A reconfiguração do imaginário na adolescência: um recorte teórico em O barão nas árvores, de Ítalo Calvino, à luz da psicanálise

Abstract

This research addresses the imaginary field and adolescence, with the objective to know: What place does the imagery in the reconfiguration of adolescence? We also intend to investigate, through psychoanalysis, which elements and complexes build the subject's imagination, and understand how adolescents recognize themselves when it does not conform to an image. Research is delimited by the analysis of the book by Italo Calvino (2008), entitled O Barão nas Árvores (The Baron in the trees), which presents the dilemmas of alienation-separation operation of some characters in order to perform a subjective link in the social. It also covered a focus on adolescence today. The method of approach was based on a literature search. The bibliographical research is constructed from the theoretical corpus of reference to Freudian-Lacanian. The research results are analyzed using procedures for data analysis and use the techniques of guided reading by listening and instrumental transfer. We conclude that imagination in adolescence works as an edge or subjective safety net for the experiences that make up the subject throughout life.
