Resumen

BARROS, Izelinda Garcia de. Imagination and curiosity. J. psicanal. [online]. 2009, vol.42, n.76, pp. 177-185. ISSN 0103-5835.

This paper was written for the 2009 opening class of the courses in the Institute of Psychoanalysis, Brazilian Society of Psychoanalysis in Sao Paulo. It was developed around two attributes that the author considers essential for the psychoanalytic clinic exercise - imagination and curiosity - which for that reason were quite suitable to be evoked on the above-mentioned occasion. The paper also brings to mind that imagination and curiosity permeate the psychoanalytic concepts of epistemophilic instinct and unconscious fantasy. Following a brief preamble about the history of these concepts in Psychoanalysis, comes some clinical material that makes it possible to clarify the first steps to build new knowledge from the interactions between the patient’s and the psychoanalyst’s imagination and curiosity inside the analysis room.

Palabras clave : Concepts development; Clinical investigation.
