Pulsión de muerte en un adolescente con conducta criminal

The objective of this article was to theoretically analyze the concept of death drive in a criminal subject, interned in a Youth Training Center in the city of Cali (a place that receives adolescents and young people between 14 and 25 years of age), accused of the crime of homicide; likewise, the concept of death drive was articulated with socio-cultural aspects in the subject's life history. To this end, a bibliographic review was carried out to understand the socio-cultural aspects in the subject's life history and to support the case study by highlighting the problem and identifying the central aspects in the subject's criminal behavior, emphasizing the discourse to point out the most distinctive signifiers from the subject's cultural and subjective environment and how this is articulated with the death drive, particularly that which surrounds the rites and "contras" that emerged throughout the interviews. In the analysis of the adolescent's discourse, it was found that the death drive is made evident from a certain compulsion to repeat the violent acts of the adolescent within the Formation Center, attempting against his own life and integrity and that of others. This conceptual intertwining with the socio-cultural aspects of the subject, showed that the death drive is mobilized in such a way that it gradually emerges to alter the bond that the subject makes with his partner, all this from feelings that cause displeasure by influencing the choices made at the time of committing criminal acts; at this point, we must stress the capital importance of beliefs and rites as forms of protection against possible guilt in the face of manifestations of aggression by the adolescent.
