CAETANO, Aurea Afonso M.. The Southern Highway: movement and stoppage. Junguiana [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.75-88.  Epub 29-Nov-2024. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v41i1.19.

In this text, I intend to work symbolically on some intersections between Júlio Florêncio Cortázar’s short story “The Southern Highway” and analytical psychology, thereby discussing concepts such as ego and persona. I make some approximations and associations between aspects explored by Cortázar in this short story and the challenges of our contemporary life, which allow for a reflection on the ephemeral yet intense encounters that can define and structure our relationships and the profound need for contact that is becoming increasingly important and challenging. I end the text with an approximation between aspects of the story and the movements of isolation and stoppage that we also compulsorily experienced during the recent pandemic.

Palavras-chave : Ego; persona; individual and collective; analytical psychology.
