Abstract

MENDES, Eliana Rodrigues Pereira. The uncanny inside us, the intolerance to difference. Reverso [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.78, pp. 45-54. ISSN 0102-7395.

The author makes a review of the text “Das Unheimliche”, pointing to the fact that with the Freudian notion of unconscious, the appearance of the uncanny in the psyche loses its pathological aspect and is an integrant part of it. As we are divided beings, the uncanny is unside us. She adresses the current issue of foreigners and migrants especially those who return to colonizing matrices. This fact, in her opinion, constitutes a return of repressed, because the primitive hatred drives, lived from part to part, are reupdated in such situation. She concludes by saying that Psychoanalysis is subversive and libertarian, so can bring a light to this intolerance to difference. The more we are conscious of our uncanny aspects, the more we can tolerate their presence in the other

Keywords : Unheimliche; Freudian inconscious; Repression/return of repressed; Foreigners/migrants; Tolerance/intolerance.
