| Abstract | |
This work presents a survey on how art appears in Jung\'s writings, emphasizing its role in the construction of his theory. Therefore, a research focusing terms related to art, such as: art, artistic, literature, painting, etc., was made in the general indexes of Jung\'s Collected Works. Some of Jung\'s other texts were also taken into account. As art permeates Jung\'s life and work in different ways, it was necessary to relate what was found to others theoretical aspects of Analytical Psychology. The data found on this research were organized according to the following themes: the work of art understood by Analytical Psychology; art in Jungs early texts: changing conceptions; the relation of art to the concepts of complex and anima; Jung as an spectator of works of art; neighboring areas of art (creativity, the use of expressive resources in therapy, and analogies between art and analysis); and some considerations about aesthetics. Jungian thoughts fundamentals included the artistic subject supporting the consolidation of a psychology concerning the incommensurability of the psyche and going beyond the methodological and epistemological limits of modern science. On the other hand, Analytical Psychology has an openness as well as a theoretical scope to consider artistic phenomena. In this sense, based on the survey here realized and also on contributions of some post-Jungians authors, the paper presents reflections concerning the specificities of the articulation between Analytical Psychology and art, emphasizing the symbolic aspect of the artistic experience and highlighting the encounter between art and Analytical Psychology as a way to ensure that there is psychic space for the unknown and for contributing to the development of a pattern of alterity and possible expansion of consciousness (AU) | |
