DIONISIO, Gustavo Henrique. Psychoanalysis, "literal art"?: Object and letter from a psychoanalytic point of view. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.2, pp.23-31. ISSN 2359-0769.  https://doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v17i2.5201.

Starting from the work of the psychoanalyst Serge Leclaire, we intend to discuss in this essay the concept of letter coined within psychoanalytic thought passing laterally by Jacques Lacan and then articulating it to a problematic of the field of arts by the way of aesthetic reflection and reception of the work of art. Thus, we try to hypothesize the existence of a "literal art", in order to demonstrate to what extent artists reach psychoanalytic truths "without depending" on the theoretical corpus of the first. By rubbing Leclaire's reflection with certain "literal" works of art, we propose a kind of twist in Lacan's earlier relation between the dimension of the letter and the place of the object a in psychoanalytic theory.
