Abstract

This article aims to establish, in the light of Semiotic-Cultural Constructivism in Psychology, a contribution to the research of creative processes through a reflection on the emergence of the new in the relationship between self-other-world. It is intended to advance in the classic approaches to creativity, by focusing on the unusual and ambiguous, affective-singularizing and, simultaneously, everyday-cultural face of the perspective of the possible and the new in the course of human action. In this way, the article focuses on fiction as a psychic reality that participates in the intersubjective field inherent to creative dynamics, as well as addresses affectivity in the Boeschian grammar from the place of the ambivalence and the dynamics between myths and fantasms in the forms of meaning construction in the face of disturbing experiences and uncertainty about the future. As an interpretive exercise, this text discusses a comic strip by a pair of elementary school students about a character who studies in a school where nothing was prohibited. The discussion of the data seeks to broaden the reading about the ways of fictionalizing the lived experience, pervasive to the everyday plot of the self, and its relationship with creativity in the future of human action.
