PRADO, Rafael Auler de Almeida; CALDAS, Marcus Tulio; EFKEN, Karl Heinz  y  BARRETO, Carmem Lúcia Brito Tavares. Poetic language and existential phenomenological clinic: rapprochements with Gaston Bachelard. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.2, pp. 216-223. ISSN 1809-6867.

Existential phenomenological psychology criticizes a conception of language defined by criterions, categories or concepts. This article consists of theoretical reflection, with the aim of presenting poetic imagination as a conception of language articulated to comprehension. We understand language as a signifier gesture, according to Merleau-Ponty and in opposition to empiricist or intellectualist conceptions. Bachelard's "creative imagination" distinguishes itself from the imagination's usual reference - memory's byproduct. The poetic imagination, according to Bachelard's conception, consists of a type of language by which we can fully experience the sense of something. This experience allows us to take hold of multiple meanings that relate to the world that surrounds us.

Palabras clave : Language; Meaning; Poetic imagination; Phenomenological existential psychology.
