The problem guiding the investigative thinking was: in what way can psychoanalysis, in dialogue with philosophy, offer an expanded understanding of the psychic conditions that sustain the mass adhesion to tyrannical leaders? The general objective consisted of investigating, through psychoanalytic theory interdisciplinarily combined with philosophy, the social phenomenon of voluntary submission to authoritarian leaderships, with the following specific objectives: to examine the notion of voluntary servitude in Étienne de La Boétie; to characterize psychoanalysis as an instrument of social research; and to present Freudian metapsychological concepts (such as narcissism, ego ideal, ideal ego, masochism, and helplessness) that contribute to the understanding of the bond with the leader. The work employed a qualitative, bibliographical, interdisciplinary, and deconstructive methodology, taking La Boétie's Discourse on Voluntary Servitude as a privileged empirical-discursive object, read in light of contributions from Plato, Spinoza, and Adorno in the philosophical field, and from Sigmund Freud, Joel Birman, and others in the psychoanalytic field. The central hypothesis sustained is that voluntary servitude cannot be understood merely as a political or ideological phenomenon, but must be thought of as an experience inscribed in the psychic economy of subjects: the subject not only obeys, but actively participates in producing their own submission, libidinally investing in the leader, identifying with them, and often finding, in the masochistic bond, an unconscious defense against helplessness. The research demonstrated that the mass organizes itself from affective bonds structured around the ego ideal, a mechanism by which each member renounces their own critical instance and deposits it in the figure of the leader. The narcissism of minor differences, identification with the aggressor, and civilizational malaise appeared as theoretical operators that allowed understanding both the internal cohesion of groups and the systematic hostility directed at the other. Among the findings is that freedom is neither a definitive conquest nor a naturally given state, but a permanent task of subjective elaboration, and that the critique of tyranny, to be effective, cannot do without listening to the unconscious processes that render domination not only tolerable, but desirable.

Author: Zonin, Michele Zanin First advisor: Souza, Reginaldo José de Abstract: Our research topic is theater as a possible educational and didactic tool in the formation of collective memory in the territories of the archaeological sites of the Jesuit-Guarani Missions in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, seeking to understand the asymmetrical power relations expressed in these missionary territories and landscapes. The general objective is to analyze power relations, past and present, in our research areas, through an interdisciplinary approach that articulates Art, History and Geography. To this end, we problematize the power asymmetries established between the Portuguese and Spanish crowns, the Jesuits and the Guarani people, based on a critical analysis of theatrical texts produced by Jesuit priests, engaging in dialogue with authors and research in the aforementioned areas. As specific objectives, we seek to analyze contemporary missionary performances, verifying to what extent they contribute to the understanding of the colonization process and to reflection on its consequences today. Furthermore, we propose a critique of art that conceals or reveals power discourses present in contemporary missionary territories and landscapes. The methodological approach was based on a survey of theoretical references, fieldwork (Neto, 2002) and content analysis (Moraes, 1999). The results indicate that the representations of power in archaeological sites still reproduce colonial perspectives, evidenced by the centrality of religious symbols, the predominance of performances with reduced criticism of the colonizing process, and the absence of the remaining indigenous peoples as active agents in these spaces of memory.

The investigation relies on documentary and archival research, acknowledging the fragmented nature of institutional and personal collections to reconstruct a narrative that deviates from biographical linearity, favoring an analysis of the artist's positions within the arts field. The study analyzes how education at the National School of Fine Arts, time spent in Candido Portinari's studio, and instruction at the UDF Institute of Arts solidified his symbolic capital. It also examines educational institutions as arenas of negotiation among artistic movements; the networks of intellectual and bohemian sociability that influenced cosmopolitanism of the federal capital; and the studio as a hybrid space of production, public image, and social legitimation. By highlighting Trompowsky's presence in illustrated press, theater, and carnival, it is demonstrated that esthetic modernization in Brazil occurred in a diverse manner, thru "alternative modernisms" that expanded visual culture beyond traditional supports. His work, primarily developed in Rio de Janeiro, offers a counterpoint to canonical narratives by exposing a modernity constituted in the articulation between worldly sociability and decorative arts.

Considering the Student Residence of IFRS – Campus Sertão as a strategic space for ensuring the retention of youth in integrated high school implies recognizing that, by inhabiting these facilities, students access a set of extracurricular activities fundamental to their development. The methodology is qualitative and exploratory. For data collection, bibliographic and documentary research were employed, focusing on the 'State of the Art' and the institution’s official records regarding deviant practices among resident students. Regarding the results, the analyzed documents indicate that free time assumes an ambivalent character within the institutional context: while formally recognized as a creative dimension of daily life, it is simultaneously treated as a space of potential inclination toward deviant practices. In conclusion, it is understood that standardized social practices cannot be fully controlled, given that free time is a fertile ground for the emergence of deviance. Such occurrences are relevant elements in not only technical but also identity formation, permeated by creative and playful dimensions. The study, therefore, reaffirms the need for socio-educational approaches that recognize the complexity of youth and daily life as a legitimate space for the production of knowledge, meanings, and learning Publisher: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Type: Dissertação 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z
