TEORÍA FREUDIANA SOBRE LA CULTURA: LA GRAN FECHORÍA, LO AMBIGUO, Y LA FRATERNIDAD.

This paper is a theoretical contribution which seeks to clarify, analyze and develop some Sigmund Freud's ideas about culture and the social processes. The paper preferably uses three Freudian texts: "Totem and Taboo", "The Future of an Illusion" and "Civilization and Its Discontents". An analysis of each one of them is provided, and then some lines of social analysis about the paternal issue, the phratry, the gender perspective, and the relationship established between the individual and society are suggested. It is necessary to indicate that Freud's work is neither simple nor lineal, but the ambiguous and complex predominates in it, articulating original concepts and ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
