Extraterritorialidade psicanalítica na cena social: Entre resistências e o Psicanalismo

Abstract

Psychoanalysis, known for its subversive nature, not only resisted but also adapted during times of threat to individual freedoms. Despite intentional erasure from the sociopolitical scene, it remains associated with social extraterritoriality within Psicanalismo. Amid political, ideological, and silencing dynamics, we traced the origins of psychoanalysis to its establishment in Brazil and its boom during the Civil-Military Dictatorship. Our historical research was grounded in the psychoanalytic method, applied to interpret and connect historical facts with the present. Between resistance and Psicanalismo, we explored the stances of SBPSP, SPBRJ, and SPRJ from 2016 to 2023, focusing on events that impacted democracy. We categorized our study into four key moments: the 2016 impeachment, the 2018 elections, the 2022 elections, and the 2023 Attacks on the Three Powers. Analyzing online publications by these societies, we observed the persistence of neutrality and apoliticism in maintaining the establishment. In 2016, the societies expressed themselves through universities, concealing their sociopolitical engagement and highlighting their extraterritoriality. Manifestos from 2018 reveal critical impoverishment and the masking of psychoanalysis' political implications in defending democracy as a fundamental right. In 2022, neutrality sparked objections to institutional impartiality and accusations of partisanship. By 2023, pronouncements increased, likely due to post-election apolitical shielding. Our conclusion: extraterritoriality and Psicanalismo coexist in the field through unwavering neutrality, which unquestionably represents the ideological conformity of psychoanalytic practice.
