Abstract
HOENISCH, Julio Cesar Diniz; PACHECO, Pedro José and CIRINO, Carlos da Silva. Transgression, crime, neurosciences: impasses to the knowledge of psychoanalysis?. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2009, n.32, pp.81-90. ISSN 0100-3437.
This article addresses some issues developed by the flourishing of neuroscience, an assumed consuming of psychoanalysis in face of this revolution, articulating an epistemological position from both fields of knowledge on the subject, contemporary society and criminality. It discusses also the construction an early “criminal” diagnostic and abundantly spread by the media without empirical foundations, resulting in a wrong perception of the criminal and builds a “magical” representation of the psi area and the way it works. Finally, it points to the difficulties of psychoanalysis in the face of contemporary needs and totalitarian speeches, both mystical / religious as radical neuroscience, indicating that ethics is the necessary way for a reflection about the existential polices and maintenance of the psi area as responsible for spreading these practical in an implied way.
