Abstract

BARBIERI, Cibele Prado. The violence of the word: politics, law and truth. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2019, n.52, pp. 45-50. ISSN 0100-3437.

Starting from the Freudian text about the joke, one can read the recent narratives we are faced with to understand the speeches in their peculiar structure and consequences not only at the individual level, but also in the group, in the social and, beyond, at the historical, political and civilizing levels. Freud's analysis of the comic reveals the power of the word and the degree of virulence that it can have in the effects that the law, justice and truth determine in the context of the tragic, its reverse. When the lie is dressed as truth it demands from the subject a comic, caricatural response to support the Real at stake.

Keywords : Politics; Psychoanalysis; Violence; Joke; Perversion; Speech.
