The notion of otherness in Cornelius Castoriadis

This thesis addresses the institutional thought and work of Castoriadis, his notion of otherness. Delivery of a brief review of social sciences, particularly anthropology and step by describing the context in which discipline is part of the notion. Through developing a working hypothesis the argument through an initial conceptualization as absence of meaning and emergence of the new continuing with a second conceptualization of otherness imaginary, real and pop.

The successive step, but the order of the projection, will address the implications of the proposed autonomous society brings about otherness in the fields of education, training, psychoanalysis and politics. The contribution of clinical sociology and institutional analysis, such as proposals that extend, at an intermediate level of abstraction, the notion of otherness and their heirs the notion of imaginary and institution in Castoriadis, is also first order in this passage. Thinking about the possibility that society exercises the right infra-power as a collective anonymous and that the exercise is conducted within the boundaries of public and private space, the agora, and properly political space, the ecclesial, we will the pattern for reviving the notion of transfer for the case of the strictly political sphere. The factual reality of this state concerning the institution transference, illustrated by the figures of representatives and experts, will enable us to close the text with the mythical character of the institution that emerges here of the rationa
