Abstract

In 1920 and 1921 there were two events, one theoretical, the other aesthetic. Sigmud Freud published his writing Beyond the pleasure principle and Charles Chaplin premiered his film The Kid. They were both works of enormous influence in their respective fields. This article analyzes their points of contact, regarding the rights of the child, the issue of identity and death drive. Once again the cinema is presented as a supplement to the theoretical questions, allowing us to lucidly discuss current issues in relation to children and adolescents.
