De onde falam os poetas: um estudo psicanalítico sobre arte e melancolia em baudelaire.

Abstract

This article has the general objective of reflecting, according to Baudelaire's productions, on artistic creation and its correlation with the melancholic subject from the psychoanalytic reference; as well as having specific objectives to (1)present the concept of melancholy in accordance with psychoanalytic theory and (2)discuss on artistic production and its correlation with sublimation. To do this, we start from a narrative review methodology, using Freud’s productions about melancholy and what is designed for sublimation; as well as authors who develop and deepen psychoanalytic knowledge in these respective themes. From this, we resorted to the productions of the poet Charles Baudelaire, in his book “The spleen of Paris”, to correlate the themes art and melancholy. We thus find an important characteristic of the use of art as a way of representing suffering, which emerges as a facilitator of the construction and expression of this subject's internal processes. As well as its role as an intermediary in the subject's disconnection with reality and its demands, which are important factors present in the clinic of melancholics. Keywords: Psychoanalysis. Melancholy. Art. Suffering.
