TUPINAMBA, Gabriel. Psychoanalysis as labour: an impossible profession and the Marxist conception of labor. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2014, vol.46, n.1, pp. 27-43. ISSN 0101-4838.

The present paper seeks to begin an investigation concerning the statute of the profession of the psychoanalyst and of its difficult relation to the State, a study undertaken from the perspective of the Marxist theory of labor-value. Our philosophical exercise strives to avoid the establishment of analogical relations between these two fields of thought, and points to a rather different sort of solidarity between them, insofar as the Marxist conception of a contradictory labor form allows us to think the position of the analyst from a new perspective and psychoanalysis, on the other hand, allows us to problematize and develop certain obscure determinations of the concept of abstract labour.

Palabras clave : desire of the analyst; demand; abstract labor; Aristotelian modalities.
