Cuerpo y conflicto en la obra de León Rozitchner. Psicoanálisis, Marxismo y crítica de la cultura

Abstract

This paper aims at providing a reflection on the theory of the subject and the criticism of Christian
and bourgeois morality that appear in part of the work of León Rozitchner. To do so, special atten‐
tion is paid to the idea of corporality and the peculiar function of memory in this conceptual
framework. The first part of this text outlines the synthesis between historical materialism and psy‐
choanalysis that Rozitchner built in orderto understand Oedipus in sociopolitical terms. The second
part starts with the enrichment of that basic schema via an interpretation of the work of Carl von
Clausewitz. The resultant pattern can enlighten a near historical context, namely the “Peronismo”.
In third place, the space of subjectivity understood as an index of historical truth is tested as a cate‐
gory of theoretical analysis with regards to the war over sovereignty on Malvinas Islands, and thus
shows its ineluctable entity. A second complementary work, which will analyze the latter part of
Rozitchner´s theoretical production, is currently under preparation.
