Why You're Not Free: Sociology Meets Psychoanalysis on the Individual vs the Subject
Are you truly the master of your own actions? This video unpacks a groundbreaking dialogue between sociology and psychoanalysis, revealing how your 'individual' self is shaped by society while your 'subject' self is driven by unconscious forces. Drawing from Denise Maria de Oliveira Lima's research, we explore how concepts like habitus (from Bourdieu and Elias) and Freudian identification trap you in a web of social conditioning and hidden desires. Discover why absolute freedom is an illusion, how moral responsibility extends to your unconscious, and why critical self-reflection is the only path to real liberation. This isn't just theory—it's a wake-up call to understand the invisible chains that bind you.
