History of psychoanalysis in Latin America or history of Latin American psychoanalysis? Some historiographic reflections.
The talk will focus on the recovery of some aspects of the social and cultural history of psychoanalysis in Latin America during the first half of the 20th century. Based on different testimonies – among them the correspondence and exchanges of Sigmund Freud with some intellectuals and early adherents – it will seek to show the particularities of the modes of reception and use of Freud’s ideas in this part of the world, today central to psychoanalysis worldwide.
