ADOLESCENCE AND PSYCHIC WORK: PSYCHOANALYTIC CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT SUICIDE IN SOME SONGS
Abstract
The present article conducted a psychoanalytic investigation about adolescence and suicide through a theoretical elaboration and the examination of some Brazilian songs that present this theme. Based on the psychoanalytic approach to adolescence, the Freudian conception of psychic work is emphasized. This is necessary in the operation of subjective update that makes possible the adolescent passage and has similarities with the process of mourning. This point of convergence is the support of the approach that we propose between adolescence, suicide and their fictional narratives, including the songs. We understand the scope and limits of these sublimated forms of discourse with which many adolescents identify. On the one hand, the songs can constitute narratives that give a treatment to the anguish that emerges with the onset of puberty, enabling singular constructions through the word. On the other hand, the immersion of the subject in a discourse on death can intensify the anguish and cause identifications welded by a deadly joy, precipitating the act.Downloads
