My website: https://www.fabricemidal.com Keywords: Moving into the unconscious! Bruno Viard suggests placing the wounds of self-esteem there in place of sex and Oedipus. To do this, he calls upon the best-established traditions of humanity: the Tao, the Mahabharata, the Iliad, the Gospel, Montaigne, the psychoanalysts of the 17th century, Rousseau, Tocqueville and the great unknown of modern psychology: Paul Diel. Where we see that the wounds of self-esteem control the vicissitudes of sexuality. Self-esteem largely overdetermining the appetite for material goods as much as it overdetermines sexual desire, psychoanalysis finds itself decompartmentalized and can finally communicate with sociology. Thus Marcel Mauss occupies the best position to serve as a bridge between these disciplines since a psychology of recognition (self-esteem) underlies the sociology of the gift. We thus arrive at a synthetic anthropology of triangular form which rejects Freudian sexualist hegemony as well as Marxist materialist hegemony, but also the hegemony of self-esteem alone according to René Girard. Bruno VIARD, specialist in romantic literature and social ideas in the 19th century, is Professor of French literature at the University of Aix-Marseille. He collaborates with the journal Psychologie de la motivation and the Revue du MAUSS. He has published in particular: À la source perdue du socialisme français, Desclée de Brouwer; The Three Nephews or Altruism and Selfishness Reconciled (Pierre Leroux, Marcel Mauss, Paul Diel), PUF; Anthology of Pierre Leroux. Inventor of Socialism, Le Bord de L'eau.
