Psicanálise e Criação Literária

Abstract

This article studies the influence of literature in the construction of psychoanalytic theory with regard to the following aspects: as a method of exposure and essay, as an object of inspiration and enunciation of psychic paradigms and as a psychoanalytical object. For the development of this study we highlight the place that literature occupied in the work of the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. It was through literature and its literary anchoring that the founder effected in the culture its catalytic emergence. It is from this anchorage that the science created by him emerges, and it is through this that we glimpse one of the reasons that justify the actuality of his work, that is, the circumstance of its timelessness. In this sense, the question of the double facet of the master, literary and scientific, is also analyzed for the construction of his work.
