Abstract

GIOVANNETTI, Marcio de Freitas. About ballast, weight, and lightness in the psychoanalytic institution. J. psicanal. [online]. 2016, vol.49, n.91, pp. 25-32. ISSN 0103-5835.

Taking the myth of Perseus as the reference point for his paper, the author writes a brief overview on the psychoanalytic institution in general. When the author writes about the psychoanalytic institution of São Paulo, he emphasizes its moments and founding acts, from which all the institutional "ballast" and weight would derive. The author believes everybody must critically distinguish that ballast from that weight in order to enable Psychoanalysis to keep its original vigor.

Keywords : ballast; weight; lightness; city; subject.
