A arte de escrever, com a palavra o Escritor AS VIVÊNCIAS DOS ESCRITORES LITERÁRIOS EM RELAÇÃO AO SEU TRABALHO: UMA ABORDAGEM PSICODINÂMICA

Abstract

The world's current work is presented by the plurality and complexity and the constant quest for emancipation of the subject and reduce risks to workers' health. Working is in the own existential meaning of social being. From technological and productive changes and the phenomenon of unemployment, the work became the central theme of scientific debates. This study aimed to analyze the experiences of literary writers concerning to their work as well their strategies to face suffering and turn it into pleasure. We started with Work Psychodinamic Clinic, concerning to the relationship between professional identity and art, work context organizing and worker subjective mobilization. In order to achieve these goals, this study aimed to identify the pleasure and suffering experiences as well to verify whether the writers use the sublimation mechanisms proposed by Freud (1914) as coping strategies for overcoming and transforming psychological distress. We aimed to identify the experiences of literary writers affiliated with Brazilian Writers Union, in Goiás. We made two studies: the first one was a documental search based on two sources interviews with the writers cited by the Reports on Brazilian Literature of Moreira Salles Institute and the Eder Chiodetto book named O lugar do escritor (The Writer Place). The second study was a descriptive and exploratory qualitative search with semistructured interviews on Christophe Dejours psychodinamic categories which were transcript and submitted to Silva Lane s discourse analysis. There was also a devolutive in which we seek an initial approximation to work clinic. We interviewed nine literary writers of both sexes, aged between 40 and 87 years, all of them affiliated with Brazilian Writers Union for more than two years, all with superior instruction and all with more than ten published and awarded works. The results show that literary writers work meaning is very singular compared to other activities in tradition economy. The constant search for new requirements and qualifications in order to entry an undetermined and informal market reveals a subject in constant feeling of lack, who reproduces the profession traditional ideology. The writers discourse reminds us to meet a social place in the singular and the collective, pointing the discursive nodes that make the subject responsible for the mismatch among the dialectic relation between objectivity and subjectivity mediated by the word. Literary writers update their actions using defensive strategies increasingly transient and dynamic in social context. Considering the found presuppositions, it was possible to understand that the literary writers discourse is inseparable in the relationship between subject and work, in which the possibility of turning suffering into pleasure is a constant challenge and they only can produce because they have a sublimatory meaning in that they do and why they do it.
