Talking about psychology in Nietzsche already generates enough controversy, it is even more so if we conceive that possibility as a prepsychoanalytic psychology. However, the possibility of conceiving psychology itself in the approaches of the German philosopher is not unthinkable, nor strange. Similarly, observing his proposal as a precursor to psychoanalysis is a task that has already been tackled on numerous occasions, both by Freud himself and his disciples, and in recent research. Despite the above, in this article, I distance myself from those readings by Nietzsche as a precursor to psychoanalysis, and I raise the possibility of a differentiated psychology in his work.

From the plot of La hojarasca, we analyze the act of uprising that seeks to oppose the scavenging jouissance of the people. In the novel, the dispute is over the corpse of a doctor who is to be denied burial. Following the voice of the child as narrator of the story, we move towards the fatality that is transmitted generationally in the history of violence in Colombia, whose correlate is represented in the tragedy of Antigone. This paper seeks to unravel the rhetorical function of the hero of the tragedy and to wonder about the consequences of the contagion of the unburied dead. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using text commentary as a research tool, configurations of authority in some passages of Freudian discourse are questioned and deconstructed. From hysterical questioning of medical authority to super-egoic tyranny, we find variants of transgressive subversion and positions of joyful servitude. A critical reading of the condition of the Ego oscillating between revolt and vassalage is undertaken. It is essential to problematize the Freudian episteme around issues such as the authorities of love, reality testing, narcissistic ideals, moral conscience and the Super-ego that cultivates specific ethics in women and communities.
