AVELAR, André Soares Pereira. A review of the concept of ego in contemporary clinic. Cad. psicanal. []. 2020, 42, 42, pp.173-188. ISSN 1413-6295.
The purpose of this paper is to carry out, based on the Ferenczian concept of ego, considerations on some aspects of contemporary subjectivity. I have aimed at articulating certain aspects of psychism with the subject of virtuality in an attempt to circumscribe the specificity of the psychic operation nowadays, a time when the economics of desire is questioned. I will employ the expression "net-ego" as a hypothesis, whose purpose is to propose a link between some features of the Ferenczian ego and the theme of virtuality, which is currently a very relevant issue of our culture.
