NISHIKAWA, Eunice. Crowds and power: from packs to paranoia. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.57, pp. 55-71. ISSN 0101-3106.

The author highlights in the book Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti, some aspects related to the packs as the most primitive human groupings, the concept of power and the relationship between the masses to orders. Canetti draws a parallel between these aspects of masses with Schreber's case study. This approach has allowed better understanding of role of the mass on the psychology of individuals and an expansion of the psychoanalytical investigation field. The Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001 - A Space Odyssey, was used as a frame for this article.
