A Literatura e Abertura de Sentido: Um Relato de Experiência Numa Visada Heideggeriana

Abstract

The present work sought to reflect on literature as a sensitizer of existential themes in the formation of the psychologist, from the account of my experience as a graduate of the Psychology course of a public university. Specific objectives are: 1) Thematize the literature of Clarice Lispector as a phenomenological experience for the reader; 2) Relate the literary work "The passion according to G.H." to the opening of meanings according to Heidegger and 3) To highlight the opening of meaning as a promoter of personal change. In this context, reading is considered a transforming instrument of reality, as well as culture, being at the service of citizenship. In Brazilian literature, Clarice Lispector stands out for translating the deepest and simplest feelings, as well as existential reflections, through written artistic expression. In the existentialist context, Heidegger is one of the great philosophers to theorize about the sense of being, as well as the openness to the world of possibilities of a subject. Thus, the work "The passion according to G.H." and heideggerian theory were used in order to relate them, as well as to my experience when reading the work. From the exhibition of the work and the making of an experience report, I conclude that the work made me think about my performance as a future psychologist. It broadened my gaze to the possibilities, not reducing them and allowing me to see the unveiled phenomena. Personally, I felt more authentic and seeing myself as a human being with defects and imperfections.
