Em seu novo livro, o psicanalista e professor do Instituto de Psicologia da USP Christian Dunker realiza uma abordagem original sobre o mal-estar, o sofrimento e o sintoma na sociedade brasileira. Unindo teoria social e psicanálise, o autor conclui que a privatização do espaço público transforma a própria vida em formas de condomínio, com seus regulamentos, síndicos, gestores e muros: o sonho brasileiro de consumo elevado a paradigma da forma de vida hegemônica no imaginário nacional. Não por acaso, 'o caminho escolhido na história brasileira é o de despolitizar o sofrimento, medicalizar o mal-estar e condominializar o sintoma', diz José Luiz Aidar Prado no texto de orelha.Mas os sonhos de condomínio fechado produzem monstros, e é sobre eles que este livro discorre. Com suas estratégias de nomeação e controle de todo tipo de mal-estar, o 'novo espírito do capitalismo' nos impede de reconhecer a aspiração de liberdade presente em toda formação de sintoma. Fazendo um paralelo com a vida em forma de condomínio, Mal-estar, sofrimento e sintoma apresenta um novo sintoma social brasileiro, que sofre do mal que pretende erradicar.A obra, dividida em cinco partes, explora as diferenças na tríade mal-estar, sofrimento e sintoma para muito além da visão funcionalista descritiva das patologias mentais. Para o psicanalista, o sofrimento é indissociável de uma experiência que mobiliza sistemas sociais de valores, narrativas e expectativas fracassadas de reconhecimento. A partir dessa premissa, se aprofunda em como a experiência nacional e suas formas de sociabilidade fornecem quadros de circulação dos desejos e afetos, definindo especificidades das patologias mentais. 'Dunker se dedica a um impressionante esforço de recolocar o capítulo brasileiro da história da psicanálise no interior de um debate mais amplo a respeito das tensões de nosso processo recente de formação cultural', afirma o filósofo Vladimir Safatle, no prefácio do livro.
