Fantastic and psychoanalysis: historicals and discursives relationships
Abstract
The presuppositions of a proposal of a interlocution between psychoanalysis and fantastic literature are clarified through the mapping of the exchange network established between these two fields over the last 140 years. From the rescue of the definitions and chronologies of the fantastic, a schematic picture of its different phases and aspects is drawn, while at the same time a parallel with the history of psychoanalysis and some of its theoretical and ethical foundations is established. The most common and relevant features between the two fields are: the tension and closeness to scientific discourse and romantic tradition, the emphasis on sexuality and psychic division, the inquiry of a totalizing rationality and the use of an aesthetic modulation in relation to the anguish and the phenomenon of the uncanny. In the end, the current state of relations between these two fields is questioned, emphasizing some contributions that fantastic literature can offer to psychoanalytic clinical research.
