A dialogue between psychoanalysis and poetry skirting the hole of death

Abstract

The work is born between disciplines: Psychoanalysis, Literature, Poetry; a parallelism between Psychoanalysis and poetry is done, based on the work from Edmundo Camargo, ascertaining the invitation from the Psychoanalysis to knit with the word, to make signify beyond the brut fact. The living word says what it does not say, states beyond a metaphor or ‘metaphorizes’ the real. Evidently, this is an interstice in which unconscious and poetry manage to touch each others shared skin folds under a sill. Thus and so, Psychoanalysis and Poetry manage to tell something that can not be told. The analogy between the analytical word and the poetic one: the Analyst reveals in its saying the non correspondence with the word from the other. The analytical word and the poetic word have a way of saying in silence, in gesture, in a whisper, in a small act, in a scansion. Both words do not get registered in the prosaic syntaxis of sayings, they go always beyond and so they constitute themselves in a sphere of significations in the body, they touch it, stir it, create resonances.
