Da passagem ao ato à entrada em cena na internet : o caso Yoñlu e o compartilhamento do suicídio pelos adolescentes nas redes sociais

Abstract

This research aims to understand the status of the passage to the act in the virtual environment, based on one of the first cases of suicides assisted by the internet in Brazil. The interest for this investigation arose from previous studies on suicides widely disseminated by the mass media. The passage to the act mediated by the internet screen and the growing number of suicides, especially among adolescents, made us ask what is the statute of the act in the contemporary, that through an image disseminated in a planetary sphere, appears as an entry into the immortality of the network. For this study we based ourselves on the discussion of suicide and adolescence for psychoanalysis, to then stick to an analysis of the passage to the hypermodern act in the light of the Clinics of Excess. This work was based on research in psychoanalysis anchored in autobiographical narratives and in social phenomena, from the reading of the Yoñlu case and its implications in the contemporary context of suicide connected to the network. The research considered the triad of the Unlimited-Image-Imortalized as the status of the passage to the act in virtuality, pointing to a re-reading of the classical interpretation of the act-out and the passage to the act for psychoanalysis.
