Descrição
Resumo:The article examines three psychoanalytic practices, casuistry, listening and remembering, that can have anti-colonial effects and challenge the universalism of Europe. While casuistry allows us to consider a cultural particularity that is irreducible to the universalist pretensions of the West, listening gives a place of subjects to those who have traditionally been seen as objects of European knowledge, and memory can open a space for the present of the precolonial past, thus subverting colonial temporality with its ahistorical presentism. The conclusion draws a distinction between psychoanalytic practice with its anti-colonial potential and Freudian metapsychology that inevitably corresponds to European conceptions of subjectivity, proposing to study other conceptions, such as those indigenous to America.
