Art is a form of aesthetic expression that uses oral, plastic, sound and kinetic resources to express ideas and emotions. Art is part of the constitution of the human and culture even in the limits, in the most indomitable and paradoxical areas of its nature. One of these territories is the field of madness. Throughout the history of psychiatry and the existence of devices for the treatment of madness, art appears most of the time marginally. From the collection started by Kraëpelin and continued by Hans Prinzhorn at the end of the 19th century, through the experiments of the 1930s and 1940s with mescaline in psychiatric patients, Until the most recent works of art derived from the proposals of Edward Adamson, art has appeared sometimes as a movement of resistance and counterculture and sometimes as an allied instrument of therapeutic techniques. Since its inception, psychoanalysis has been interested in art. Throughout his written production, Sigmund Freud understands art as a cornerstone of culture, but also as a mechanism of renewal of it, referring to works of art, classical literary texts, Greek tragedies, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Hoffmann, Goethe, among others. Psychoanalysis finds in art the expression of the most sublime and at the same time tragic aspects of culture and, simultaneously, discovers in it the manifestation of the uniqueness of the person, making it the privileged ground for inquiry into the psychology of creativity and sublimation. The strip "art and psychoanalysis" is a space that opens to think from the perspective of psychoanalysis and the social sciences the relationship between madness and art.

 

Objectives:

  1. To bring together students of different types and levels of education who are interested in the study of art from the perspective of psychoanalysis.
  2. To review literature from the humanities, social sciences and cultural studies and, of course, from psychoanalysis that allows us to study art as a polyphonic and revolutionary human activity.
  3. To support the development of research projects in the undergraduate and postgraduate degree work on the central themes of the nursery.
  4. To study and apply innovative qualitative research methodologies for the study of art.

 

Seedling Research Lines: Psychoanalysis and feminism, psychoanalysis and creation.
