SHIRAKAVA, Rafael da Silva  e  DIONISIO, Gustavo Henrique. Psychoanalysis and authoritarianism: interactions between unheimliche in Greud and fascism in Adorno and Horkheimer. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.50, pp.103-119. ISSN 2175-1390.

ABSTRACT After all, what makes enlightened people act in a hostile and violent manner against those who are strange to them? Seeking to answer this question, the aim of this article is to analyze the concept of Unheimliche in the Freudian theory and its political implications in the Critical Theory of Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, considering that the concept passes through significant reflections of these authors about their conception of a potentially authoritarian personality. For this purpose, the chosen method was the bibliographic review by which we analyzed some elements that assist us on the comprehension of the violence against the Uncanny (Unheimliche), based on the thoughts of both Sigmund Freud and the Frankfurtian thinkers. From this theoretical approach, we concluded that there is a need to amplify the debate about fascism, considering that its resurgence in the first decades of this century indicates its imminent danger.
