FRANCA NETO, Oswaldo. "Malucos de estrada": subversion and truth . Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp.118-132. ISSN 1677-1168. https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2019v25n1p118-132.
Referring to the documentary film Malucos de estrada, by Rafael Lage, the purpose of this text is to discuss the way the truth of a certain society may take place within it. Counterpointing to what the term "live" would mean for the contemporary Western society and psychoanalysis, it proposes that life is only meaningful if evidenced in the truth that serves as ground for the existence, identified by Freud as being the truth of the unconscious, which would always be presented as a hole in the established knowledge, its subversion. This study proposes that the characters of this documentary film, having in mind that they are presented in the social scenario in a non predicative way, may help us view the truth not as a substantial thing but as something that may only be processed by the subversion of everything presented in subjection to a classificatory and hierarchical logic of a certain society.
