Poetry and truth in psychoanalysis

Abstract

In this paper, after Freud’s work, we intend to show that, in Psychoanalisis, the recourse of a narrrative rethoric of a literary kind, is not an eventual tríck, but it is founded right at the begining of the possibility of transmission of an experience through a text that, at
the same time gives Freud the chance for a metapsychological articulation. This has not to do only with the transmission of the clinical stories, but the literary way is present all through Freud’s work. The freudian project is not a literary one, but it
is located in the field of what has been called human sciences, which aim, as Bajtin says, is not a reificated object, but an expressive and speaking one, that does not agree with itselí, and which is unlimited in its sense and signification.. Then, the dialogical
and intertextual character that occurs in the hole spectrum of human sciences that, While rescueing the singularity expressed as a poetical universe, it becomes a knoWledge that can be universally transmitted, as to say, the knowledge of science.
