CAMARA, Leonardo Cardoso Portela and HERZOG, Regina. An imaginary prelude to Thalassa. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp.244-260. ISSN 1808-4281.
We intend to carry out an incursion through the main theses from the controversial ‘Thalassa: a theory of genitality', a work by Sándor Ferenczi published in 1924. Often considered a strange and extravagant work, we propose a new reading, starting from a proposition: 'Thalassa' demands the abandonment of customary ways of thinking.
Keywords : Ferenczi; catastrophe; utraquismo; phylogenesis; psychoanalysis.
