Poesia e psicanálise : do poetar sobre a infância ao (in)dizível da experiência em Manoel Barros

Abstract

This thesis intends to construct an approximation and dialogue between poetry and psychoanalysis using the studies of the works of Manoel de Barros and the poetics of childhood in relation to the theme of experience of the (un)speakable. Using the theoretical and critical support of imaginary theories of Gaston Bachelard and the studies of the poetics of Mikel Dufrenne while also using the topoanalysis of Bachelard as a methodical option – in dialogue with the psychoanalysis of Winnicott – , this thesis intends to analyse the relations between the character of the unspeakable of experience in the poetics of childhood of Barros poetry and the psychoanalysis of Winnicott. The analysis of Barros’ poems and the ‘Estética da Ordinariedade’ just as the psychoanalysis that approaches the transitional and the potential space, it’s reiterated through this study of relevance of thinking of an ethical and aesthetic design for times in which violences concocted by man against man himself take shape. Based on literature research, it’s concluded that the dialogue between poetry and psychoanalysis franchise the look on man on man and his conditions to establish experiences that enrich and renew the psyche, as much from the point of view of extension of the speakable as from the aspects that are irreducible to the experience and are therefore unspeakable. Barros poetry is this graft that causes a profound alteration in the different layers of listening in psychoanalytical clinic, contributing to the childhood of man that can be reimagined and pronounced.
