TAVARES, Pedro Heliodoro de Moraes Branco. Fausto como paradigma da melancolia. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp. 459-486. ISSN 1518-6148.

In the present article we intend to demonstrate, by following Freudian ways of constructing his theories on the psychoanalytical nosography based on paradigmatic cases - such as Dora, for hysteria; the Rat-man, for the obsessive neurosis and Schreber, for psychosis - how we could think of a model for demonstration and debate, on the controversial structure or clinical type of melancholy in the literary subject of Faust as it's best example. Since the same Freud has taught us to learn with the masterpieces of universal literature and made himself of his classic clinical cases great literary works and characters, we take the protagonist of his most quoted Drame (Goethe's Faust) as a type of fictional "support" (Anlehnung) for a metapsychology of melancholy concerning it's relations with knowledge, truth, esthetics, inhibition, and so on. For that, we count as an important background concerning Melancholy and it's relation with esthetics, on the works of Marie-Claude Lambotte and so we will try to demonstrate how Faust can display not only the limitations of that clinical structure (narcissist neurosis, according to Lambotte) but brings also the keys for a savoir-faire based on it's subjective conditions.
