O conceito de esclarecimento em Horkheimer, Adorno e Freud: apontamentos para um debate
(2011-12) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
This article analyses the concept of enlightenment in Horkheimer, Adorno and Freud. Therefore, it traces a parallel between two of the most representative works of these authors in terms of cultural criticism: The Concept of Enlightenment and The Future of an Illusion, respectively. Although an initial approach might suggest different theoretical perspectives, we emphasize that they can be taken as complementary in defense of a more adequate using of conceptual thought.

Ética e estética da alteridade em Horkheimer, Adorno e Freud: comentários a partir de “elementos do anti-semitismo” e “o inquietante”
(2014-08) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de; BIRMAN, Joel
Adopting as a starting point the reference made by Horkheimer and Adorno in Elements of Anti-Semitism: limits of enlightenment, to the text of Freud named The Uncanny, this work intends to establish some points of contact between them in the important field of studies dedicated to the phenomenon of prejudice. In these terms, it proposes an ethics and aesthetics of alterity that, privileging the dissonance of a strange familiarity, valorize negativeness instead of a positive philosophy whose lights can conduce to absolute totalitarian blindness. The aim here resides in the possibility that, when remitting to the fractures of men's contact to what he takes for real, this movement rescues a tragicity that resists to be appropriated by the longings of dominion and representative commodity adopted both by instrumental reason and by the speeches of intolerance to differences.

Inquietantes traslados: uma leitura psicanalítica do filme Encontros e Desencontros
(2012-12) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
In search of articulations between psychoanalysis and cultural practices – here represented by the magic of cinema - this work proposes an analysis of the movie Lost in Translation, taking it as a privileged interlocutor to a discussion about otherness. More specifically, we will focus on the possibility, present both in analytical clinics and in the movie mentioned above, of an encounter with the unspeakable of the self by the means of a stranger. It's a dialectical clash between the most intimate stranger and the strangest intimate, bounded to the primary process, to the logics of the Unconscious. Therefore, we suggest that although this non-familiarity is in general associated to an uncomfortable anguish, it is possible to consider another expression to it: that one of constructive potency towards an expansion of meaning.

O jogo dos sentidos em psicanálise: alteridade, verdade e construção
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2018-12) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
This article is a contribution to the debate concerning the problem of otherness in psychoanalysis. For this purpose, it focuses on the notion of construction, discussing the dilemma of imposition/negotiation of meaning in the clinical setting through a theoretical research that enhances two specific perspectives: the Freudian original one, closest to the realism of an equivalence between metapsychologies and the expressions of the unconscious, and that other later suggested by Serge Viderman, constructivist and skeptical about the possibilities of well-defined correspondences between clinical phenomena and predetermined theoretical representations. In conclusive terms, after approaching some dialogues proposed by Luís Claudio Figueiredo between psychoanalysis, temporality, narrativity and elements of Heidegger’s philosophy, it defends an interpretative ideal that metabolizes and embodies the speech that is directed to it, but that also supports and holds its inner differences, revealing an availability to the movement of thought itself.

Literatura de autoajuda, sugestão e contemporaneidade: uma leitura psicanalítica
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2018) PEREIRA, Mateus Abreu; SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
One of the phenomena of contemporary times that deserve mention is the high popularity of self-help literature. The works of this genre encourage practices of interpersonal influence, which usually incur in the use of suggestion, criticized by Freud since before the twentieth century. Indeed, using Freudian psychoanalysis as the main theoretical framework, focusing the notion of suggestion and, in a complementary way, the content analysis of a representative work of self-help, this study aimed to analyze some of mechanisms present in such literary genre and discuss the factors that influence its wide acceptance today. Thus, points out that the relationship between author and reader in self-help, guided by psychological processes of identification and transfer in favor of accession to the proposals of the author, allows him continually to renew this promise to lead the reader to success.

Por uma educação antropológica: comparando as idéias de Bronislaw Malinowski e Paulo Freire
(2006-12) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
This article analyses the ideas of Malinowski and Paulo Freire proposing some proximities between anthropology and pedagogy. Among the possibilities resulting from such a meeting, one certainly deserves special attention: the recommendation that anthropologists and teachers should always respect the community knowledge previously acquired by students and "natives" as the real starting point for the construction of science. In this way, it is possible to consider that in both disciplines knowledge be associated with a respect for alterity, a lesson they must share not only with other disciplines, but especially with the wider community.

Psicanálise, antropologia e alteridade: apontamentos para um debate
(2012-03) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
This work privileges the subject of otherness, taking it as a theme for a dialogue between psychoanalysis and anthropology. Therefore, after some considerations about the notion of strangeness in the work of Freud, it emphasizes the idea that the difference imposed by the unconscious owns a narrative and an individual temporality that refuse to obey the principles of representational thought. Because of that the strangeness and the negativeness of the analytic encounter become places of possibility, amplifying the concept of otherness and the capacities of interpretation, now placed in a mid-point between the production of sense and the experience of emptiness. That's the lesson of non-lesson proposed by this uncanny other of the unconscious to anthropology and, in a larger scale, to the social sciences: to admit the possibility of sense, but not necessarily its ending, offering a less compromised expression to a stranger that is now irreducible to pre-established set codes.

Psicologia social e etnografia: histórico e possibilidades de contato
(2015-06) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
Ethnography can be defined as a method of qualitative research that aims to gain an integrative description and understanding of sociocultural phenomena presented in particular groups or communities, according to the terms and attitudes of the group's members. Specifically following this simultaneously technical and ethical dimension of ethnography, this article mainly intends to promote a historical reconstitution of the reappropriation of this modality of field studies by both American and Brazilian social psychologists. Therefore, it focuses on a specific time and institution: the first half of the twentieth century and the Chicago School of Sociology, which is considered here through aspects of the lives and works of three of its principal contributors: Robert Park, George Mead, and Donald Pierson. In conclusion, the article debates some of the specificities of ethnographic practice, and bringing together past and present, defends the relevance of its use in present psychosociological research.

Uma questão de método: origens, limites e possibilidades da etnografia para a psicologia social
(2014-12) SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de
Focusing the subject of research methods in social psychology, this article gravitates around three objectives: to define in detail some of the main characteristics of ethnography, to review the historical background of its origins as a scientifically legitimated practice and, finally, to discuss its utilization nowadays. As a result, it emphasizes not only the limits, but also the possibilities of ethnographical practice, sustaining that the experience of strangeness that traditionally characterized it still carries the dynamics and the critical potential which are necessary to maintain in movement the thought about alterity.
