Abstract
MACIEL, Maria Regina. From "identitary recognition" in Axel Honneth to "self-dispossession" in Judith Butler: subsidies to think about the political dimension of psychoanalysis. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.37, pp.53-64. ISSN 1413-6295.
This paper aims to bring out of the psychoanalytic field its political dimension. This is done considering especially the arguments of two central philosophers that take part in contemporary debates on the theme: Axel Honneth and Judith Butler. It also engages more directly with the psychoanalytic literature and the repercussions of the debate in Brazil. Having psychoanalysis as a steering element and facing the new, more horizontal forms of doing politics, the paper looks for subsidies in the notions of "identitary recognition" of the former author, and of "self-dispossession" of the latter.
