Abstract

This study aims to problematize psychoanalysis as a method of interrogation of the subject, proposing a reflection on the ways that psychoanalysis itself carries a Utopian vocation, whilst being a political tool, from its view about the subject and the proposition of an ethic. We aim to examine how economic regimes formed subjectivities. Resistance movements to these types of life silencing logic have emerged, opening new symbolic spaces to think about Utopian practices and their ethical reverberations to the politics of life.
