WEINMANN, Amadeu de Oliveira  e  CULAU, Fábio Vacaro. Notes on political correctness. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp. 628-645. ISSN 1808-4281.

The article seeks to resume the debate on political correctness (PC), since this is a central issue concerning the struggle over the constitution of the contemporary subject. In this sense, it examines the main criticisms addressed to PC by the reviewed authors, so as to give an account of the current state of this discussion. Following, it focus on the relationship between PC and humor, taking Freudian conceptual elaboration as a reference on the matter. Finally, it analyses some of the conditions for the formation of PC discourse, in order to highlight its limits and possibilities. The hypothesis of this work is that, as much in terms of its theoretical premises as in what concerns its intervention strategies, it is possible - and desirable - to reinvent PC.

Palavras-chave : political correctness; humor; Freud.
