Resumo
Between Freudian slips and passions in Brazil’s social, political, economic, and cultural formation, how did cities sketch out their modernity? And amid all their marks and silences, how did the urban unconscious of modernity project itself onto the city’s face? These questions guide this research in its effort to examine the historical, urban, and sociological processes of modernity in Espírito Santo, in dialogue with Psychoanalysis. The theoretical path begins with the notion of modernity, drawing on Reinhart Koselleck’s concept of the relationship between the “space of experience” and the “horizon of expectation.” Simultaneously, the unconscious though invisible, yet investigable is addressed through the contributions of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. The life and chronicles of Carmélia Maria de Souza are employed as a methodological resource, grounded in the Indiciary Paradigm, to access the open-air unconscious of Espírito Santo’s modernity through the social contradictions, ambiguities and eccentric urbanities inscribed in the physiognomy of Vitória. At this intersection of social theory and psychoanalytic listening to social phenomena, it becomes evident that in Vitória, the modern ideal of progress did not materialize as an open horizon of possibilities: the dominance of lived experience over future expectations hindered the emergence of futures detached from traditions, founding myths, and the control of regional elites, rooted in an affective authoritarianism. Within this context, Duque de Caxias Street, as portrayed in Carmélia’s chronicles, emerges as an expression of the open-air urban unconscious and a metaphor for Espírito Santo’s modernity.
