A criação artística e a experiência estética na obra de Sigmund Freud

Abstract

The relations between psychoanalysis and art are established since the beginning of Sigmund Freud's work. However, It is possible to observe a multiplicity of ways of thinking about this relationship, which embrace a series of specific interests and problems at each moment, although they do not address the totality of the artistic phenomenon. This work consists of an attempt to elucidate two specific aspects of the Freudian theory about the artistic phenomenon: artistic creation and aesthetic enjoyment. We conclude that there are two approaches to these two aspects in the work of the author: one of intrapsychic, under the aegis of a representational theorization; And an intersubjective one, which configures a dimension of aesthetic experience that involves a possibility of figuration of the unrepresentable.
