L'inconscient à la croisée du singulier et de la culture

Abstract

Unconscious often emerges like question or like response facing the difficult articulation between mind and culture. This difficulty which is exacerbated when it's confronted to difference of civilizations, as testifies Freud, for instance in its approach of Islam, appears again in quite another way in ethnopsychiatric theory. The author questions here the blind points of the binary logic of unconscious supported by G. Devereux, logic which ends up leading to the traps that himself even denounced. This advance leads the author to open other prospects by laying another glance on the unconscious which can be apprehensible only by starting from the language and of its dialectical, on crossing of singular and culture.
