È possibile ricostruire il pensiero di un personaggio poliedrico e camaleontico come Umberto Eco? Stefano Traini, uno dei suoi allievi che oggi insegna Semiotica, ci prova in questo libro: parte dalla tesi di laurea di Eco sul pensiero estetico in Tommaso d’Aquino, prosegue con i suoi studi sulle avanguardie e sulla cultura di massa con i quali si è affermato negli anni sessanta e arriva alla teoria semiotica nella quale Eco affronta con metodo scientifico lo studio dei segni, dei codici, dell’interpretazione.

Lacan renovou a psicanálise e a aproximou das ciências humanas, como a linguística.

Die Boomer nehmen Abschied. Wer zwischen 1955 und 1970 in der Zeit der geburtenstarken Jahrgänge zur Welt gekommen ist, hat den Ruhestand erreicht oder zählt zu den Älteren, die nach und nach ihre Posten freimachen. Die Boomer verbindet das Gefühl, dass es zu viele von ihnen gibt, das spürten sie schon in überfüllten Klassenzimmern und später auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Daraus resultierte eine Haltung der Skepsis, und die Erfahrung von AIDS und Tschernobyl hat sie in einer entscheidenden Phase ihrer Biografie gelehrt, dass nichts gesichert und gar nichts garantiert ist.

Por trás de todos os tormentos humanos, existe uma relação conflituosa com o aspecto sexual. Esta é uma das crenças de Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise e um dos teóricos mais influentes do século XX. O médico alemão revolucionou o tratamento para as neuroses e deu início ao mais importante aspecto da psicologia: a escuta. Sem isso, a prática clínica— como conhecemos hoje — seria inviável, e Freud teria sido incapaz de teorizar sobre o inconsciente, a sexualidade e os sonhos.

We see it every day. Sometimes we offer the change in our pocket. Sometimes we simply look away and go about our day. But the issues remain the same.

Carl Jung sigue vigente por su influencia como creador de la psicología profunda y audaz comentarista de los símbolos a través de las culturas. En su paso por el psicoanálisis contribuyó a definir criterios terapéuticos y un método propio para la interpretación de los sueños. Luego se embarcó en una original exploración alternativa del inconsciente, relacionándolo con los mitos colectivos y personales, hasta llegar al concepto de “arquetipo”. La vida de Jung es fascinante porque su aventura intelectual se mezcla con viajes realmente intensos por distintas regiones del mundo.

La obra y la vida de Sigmund Freud siguen dando tela para cortar. Fue tanto su impacto en la cultura occidental (y más allá) como variadas son las controversias alrededor de su legado. El fundador del psicoanálisis colocó al inconsciente en el centro de la escena. Con ese punto de partida armó teorías que modificaban las maneras de entender la psiquis, la familia, la sociedad y el arte. Miles de terapeutas se siguen formando en base a sus enseñanzas, mientras que otras corrientes lo critican fuertemente. La biografía de Freud ayuda a comprender cómo fue su trayectoria y qué objetivos perseguía con el psicoanálisis.
