| Abstract | |
The present research aimed to study the concept of Unheimliche (the Uncanny) within the freudian theory and its possible connections with the Frankfurt School, the Critical Theory of Society, for the comprehension of fascism, mainly concerning the production and elimination of otherness in the administered society. Considering this, we analysed the objective and subjective mechanisms that assist the production of a potentially authoritarian personality. Thus, we concluded, by an analysis of the works of Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969) and, above all, the social metapsychology of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), that the authoritarianism is a latent phenomenon inside the administered society. Its rise derives, primarily, from the social conditions that permeate the damaged life and produce, in the individual, a rarefied critical thought about these conditions and, principally, about himself, contributing to the insertion of authoritarian groups that, to a large extent, are based on hate speeches. From this, we emphasized the need of debating and unraveling of the mechanisms that still make possible a regression to the barbarity, since its causes were not yet eliminated, demanding, as a response to this, an exhaustive analysis of these determinations.
