Abstract

This article aims to present the general objectives of the extension project Cine Freud, Culture and Art, as well as to bring some reflexions about the project in its nine years of existence. Cine Freud aims to promote dialogue between art, psychoanalysis and the field of Cultural Studies. It proposes the construction of student training devices which question the subjective phenomena involved in contemporary experience, considering cultural diversity as constitutive of this experience. In this direction, it is crucial the encouragement and dissemination of artistic and cultural works, in order to contribute to the artistic and critical training of students and the community providing the debate, the development of critical thinking and awareness of these subjects towards affective processes arising from subjective mechanisms triggered by art. The questioning of the project’s objective considers the participation of its target audience. From the issues raised in the debates after the exhibition of the movies, they were presented the general lines that moved the discussion and polemics considered important in regard to contemporary experience, for example, the demystification of some aspects of the problem of the perversions and psychoses and its relation to current thinking about the perversions and madness.
