Abstract

D'AGORD, Marta Regina de Leão; TRISKA, Vitor Hugo Couto; SUDBRACK, Renato Pernigotti  and  SIPPERT, Carlos Adriano. From the disquieting strangeness to the estrangement as a method. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1-2, pp. 243-264. ISSN 1518-6148.

Fundamental psychopathology places a question about the subject who suffers and not about the observable functional changes, such as those that affect the sensory-perceptual function. In this approach, the psychoanalytic clinic takes place considering the way the subject tells and elaborates his experience, so that a sudden feeling of strangeness or desrealization can lead to a subjective enrichment. This paper compares two situations of perplexity. The first series of scenes refers to Freud's text "A disturbance of memory on the Acropolis", in which an individual transforms a perplexity situation into a knowledge about himself. The second situation refers to scenes of the character Stephen Dedalus in Joyce's text "A portrait of the artist as a young man", who, in one episode, lives his feelings towards himself and others as uncanny and, later, takes the uncanny feelings as a method to work the language. Can one feel himself uncanny in relation to his own language, in the sense of having uncanny feelings towards oneself or towards the own language? In this case, the uncanny feeling becomes a method of poetic creation: one can play with the own language by disassembling and reassembling the words to discover new strangeness. The analysis of these two situations leads to the distinction between the writing fiction of the case by psychoanalysis and the writing fiction of characters in literature, by the author.
