The main goal of this paper is to discuss some relations that may be established between the subject of sexuality and culture through Freud’s work, more especifically the so called “first topic” period of his work, which withholds the texts that were published by Freud before the turn of events in the 1920’s. First of all, we will show how the theme of sexuality was since the beggining put in question by freudian psychanalitical theory regarding the clinic – namely, with the emergency, at Freud’s time, of a large number of neurosis cases. In this discussion we will approach the clinic distinction suggested by Freud between psiconeurosis and actual neuroses, delimiting the specificities of this cases and the differences in handling the sexual excitation in both. Afterwards, we will make a collection of the development of a Freudian conception of symptom, through the introductory conferences pronounced by Freud about this subject. In the next chapter, we will discuss the making of a freudian conception of sexuality, more especifically, on how this conception distinguished a lot of that shared by the medical knowledge back then, on how Freud’s fisicalist orientation had an effect on him and how the development of the concept of narcissism took this conception to the next step. In our third chapter, our goal is to narrow the links between the themes of sexuality and culture, through the reading of some sociological Freudian texts. With this end in sight, we will make a rigorous exam of two important texts from Freud’s work, Civilized Sexual Morality and Totem e tabu, so that we can point out the connections between the clinic and the culture through the strife among instinctual demands and the other, represented by the social values. Up next, we will do some observations about sublimation as a valuable instinctual end to the culture, through an exam of the construction of this concept in Freud and by taking the figure of the artist as a reference. In the end, we will make some considerations about the results of our work, emphasizing how we cannot think satisfactorily the clinical setting without a broad knowledge of the factors that condition a particular social estructure.
