Psicanálise e antropologia: a metafísica ameríndia e a compreensão da psicose

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate and identify the possible contributions of the field of anthropology to the field of psychoanalysis regarding the studies of psychosis in Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan and its interlocution with Amerindian metaphysics in synthesis by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. It aimed to understand the question of neurotic-centrism in relation to psychosis and its possibilities for decentering. The study is justified by the need to produce inquiries regarding the exclusion of the psychotic and the construction of a psychoanalysis that can follow new paradigms and contradictions of its time, articulating with other fields of knowledge, such as contemporary anthropology. The research hypothesis is that psychosis would be captured by a neurotic idea of reality and, therefore, would serve exclusion in the social bond. The research is characterized as theoretical and qualitative, using the psychoanalysis research method. The results obtained trace an epistemological path leading to the relevance of the notion of reality in the debate of neurotic-centrism and formalize two proposals for the decolonization of psychosis. It is concluded that psychosis must be understood as a singular and specific structure, in addition to being recognized as a radical alterity that must be maintained for the coexistence of worlds
