Professor emeritus at the Laboratoire de Changement Social at Université Paris VII – Denis-Diderot, Eugène Enriquez is a pioneer and one of the exponents of psychosociology and clinical sociology – disciplines that have established theoretical bridges between sociology and psychoanalysis. He is also editor-in-chief of the Nouvelle Revue de Psychosociologie and was one of the founders of the Center International de Recherche, Formation et Intervention Psychosociologiques (Cirfip).
Some of his main works have been published in Brazil, such as Da horda ao Estado (1992), The organization under analysis (1994) and Figuras do Poder (2006), in addition to dozens of book chapters and many other articles in Brazilian scientific journals. Among his main research topics are the phenomena of power and its deadly faces; issues relating to the state and democracy; crisis and intervention processes in organizations and institutions; the role of the subject in the construction of history; unconscious processes in organizations and culture; the social bond; collective aspects of violence and intolerance. In addition to sociology and psychoanalysis, psychosociology and clinical sociology develop at the crossroads of fields such as anthropology, history, geography, philosophy, economics and political science.
