HIRATA, Ricardo Alvarenga. The soul river: Reflections about the paulistanos cultural complex archetypical ecology. Bol. psicol [online]. 2007, vol.57, n.127, pp. 165-182. ISSN 0006-5943.
The aim of this work is to examine the current ecological crisis under the perspective of Analytical Psychology. We believe that one of the pillars of this crisis rests in the own relationship, psychological and spiritual, between São Paulos inhabitants and the Tietê river. Analysing the imaginary linked to the river since the XVI th century to the present, as well as the river and the waters symbolism, we identified a psychic conflict that has created a scission between nature versus civilization. Finally, we conclude that the ecological problem in the Tietê river is a symptom of a cultural complex, present and active in the collective psyche of São Paulos inhabitants.
