Abstract

PASTORE, Jassanan Amoroso Dias et al. ide: Psychoanalysis and culture: an history to tell.... Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.46, pp. 128-131. ISSN 0101-3106.

With an intention to rescue and to establish the landmarks of ide editorial guidelines, which have been revolving around the dialogue between psychoanalysis and culture since the journal was first issued, we used as a resource the article "Does a psychoanalist deal with social problems?", by Deodato Curvo de Azambuja, originally printed in ide number 1, in 1975, and at the same time we retrieved our contact with that author, in an interview for ide 46 about that article having as subject the Culture itself. There we make clearly evident the place that the culture occupies both in theory and in clinical practice, by means of thoughts which developed out of the news report "The city is afraid of itself", published in O Estado de S. Paulo, together with ideas about the need and social value of psychoanalysis, which were already being discussed more than 30 years ago. We address and elaborate on the ideas of State of exception, of Giorgio Agamben, and "panic-cities", of the philosopher and urbanist Paul Virilio, in which exclusion, the very "foreclusion", have become ways of life in the megalopolis.

Keywords : The banality of evil; Panic-city; State of exception; ide history; Psychoanalysis and culture.
