O corpo na psicanálise contemporânea: sobre as concepções psicossomáticas de Pierre Marty e Joyce McDougall

Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar algumas considerações a respeito das concepções teóricas de Pierre Marty e Joyce McDougall. Tal propósito justifica-se tendo em vista que os referidos autores se afiguram como dois dos mais importantes expoentes da psicossomática psicanalítica e, assim, oferecem contribuições de grande valor para a compreensão dos determinantes psicológicos das enfermidades orgânicas. Além disso, vale destacar que Marty e McDougall acrescentam à psicanálise conceitos que ainda não foram devidamente incorporados à literatura científica especializada. Conseqüentemente, considerou-se relevante focalizar no presente estudo a discussão de dois desses conceitos, a saber: pensamento operatório e desafetação.

Recognizing cultural concepts: Joyce, Woolf, Mann and Musil

The purpose of this thesis is to establish a direct relationship between literature and fields of knowledge such as science and technology, by focusing on some concepts that were fundamental for both science and the humanities at the beginning of the 20th century. The concepts are those of simultaneity, multiple points of view, map, relativity and acausality. In the spirit of several recent ideas, for example Katherine Hayles’ isomorphism notion, the dissertation shows how writers such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann and Robert Musil developed the mentioned concepts within their narratives. The working hypothesis is that those concepts were at a crossroad of human activities, and that those authors used them extensively within their narratives. It is further argued that those same concepts – as developed by Joyce in Ulysses, Woolf’s shorts stories and novels from the end of the 1910’s until the end of the1920’s, Mann’s Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain), and Musil’s Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften (The Man Without Qualities) — are still fundamental for our conception of time and space today. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first two chapters will analyse the concepts of simultaneity and multiple points of view and their relationship to cartography as developed within English literature and culture. The next two chapters will address the concepts of relativity and acausality, as developed within German literature and culture.
