The culture acts by coercion and repression, trying to keep itself effective and sovereign; therefore, it protects the man from barbarism, but it also turns itself sometimes into a hard opposition of the civilization progress. The cultural scene, however, may not invade the psychoanalysis, moving it away from its position in the unconscious scene; but is the psychoanalysis that may get into the barbarian dimensions of the human to operate there the possible changes, because the repressed, thought as unknownness, recurrently comes back and can bring violent phenomena for the individual and for the society. The psychoanalysis is then converted into a civilizatory work of the barbarian aspects of each human being, and, in order to do this process, we understand that the sublimation becomes the favoured destination to the impulses
