O inconsciente: da metapsicologia ao problema da moralidade no campo da interdição

Abstract

In this paper it will be analyzed how it proceeded the theoretical reformulations of Freud culminating in the division of the psychic apparatus developed in The Ego and the Id (1923), going through the series of improvements of the concept of Unconscious throughout Freud’s studies. Thus, we observed an overcoming of the systematic division elaborated in the first topic in Ucs, Pcs and Cs, in favor of a rich interaction between instances Id, Ego and Super-ego, which constitute the second topic and its more sophisticated mental modeling , in order to understand how the mental processes functionate healthy and pathologically, through the drive dynamics Eros and Tanatos. We investigated the privileged position of the notion of death drive as a result of the whole theoretical construction process that permeates Freud's topics, in order to understand how the interaction between the psychic instances Id, Ego and Super-ego direct us to think of civilization as we attempt to interdict the drives, and thus we think the problem of civilization and moral malaise is a result of this interdict. Finally, we explore the notion of repetition compulsion and observe that the drive, although it does not inscribe itself in the subject's psychic apparatus, is what is repeated, is what insists on appearing. Amid this persistence of the drive, it is due to the figure of the other that the subject will give in to your desire, and the critical instance superego, on the other hand, will require more and more pulsional waivers.
