Abstract

COLABONE, Marta Raquel  and  PRADO, Luiz Eduardo. To locate the death drive concept: forgotten minute of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Society. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.1, pp.200-210. ISSN 0486-641X.

We try to locate here the concept of death drive here. Among existing sources, we have the letters of Freud and the sparse Minutes of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, annotated by young psychoanalysts who attended. One of them is precious, in that it transcribes Freud's sayings about the death drive when the Society discusses Civilization and its Discontents. On this occasion, Freud introduces a paradox that is easily understood based on his references to literature.

Keywords : death drive; play; fantastic tale; Freud; Lou Andreas-Salomé.
