Taboo and Obedience in Work

Abstract

Taboos are a form of manipulation of anxiety by means of totemic rules, respectively institute and social institution, from which control is abstracted by the submission of the belief in the unknown such as death and exogamy in the primitive clan. On the other hand, childhood is obedience and the attempt to flee from this condition to maturity that is never achieved. On the other hand, in the capitalist system, human work is obedience modeled on the labor contract. It is a new phase in which the human beings submits themselves. In the case of the worker, the labor contract is the image of the impossibility of choice or limited within the field of life requirements that symbolically present themselves as an acknowledgement of need, ananke, the educator which installs itself and silently disposes of freedom due to the incapacity for any reaction.
