The aim of the present contribution is to analyze the concept of cannibalism from different points of view: from the historical one to the classification one, then moving on to a brief anthropological examination and focus on the Freudian vision of cannibalism and its symbolic meaning, concluding with an attempt at a sociological analysis of the phenomenon. The conclusion reached in this contribution is the persistence of the concept of cannibalism in individuals, even if under a merely symbolic profile.

The aim of the present contribution is to analyze the concept of cannibalism from different points of view: from the historical one to the classification one, then moving on to a brief anthropological examination and focus on the Freudian vision of cannibalism and its symbolic meaning, concluding with an attempt at a sociological analysis of the phenomenon. The conclusion reached in this contribution is the persistence of the concept of cannibalism in individuals, even if under a merely symbolic profile.File in questo prodotto:
