(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) MONTEIRO, Henrique Moura; SOUZA, Maurício Rodrigues de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4730551301673902
This research grew out of unease before a phenomenon that shows the fascination of men who relate to Real Dolls. These models perfectly simulate height, weight, shape, texture, color, sex, like “flesh and blood”, however are made of “metal and silicone”. The dolls, however, are not mere sex toys, as often acquire the function of date, which putting into question the very dimension of otherness. This relationship constructed artificially, therefore, works as thrower of questions about the other and the present. Thus, the objective of this study was to propose a theoretical discussion of psychoanalytic slant, about the notion of otherness in contemporary culture. To do this, I followed the line of key questions: Who are the other and otherness? What is its place in today's culture? Would be otherness threatened by simulacrum? How to think about “denial of otherness” through the prism of Postmodernity? Following the conductive direction, put into focus the complexities of “other” at the same time familiar and strange, configured from a “stranger to me” and a “estranger in me” – referring to the radical otherness that constitutes the self, the unconscious. The reference to the present starts from the clash between modern and postmodern, where it emphasizes the concern of a society that is governed by the spectacle of a narcissistic and a person extremely individualistic, hedonistic and consumerist. Acquire space in this context the figure of "artificial other" which follows the perverse logic of predation that sets the primacy of the self at the expense of otherness. Thus, the other reveals an artifice of otherness artifice and a presence or absence that plays with the appearances of the present and conceals its "body" in an apparent familiarity. Though, the otherness persists and moves, supporting the other as an element that disrupts and eliminate the structure of the person, giving to the contemporary malaise a special place to the otherness. Then, the other is on the one hand, disposable, because the logic narcissistic proclaims the self-sufficiency of the self-ideal, while on the other hand, is a key part of the show. It is important to consider, therefore, that the place of otherness is guaranteed, though camouflaged by the indifference, contrary to the impression transmitted by panorama that makes you understand our extinction.

Suicídio, da identificação com a mãe morta ao resgate narcísico: um estudo psicanalítico do personagem Richard Brown do filme As horas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) FERREIRA, Maria Cristina da Silva; CHAVES, Ernani Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5741253213910825
The theme of such Dissertation is suicide as a consequence of identification with the dead mother. It is a theoretical research based on the psycho-analytical theory which recurs to the analysis of the character Richard Brown, from the motion picture The Hours, in order to illustrate the theoretical argument that the identification revival with the dead mother may be an unlinking factor for the suicide of the melancholic patient in the adult life. Initially, it is tried to explicit the dead mother concept, characterized as a mother who, even when present, is quite absent as for the cares and love investment towards the child due to her depression. Thus, to the child, the maternal image shall be one of a lifeless mother, a dead mother. It shows identification with the dead mother as a psychic defense to the traumatic situation provoked by the maternal love underinvestment. The child, in the relationship with the mother, lives a psychic catastrophe which Green has called narcissist trauma, what will determine the fate of the libidinal, objective and narcissist investment of the individual. Hence, melancholy is considered a psycho-pathology, manifested at an adult age by the individual subjugated by the complex of the dead mother. The study of melancholy in the Mourning and Melancholy of Freud furnishes subsidies to the understanding of the inner world processes of those ones who want to terminate their own existence. Melancholy evidences the struggle between the I and the Super-I on the roles of accuser and accused ones. It shows that the Super-I becomes sadistic when asking for perfection to the masochist I narcissistically impoverished by the identification with the dead mother. When it gets to the sadistic borders, such struggle leads the I, identified with the dead mother, to desire to eliminate the object badly introduced to a part of the I, in order to rescue its idealized narcissist value. It points out suicide as the psychical exit found by the melancholic patient to get free from the identification with the dead mother. It is concluded that in the suicide, the unconscious conflicts manifested in the adult life are revivals of the psychic contents registered in childhood. In this paper, the revival of the identification with the dead mother would have been the unlinking factor of suicide of Richard Brown in his adult life.
