| Abstract | |
I begin describing the theory of the analogous reign (Herrmann, 2006b), in order to consider Psychoanalysis, and psychoanalyses, as literary form. According to this theory, every man of science removes himself to a field of knowledge analogous to his own, in order to produce knowledge in his particular field. Physicists, for example, remove themselves to the realm of mathematics, and human and social scientists to that of literary fiction, as they produce theory creatively. In my view, it is by the theory of the analogous reign that it has become possible to propose literary fiction as the raw material of psychoanalyses: their building blocks. Nevertheless, it is with Brazilian literary critic Candido (1957/2009) that psychoanalyses may most definitively be contemplated as pertaining to the field of aesthetics, by use of his literary concepts: function, structure and aesthetic unit. In other words, it becomes conceivable that psychoanalyses be aesthetically defined in the realm of Literature, when a harmonious relationship between a psychoanalysis function and structure is encountered. It must be added that: whether the structure of a particular psychoanalysis functions well or poorly is less the question of this dissertation, than to determine whether it is possible to consider this matter in these terms. My research analyses these hypotheses in four of Herrmanns denominated Freudian fictions (2002a) and two case studies of my own. The former may offer elements to consider the Freudian fiction as a literary genre, as created by Freud and transformed by Herrmann, which is a proposition hinted at by my investigation. In conclusion, I have found that Herrmanns Freudian fictions, like my case studies, are structured by the psychoanalytic method described by Herrmann (1979) but created by Freud (1893-1895) although additionally they have the function of considering the theories of the Multiple Fields Theory and they engender aesthetic unity. My case studies may also be considered as literary form as may psychoanalyses in general, in the sense of this investigation but it is not clear that they engender aesthetic unity. This is one distinction between these two types of psychoanalyses studied, among others surmised (AU) | |
