Tristes t��picos: um estudo sobre a melancolia em Freud

O objetivo deste trabalho �� estudar a melancolia em duas vias: uma primeira via que chamaremos hist��rico-investigativa e que estudar�� esse conceito na filosofia antiga (Arist��teles) que carrega o legado direto da medicina hipocr��tica, e estudar�� ainda a trajet��ria da melancolia na psiquiatria moderna. Em outras palavras, estudar a forma como a melancolia foi construida como uma afec����o do corpo nesses dois momentos hist��ricos fundamentais do termo. Uma segunda via analisar�� o papel fundamental da constru����o do conceito de melancolia no interior e ao longo da obra de Freud, tanto na sua fun����o de delimita����o de um campo propriamente psicanal��tico de reflex��o sobre essa doen��a, como nas suas rela����es de vizinhan��a conceitual (onde est��o envolvidos alguns dos conceitos mais fundamentais da obra freudiana)

Hist��rias de uma antiga rela����o: uma compreens��o da presen��a dos conte��dos mitol��gicos na constru����o do pensamento psicanal��tico de Sigmund Freud

The use of mythology as a resource in the construction of Freudian thought and contributions relevant to the use of these outbreaks are of relevance to the development of psychoanalytic studies. This is primarily to discuss the design and conceptualization of myth and mythology, the following route through the Freudian and understand the various arguments used by the author to connect the mythology in the construction of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic thought, trying to highlight the aspects of this connection and opportunities for reflection and understanding of psychoanalytic concepts that the mythological narratives provide.

Cartas imaginarias a Freud y otros ensayos

"Las cinco cartas imaginarias a Freud recogidas en este libro son su columna vertebral y los efectos que producir��n en la comunidad psicoanal��tica est��n a��n por verse. Pero las cartas no agotan los aportes de esta obra. Alberto Fergusson, m��dico, psiquiatra y psicoanalista, tiene toda una historia vital dedicada al estudio y el tratamiento de pacientes psic��ticos. En los a��os ochenta cre�� el Instituto de Autorrehabilitaci��n Acompa��ada, inspirado en las premisas del freudomarxismo de la Escuela de Frankfurt y en el mal llamado "movimiento antipsiqui��trico" (mal llamado en la medida en que no se opone a la psiquiatr��a, sino m��s bien a una mala pr��ctica psiqui��trica) y en los trabajos y experiencias de Laing, Cooper, Basaglia y Szasz. La materializaci��n de los conceptos del Instituto se produjo en una singular experiencia denominada Fungrata, pero conocida en el mundo acad��mico y profesional como "La granja". Esa instituci��n, pionera en nuestro pa��s, sigue produciendo asombro en varias partes del mundo por haber llegado, desde ya hace d��cadas, adonde muchos otros dispositivos dedicados a la intervenci��n psicosocial con pacientes psic��ticos hoy aspiran llegar".

Unravel and picking at scabs : the underside of grief (a novella and exegesis)

This thesis consists of a 46,000 word polyphonic novella, Unravel, and an exegesis, Picking at Scabs: the Underside of Grief. The works are companion pieces, sitting side-by-side, and together they plumb the complex depths of loss and its resultant disorder, painful longing, and sorrow. The novella, representing 75% of the work and creative practice, is a multilayered work, which scrapes at the potent unspeakability of the presence of absence in the lives of its chief protagonists, Hana and Guy. As the novella progresses, loss is unraveled to reveal the interplay of remembering and forgetting, past and present and the ways in which these knotty fibres are connected with the strands of memory, trauma, silence, and the uncanny. Each of these threads is woven into the novella and as they plait together, loosen and fray, they expose the mystery, lies and secrets at the core of the novella. The exegesis, which comprises 25% of the thesis, picks at loss to uncover and loosen a complex and worn tangle of knots and loops. In this way, the exegesis and creative work are constantly in dialogue and while neither provides all the answers, both stretch the yarn to reveal an enthusiasm of practice.

Mortuaires suivi de La mort-vivance comme motif d'��criture dans Aur��lia de G��rard de Nerval

Dans Mortuaires, une pi��ce de th����tre en fragments, deux soeurs se rencontrent dans une chambre d'h��tel; Jiji, la plus vieille, vient de retrouver les cendres de leur m��re, morte dix ans auparavant; elle voudrait enterrer l'urne d��finitivement, alors que la plus jeune, Ge, tient �� la garder pr��s d'elle. Ce sera l'occasion pour les soeurs de faire valoir leur propre d��sir et de c��l��brer la morte, de reprendre contact avec ce qui reste d'elle dans leur m��moire. Le texte se pr��sente sous forme de mini-sc��nes sans continuit��, bien qu�����tant toutes reli��es, comme un dialogue interrompu, une c��r��monie rejouant la mise en pi��ces du corps. La fragmentation de la m��moire constitue le projet esth��tique de la pi��ce, dont le ressort dramatique tourne autour du souvenir endeuill�� et du corps mort. La mort-vivance comme motif d'��criture dans �� Aur��lia �� de G��rard de Nerval est un essai portant sur le rapport qu'entretient Nerval avec les morts dans le r��cit, ceux-ci constituant son moteur d'��criture. Au moyen de th��ories telles que la psychanalyse (Freud, Jackson), la sociologie (Muray) et la th��orie de la lecture (Picard), il sera d��montr�� que Nerval, dans Aur��lia, se fait spirite en faisant revenir les morts au moyen du r��ve. L'��criture se pose comme un lieu de rencontre entre les vivants et les morts, un espace dans lequel chacun doit se faire mort-vivant pour aller retrouver l'autre. Les fronti��res se brouillent et il devient difficile pour Nerval, ainsi que pour le lecteur, de distinguer le r��ve de la r��alit��.

Um olho torto na literatura de Graciliano Ramos

This dissertation analyses, within a psychoanalytical e literary perspective, the enigma of blindness in Graciliano Ramos s work. The approach takes into account, mainly, the narratives of Hist��rias de Alexandre (Alexandre s tales) and Inf��ncia (Childhood memories) as both books speak of the same theme: the injured eye. The writer s work is scourged so that a broaden symbolism regarding the hurt eye can be found. The subject is discussed from three significant elements: fragmentation, helplessness and melancholy; all these form the creative aesthetic of Graciliano, merging into a single object. Fragmentation representing the internal shattered world of his characters, which is reflected in the environment; helplessness, directly related to feelings of rejection; and melancholy, characterized by a strong feeling of emptiness. The theme of isolation and loss is discussed based on Mourning and melancholy, by Freud, and other theorizers. There is also a brief dialogue with the Romantic and philosophical theories, which tries to explain the melancholic condition in the individual before moments of distress. Such theories are the support for the understanding of the helplessness of the hero in Graciliano Ramos��s literature and for the assumption that the blindness in the mistreated boy of the book Inf��ncia could be the language of the traumatic aspect that colors the entire text of the writer. As matter of fact, it constitutes in the lost object represented in the anguish of the author s characters

Suic��dio, da identifica����o com a m��e morta ao resgate narc��sico: um estudo psicanal��tico do personagem Richard Brown do filme As horas

O tema desta Disserta����o �� o suic��dio como conseq����ncia da identifica����o com a m��e morta. Trata-se de uma pesquisa te��rica fundamentada na teoria psicanal��tica, que recorre �� an��lise do personagem Richard Brown, do filme As Horas, para ilustrar o argumento te��rico de que a revivesc��ncia da identifica����o com a m��e morta pode ser um fator desencadeante do suic��dio do melanc��lico na vida adulta. Inicialmente procura explicitar o conceito de m��e morta, caracterizada como uma m��e que mesmo quando est�� presente mostra-se ausente nos cuidados e no investimento amoroso ao filho em fun����o de sua depress��o. Assim, para a crian��a, a imagem materna ser�� a de uma m��e sem vida, de uma m��e morta. Mostra a identifica����o com a m��e morta como sa��da ps��quica para a situa����o traum��tica proveniente do desinvestimento amoroso maternal. A crian��a na rela����o com esta m��e vive uma cat��strofe ps��quica chamada por Green de trauma narcisista, o que vai determinar o destino do investimento libidinal, objetal e narcisista do sujeito. Assim sendo, considera-se a melancolia como uma psicopatologia manifestada na vida adulta pelo sujeito subjugado pelo complexo da m��e morta. O estudo da melancolia no texto Luto e Melancolia, de Freud, fornece subs��dios para se compreender os processos do mundo interior daqueles que querem dar cabo �� sua pr��pria exist��ncia. A melancolia evidencia o embate entre o Eu e o Supereu nos pap��is de acusado e acusador. Mostra que o Supereu se torna s��dico ao cobrar perfei����o do Eu masoquista empobrecido narcisicamente pela identifica����o com a m��e morta. Quando chega ��s raias do sadismo esse embate leva o Eu, identificado com a m��e morta, a desejar eliminar o objeto mau introjetado numa parte do Eu, para resgatar o seu valor narc��sico idealizado. Aponta o suic��dio como a sa��da ps��quica encontrada pelo melanc��lico para livrar-se da identifica����o com a m��e morta. Conclui que no suic��dio os conflitos inconscientes manifestados na vida adulta s��o revivesc��ncias dos conte��dos ps��quicos registrados na inf��ncia. No caso estudado em quest��o, a revivesc��ncia da identifica����o com a m��e morta teria sido o fator desencadeante do suic��dio de Richard Brown na vida adulta.

"Beyond Freud and Jung": Sabina Spielrein's Contribution to Child Psychoanalysis and Developmental Psychology

Up to the present day, Sabina Spielrein has been seen as a means to deeper understanding of Freud and Jung and, in particular, the relationship between these two ���great men���. This is also the reason why her scholarly achievements after her 1912 essay "Destruction as the Cause of Coming Into Being��� are hardly taken into account. This study shows that Spielrein's main research work was in the areas of child analysis and developmental psychology���that is, beyond the work and the persons of Freud and Jung���and that she made numerous significant contributions to the field, so many of them ahead of her time.

Olen maa johon tahdot : Timo K. Mukan maailmankuvan poetiikkaa

The dissertation deals with the prose texts of the Finnish writer Timo K. Mukka, renowned for his depictions of his native Lapland. This research concerns the creation of world view in Mukka s prose, which is approached by studying what Mikhail Bakhtin calls generic change. Such genre change is the most characteristic feature of Mukka s prose. His prose is permeated with two genres in particular and changes between them: the ballad-like, archaistic and romantic prose-poem style and naturalistic, even grotesque expressions. In addition, these genres are associated with sublime and grotesque styles so that generic change tends to involve also stylistic changes in Mukka s prose. This study probes the tension-filled interrelationships between the ballad and naturalistic prose by examining the discourse of Mukka s characters. It is shown that these characters invariably find themselves in what Bakhtin calls the chronotope of the threshold; that is, the plots of Mukka s novels and short stories depict situations in which the characters are faced with decisions and deeds that will profoundly impact their lives. The discourse of the threshold affects the characters speech by filling it with dialogical dimensions. This makes their communication ethically loaded and polyphonic. This study is based on Mikhail Bakhtin s theory of the novel and international Bakhtin s studies. I also take into consideration the theoretical developments of Bakhtin s work; for example, the concept of ressentiment, adapted from the Bakhtin scholar Michel Andr�� Bernstein, plays an important role. In order to explicate on the psychology of Mukka s characters such as melancholy, abjection, sadism, and taboo I use the concepts familiar from Freudian psychoanalysis. The corpus of my research consists of the following texts: the long prose texts Maa on syntinen laulu. Balladi (1964), Tabu (1965), T����lt�� jostakin. Romaani (1965), Laulu Sipirjan lapsista. Romaani (1966), Ja kes��n hein�� kuolee. Kertomus sairaudesta (1968) ja Kyyhky ja unikko (1970) and the short story collections Koiran kuolema (1967) ja Lumen pelko (1970), and with Tabu published short story Sankarihymni , the short story Katkelma laajemmasta laulelmasta from the collection Rakastaa: Kaksitoista novellia rakkaudesta (1965) and also the short stories which were published in various Finnish journals: Y��t (1965), Liisa (1967), Tytt�� (1967) ja N��in hetki sitten ketun (1970). I pay particular attention to the novel Maa on syntinen laulu, because it expresses the generic change characteristic of Mukka s world view in a specifically clear and lively way. The dissertation is in Finnish. Key words: Timo K. Mukka, world view, genre change, ballad, naturalism, grotesque realism, Mikhail Bakhtin, dialogism, polyphony, chronotope, sublime, grotesque, ressentiment, Sigmund Freud, melancholy, taboo, abject, sadism, reduced laughter, modern parody.

Causalidade ps��quica em Freud

O objetivo da disserta����o �� abordar a teoria causal do mental de Freud e seu uso na explica����o do conflito ps��quico. �� destacada a dupla dimens��o da causalidade ps��quica freudiana que oscila de uma causalidade mecanicista a uma causalidade intencional. Considera-se que a forma mais coerente de defender a tese da causalidade ps��quica �� descrev��-la como intencional, usando o vocabul��rio psicol��gico. Para dar suporte a essa id��ia, a concep����o estrita da causalidade sustentada por Wittgenstein �� dispensada, e a id��ia de causa mental em Davidson �� endossada como aquela que pode ser mais facilmente articul��vel ��s hip��teses freudianas. A quest��o �� analisada em tr��s momentos da obra freudiana. Na primeira t��pica, Freud usa um vocabul��rio h��brido, descrevendo o psiquismo tanto em termos de causa racionais quanto em termos de causas intencionais. Na segunda t��pica, o psiquismo assume, cada vez mais, uma descri����o intencional, e a causa a-racional da energia pulsional, inicialmente apresentada como um motor do psiquismo, d�� um lugar a ang��stia como um afeto intencional que obriga o eu a encontrar uma solu����o para os conflitos ps��quicos.

Teixeira de Pascoaes e Manoel de Barros n��o sabem que sabem o que Freud e Lacan descobriram

A psican��lise e a arte sempre se atra��ram. Freud e Lacan se utilizam muito da literatura, das artes pl��sticas, da m��sica e do teatro para a ilustra����o de importantes conceitos psicanal��ticos. Esta disserta����o tem a inten����o de mostrar a rela����o da psican��lise com a literatura, sobretudo, da psican��lise com a poesia. Atrav��s da obra do poeta e escritor portugu��s Teixeira de Pascoaes (1877-1952), o principal representante do saudosismo e uma das mais proeminentes figuras da cultura portuguesa do s��culo XX, e do poeta brasileiro Manoel de Barros, considerado por muitos, o maior poeta brasileiro vivo, ratificaremos como a literatura foi fundamental para a constru����o do corpus te��rico de Freud e Lacan e de outros grandes autores da psican��lise. Usaremos a poesia de Pascoaes e Barros para exemplificarmos conceitos como a puls��o, o inconsciente e a sublima����o, este ��ltimo, inacabado pelo pai da psican��lise. Mostraremos tamb��m, como a obra dos dois poetas, de alguma forma, se encontram
