CORREA, Mario Luiz Prudente. Soliloquies with a burnt matchstick: notes from the coffee break. J. psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.99, pp. 43-58. ISSN 0103-5835.

Freud's original intuitions became vertical in theoretical-clinical depths and horizontalized becoming popular. In both directions, the movement brought new challenges for communication, both in an elongated sense, with the general public, and in a lateral sense, of dialogue between peers. Apprehensions that privilege disjunctions, and not caesuras between new epistemological developments and established theories can contribute to a feeling of dispersive expansion of the universe of discourse in psychoanalysis. Finally, we analyze the challenge that represents the vulgarization of brilliant formulations, subject to a process of epistemological kitschization and subtraction of its subversive aspects.

Keywords : genius; social myth; establishment; metapsychology; kitsch.
