Abstract :
[en] There is no need to question the universality of the Oedipus complex: there is there always will be a paternal and a maternal imago to fix the primitive libido and the agressive drives through desire, jealousy and competition. On the other hand, what makes the major difference between the archaic mind and our modern western ideology is their cultural management of the Oedipus complex? Archaic societies use of rites of passage to prevent the return of Oedipus in adolescence whiile our culture gives free rein to the return of the repressed and does not fix any limit for adolescence to end. Each individual is then solitarily in charge of the stabilization of his adult identity.
