UMEREZ, Osvaldo; BENJAMIN, Alicia  and  RIVAS, Daniela. Some psychoanalytical views about Durkheim. Anu. investig. [online]. 2005, vol.12, pp.271-277. ISSN 1851-1686.

The aim of the following paper is to make a psychoanalytical approach to the contributions of Emile Durkheim to the understanding of the social relationship crisis produced by the "industrial society", highlighting the notions of "anomy" and "infinite evil" which that author used to show the discontent of the man in a society with those characteristics. His standing thought is supported as a way of approaching the present time and a return to the ideas of the author is made through concepts from Freud and Lacan. From Freud, the perspective proposed in connection to the cultural malaise is studied as well as the impossibility of the man to carry out the pleasure principle programme. From Lacan, the notion of the Superego as an imperative of enjoyment, the reappraisal of the concept of castration and the femineity matter are considered. This last issue has been elaborated by the three authors mentioned as an exception to the universal law.

Keywords : Anomy; Infinite evil; Superego; Oedipus; Castration; Femineity and social relationship.
