Abstract

PASTORE, Jassanan Amoroso Dias. Love and sexuality: a language misled. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.47, pp.48-53. ISSN 0101-3106.

Based on the novel and film O cheiro do ralo (The smell of the drain), this essay discusses the psychoanalytical concept of sexuality that does not necessarily admit a coincidence between sexuality and love & life, gathered around Eros, and develops the idea of a kind of love that breaks the tie with Eros and connects with the death instinct (Thanatos).

Keywords : Love; Fusion; Enjoyment; Contemporary sexuality.
