Abstract

MANDELBAUM, Enrique. Notes on Psychoanalysis in times of algorithms. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.60, pp. 145-159. ISSN 0101-3106.

The author uses a chronicle of Clarice Lispector, "Os segredos" [The secrets] (1973) in order to meet a frame inside which he begins a personal reflection on the psychoanalytical clinic in a culture that privileges the instantaneity of the electronic communication. And he brings some ideas from Freud's Mass psychology and the analysis of the ego to his reflection on the state of affairs in our contemporaneity. Clinical vignettes, films and personal experiences offer the material to the psychoanalytical inquiry.

Keywords : Psychoanalytical clinic; Internet; Mass psychology; Analysis of the ego; Avatar; Edward Snowden.
