SALZTRAGER, Ricardo    LONGOBUCO, Nilcineia Neves. When to elaborate leads "to forget": about the creative dimension of forgetfulness. []. , 50, 2, pp.181-200. ISSN 0101-4838.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the creative dimension of forgetfulness through a discussion about the concept of psychic elaboration. We start from the assumption that to elaborate implies "to forget" conflicts, losses or resentments and, with this, the subject resignifies its history and is transformed. The examination is done through a dialogue between Nietzsche's theory and Freud's clinical texts, emphasing on the change that occurred in his theory from the formulation of the conflict between Eros and Thanatos.
