolação do sujeito do inconsciente, movido pelas pulsões e pelo desejo. Lê-se que o dinheiro não se constitui somente enquanto objeto com efeitos pulsional e representacional do sujeito, mas é detentor de uma capacidade estruturante sobre o psiquismo, se instituindo como cifra da própria constituição do ser. A presença de uma relação ambivalente do sujeito para com o dinheiro, em que o dinheiro se atrela a cenários de dominação e exploração humana é coerente com a impossível harmonia entre o humano e a vida civilizada. A lida do sujeito psicanalítico com o dinheiro não se faz cabível de equilíbrio e harmonia já que o dinheiro amoeda também os antagonismos pulsionais originários.

Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa e à Inovação Tecnológica do Estado de Sergipe - FAPITEC/SE / This research integrates the investigations with regard to the Anthropological Theory and seeks to identify convergences, divergences, incorporations and congenerous relations between two knowledges which are Structural Anthropology and the Psychoanalysis. To that, we took as empiric object the work of the french anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, exponent of the structuralism in Anthropology and we elected, by cutting off, his critics and parallels presented in some of his texts in relation to Sigmund's Freud work. The chapters were conducted by discussions such as the notion of unconsciousness, interdisciplinarity among the theories, incest's interdiction and consciousness' autonomy. / Esta pesquisa integra as investigações pertinentes à Teoria Antropológica e busca identificar convergências, divergências, incorporações e relações congêneres entre dois saberes, quais sejam, a Antropologia Estrutural e a Psicanálise. Para tanto, tomamos como objeto empírico a obra do antropólogo francês Claude Lévi-Strauss, expoente do estruturalismo na Antropologia e elegemos por recorte as suas críticas e paralelos presentes em alguns de seus textos em relação à obra de Sigmund Freud. Os capítulos foram norteados por discussões como noção de inconsciente, interdisciplinaridade nas teorias, interdição do incesto e autonomia da consciência.

A presente tese pretende elaborar um modelo libertário em criminologia psicanalítica, buscando uma articulação entre a criminologia psicanalítica e o paradigma criminológico da reação social. Assim, pretende-se construir uma criminologia psicanalítica que, em vez de questionar-se sobre o que leva a pessoa a cometer o crime, associando criminalidade e psicopatologia, coloque seu ferramental teórico a serviço da desconstrução e deslegitimação do sistema punitivo. Ademais, a tese aborda aspectos propriamente clínicos, traçando encaminhamentos para a constituição de uma clínica psicanalítica da vulnerabilidade, tendente a propiciar o fortalecimento do indivíduo perante o sistema punitivo. Para tanto, a tese realiza uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as obras de Sigmund Freud e seus discípulos imediatos, a fim de demonstrar que o modelo criminológico legitimante da punição não se coaduna com a psicanálise freudiana. A partir dessa constatação e da colocação dos desafios consubstanciados no advento do paradigma da reação social, a tese traça encaminhamentos para a instrumentalização da psicanálise em direção à crítica das práticas punitivas institucionais. / This thesis aims to develop a libertarian model in psychoanalytic criminology, seeking a link between the psychoanalytic criminology and the criminological paradigm of social reaction. Thus, the thesis aims to built a psychoanalytic criminology that, instead of questioning about what drives a person to commit the crime, linking crime and psychopathology, puts its theoretical tools in service of the deconstruction and the delegitimization of the punitive system. Moreover, the thesis addresses properly clinical subjects, tracing referrals to the constitution of a \"psychoanalytic clinic of vulnerability\", aimed at providing the empowerment of the individual before the punitive system. Therefore, the thesis makes a review on the works of Sigmund Freud and his immediate disciples, in order to demonstrate that the criminological model that legitimates punishment is inconsistent with Freudian psychoanalysis. Based on this findings and placing the challenges embodied in the advent of the paradigm of social reaction, the thesis traces referrals to the instrumentalization of psychoanalysis toward the critic of institutional punitive practices.

ABSTRACT An attempt to put the horror writer H. P. Lovecraft on the map of psychoanalytical criticism, this analysis examines Lovecraft’s use of setting, characters, and narrative mode and structure in “The Call of Cthulhu” (1926) to show how his construction of horror has its ground in psychology, or, more specifically, in ideas of identity and violated boundaries of the self. In addition, brief reflections on Modernist art, its connections with psychoanalysis, and its analogies to Lovecraftian imagery are provided in order to show the echoes of the Zeitgeist in Lovecraft’s horrors. Although Lovecraft made claims for the universality of the horror he depicted, the present analysis also maps its specific and time-bound characteristics. / e-mail: lordlabil@hotmail.com

The ubiquity of the ‘Nazi’ – the fictional Doppelgänger of the historical Nazi – in the various media of popular culture is both disturbing and fascinating. There is an important relationship between the ‘Nazi’ and its audience; related to but separate from the historical Nazi, the creation and reception of the ‘Nazi’ both enables and exemplifies the continual processing of the past. Using a purpose-built framework (concept and terminology) for the study of the ‘Nazi’ as a phenomenon in and of itself, in combination with Freud’s concept of the uncanny, this thesis examines the dynamics of the relationship between the ‘Nazi’ and its audience in four examples: television episodes “Deaths-Head Revisited,” “He’s Alive” (The Twilight Zone), and “Patterns of Force” (Star Trek); and Serdar Somuncu’s performances/readings of Mein Kampf. The temporal and geographical context of the episodes (1960s America) seem far removed from Somuncu’s performances (1990s/2000s Germany), but analysing the production and effects of the uncanny moments generated in each case reveals a provocative raison d’être that spans across the geographical and temporal divide. / Graduate / 0311 / 0900

This essay provides an analysis of the novel When Nietzsche Wept written by Irvin D. Yalom. The novel takes place during the late eighteen hundred century in Vienna and throughout this essay I explore how Yalom has created a setting, where he has placed some of most prominent philosophers of this time in his fictional world in order to educate the reader about the birth of psychoanalysis and give an alternative version to how it emerged. I argue that Yalom manages to implement different original theories in connection to psychoanalysis to show how the ideas circulating at that point in history contributed to the development of psychoanalysis. The essay compares the original theories of Freud, Breuer and Nietzsche to those brought forward by the characters and illustrates the similarities in order to support Yalom´s alternative version. In conclusion, this essay demonstrates how Yalom has created an alternative version of the development of psychoanalysis by blending original theories with fictive events in order to show how psychoanalysis was a zeitgeist of its time and had more than one founding father.

In this essay, I study how the artist is portrayed in the works of August Strindberg and Ingmar Bergman. I compare Strindberg’s novels The Romantic Organist (1888) and By the Open Sea (1890) with Bergman’s The Hour of the Wolf (1968) and Fanny and Alexander (1982). It should be noted that I’m focusing on the film manuscripts (“Filmberättelser”) of Bergman rather than the films.  My aim is to study how the works of Strindberg and Bergman correspond in regards to the artist motif. Strindberg’s influence on the works of Ingmar Bergman has been wildly recognized among scholars and critics for decades, but no extensive study has before been made on the subject of the artist.

In this essay Jon Fosse’s novel Trilogien is explored through the lens of Sigmund Freud’s well-known paper titled “Das Unheimliche”. Fosse has a significant style of writing, which is argued to have a vital influence on the content, specifically the characters and the time. The reading of Freud’s text helps to illuminate the ways in which Fosse’s story is operating on multiple levels at once. The first chapter of the analysis concerns the characters of the book, and how they can be understood by the motif of the double brought from Freud’s essay. It seems that the subject's whole being, and the story alike, is gliding. Subjects aren’t fixed in the world of Trilogien, and with the double motif we understand how that is contributing to the uncanniness felt when reading the book. Time is also not truly reliable here, it is more relative and elastic than the external world. Occurrences keep happening over and over, which are analyzed through Freud’s motif of repetition. When applied, we can see how the legacy of the family and the trauma of experience gives an explanation of how time functions in Trilogien. Lastly, the chapter of form is connected to both of the earlier chapters. Just like subjects and time are repeated, so is the text in itself with sentences being almost circular rather than linear. The story is having a hard time getting through all the worldly repetition, which seems to spill over into the content itself, creating a holistic being whose parts are drifting into each other.
