Abstract
Description
Esta ponencia pretende abordar el problema de la xenofobia a partir de los aportes teóricos de la teoría psicoanalítica freudiana y lacaniana. En ésta se propone una interpretación del resurgimiento de este fenómeno a partir del concepto freudiano del “narcisismo de las pequeñas diferencias” y la formulación lacaniana del estadio del espejo y la constitución del registro imaginario del yo. Finalmente, se propone que una alternativa a este problema se encuentra en la propuesta de la democracia agonística planteada por Mouffe.
This paper examines the problem of xenophobia based on the contributions to psychoanalytical theory made by Freud and Lacan. It proposes an interpretation of this phenomenon using the Freudian concept of “narcissism of small differences”, the Lacanian theory of the mirror stage and his explanation of the imaginary formation of the ego. Finally, it suggests that an alternative to confront this problem can be found in the political alternative of agonistic democracy made by Mouffe.
