A partir de una revisión crítica del texto freudiano Psicología de las masas y análisis del Yo, este artículo introduce las diferencias entre masa y sociedad, por un lado y vínculo y relación por otro, como claves en el entendimiento de la violencia. Para este mismo propósito, señala la comprensión de lo tanático además de lo libidinal como factor de enlace. Establece diferencias conceptuales entre la violencia y lo violento sin limitarse en los extremos de lo individual o lo social, lo femenino o lo masculino, contemplando los dos polos de estas oposiciones. Desde esas referencias fundamentales, plantea la violencia como "desequilibrio radical de poderes", tomando como ejemplo un caso directamente relacionado con nuestra situación actual: el sicario.
Starting from a critical reappraisal of Freud's Group Psychology and Analysis of the Ego, this paper establishes the differences between masses and society on the one hand, and between bond and relation on the other, key notions for understanding violence. In this regard, attention is drawn to the comprehension of the thanatical, as well as the libidinal, as a factor of binding. Conceptual differences are also established between violence in act and the violentlike, not restricted to the opposition between individual and society, or masculine and femenine, poles which, nevertheless, are also taken into account. Based on these fundamental references, this paper considers violence as a "radical imbalance of powers", and the example is given of a case directly related to our present situation: the hired killer.
