Abstract

TOGNOLLI, Dora. Penetráveis: art in the clinical practice. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.64, pp.227-240. ISSN 0101-3106.

The author departs from a clinic narrative that announces the interruption of a analytic process in order to examine metapshychology and the path of instincts from the body to the speech, until they reach communications and the transference of available objects, among which is the analyst. The search of treatment reactivates reminiscences lost in time, which cause the patient to suffer and create impasses in face of a new circuit of representations. The artistic work of Hélio Oiticica in the 1960s named Penetráveis is used as a metaphor for border experiences: the labyrinths that Oiticica builds depend on the spectator's active participation, in the search of new ways of expressions. The crossing of the Penetráveis is compared to a rite of passage - a transformation of both the body and the symbolic. The text approaches subjects related to the body, sensitivity, barriers, esthetic experience and disruptions that are inherent to the analytical process.
