Psicanálise e o avesso do racismo

Abstract

This research aims to articulate the issue of racism from psychoanalysis. I felt called to make this interlocution in front of the speeches of black people who, when assisted by psychoanalysts, reported racist situations. Based on this scenario, it is possible to think about what the psychoanalyst can do in face of such an indentity issue, as well as what is the psychoanalyst's implication in the analytical setting regarding racial issues. The path chosen to think about this issue was the construction of identifications of blackness through identity groups, and their political-collective importance at the beginning of the research, so that we can then deal with what the subject of psychoanalysis is and how the analysis works towards the fall of identifications and the subjective destitution of the subject. Clinical fragments and reports from students from the pre-university entrance course at the Núcleo de Consciência Negra, where the researcher acts as a mediator in the conversation circle, will be brought along to illustrate and contribute to the proposed articulation between structural racism and psychoanalysis
