Abstract

AZAMBUJA, Deodato Curvo de. Solitude and postmodernity. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.54, pp. 73-79. ISSN 0101-3106.

The author investigates multiple faces of solitude in the postmodernity, such as exposed in cartoons, social network, films and literature, and try to articulate these manifestations with clinical developments. He discusses the concept of "feeling of solitude" in M. Klein, centered in the maternal object, and points to a personal interpretation of the parental image as the primary determinant of all helplessness and feeling of solitude.

Keywords : Solitude; Helplessness; Postmodernity; Individualism/Narcisism; Paternal image.
