Libidinal economy and subjectivity. Plot and de-link of the socio-political

Abstract

This paper attempts to outline some fundamental ethical and political consequences that psychoanalysis would bring. For this we've gone through some Freudian texts, gravitating preferentially around his socio-political and anthropological texts. After grading succinctly what Freud understands as libidinal economy, it will be advanced an hypotheses about the relationships between mental formation and the cultural process, namely about the production of subjectivity and its relation with the intersubjective links. Afterwards we analyze, from there, some theses on the subject and the status of politics in Freud.
