A Angústia em Eu Receberia as Piores Notícias dos Seus Lindos Lábios: Uma articulação entre a psicanálise e literatura

Abstract

This work involves a psychoanalytic understanding of the novel Eu Receberia as Piores Notícias dos Seus Lindos Lábios by the brazilian writer Marçal Aquino. Psychoanalysis has a close relationship with art and literature, the latter, serving as a means to access psychoanalytic foundations and to apprehend them, as well as the knowledge that literature can convey. In this context, it sought to link the concepts of anguish in psychoanalysis with the historical conceptualizations of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, its primary scope was to examine the story of the character Lavínia, situated in the novel. Through a psychoanalytic lens, it implies an analysis of this character, positioning a possible clinical case of the same – her childhood, internal and experiential conflicts, and transformations throughout the narrative. This illustrates the complex interplay between the individual, society, and other elements within the plot
