ABSTRACT

In the first instance arises the archaeological methodology of Michael Foucault, which is taken up by the American philosopher Arnold Davidson (2004), to make the history of psychoanalysis from a different perspective to the official one. It could be said that the archaeological methodology consists in making a history of the statements, in other words, a story without names, which gives direct access to the fundamental questions of psychoanalysis. Returning to this methodology, a conceptual analysis of the term narcissism is made from the research of Padovan (2015), to explain the way in which the term was used in nineteenth-century psychiatry, highlighting the articulation of the concept of autoerotism with the narcissism, as a basis for the psychoanalytic concept of narcissism, which is aligned with the third promise of modernity: democracy. In such a way that the myth of the self-production of psychoanalysis can be counteracted.
