O ensaio investiga os pressupostos filosóficos e críticos de dois modos de conceber a representação literária dos sonhos, contrapondo as obras de André Breton ao livro de protocolos oníricos de Adorno, com o objetivo de refletir sobre o sentido do surrealismo e as relações entre arte, sociedade e psicanálise.
The purpose of the text is to present an interpretation of Theodor Adorno’s critical reading of authors considered revisionists of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, particularly Karen Horney. We discuss critically Adorno’s favorable positioning to the Freudian conception of the individual psychic nucleus in contrast to the hasty sociologization of psychoanalysis practiced by the revisionism of Karen Horney. In the final part we try to show how the Adornian perspective ends up by making, in his own way, the same mistake of a hasty sociologization of psychoanalysis he imputed to the revisionists and advocates an theoretical emphasis on the sociological realm that seems also problematic.
