Abstract

Writers devote their lives to find words that faithfully resemble what is at the core of human experience and existence. Thus, psychologists interested in understanding human development in everyday life could turn toward writers and poets with humble curiosity. In this article, we illustrate how a narrative analysis of a work of art can be done, taking “The Art of Being Fragile. How Leopardi can Save your Life” by the Italian writer and teacher Alessandro D’Avenia as a case. In addition, we reflect upon the mastery with which the author sheds light on aspects that theories in cultural psychology have tried to unveil. Such aspects are: (a) poetic activism: a revolution of the poetics of everyday life; (b) the poetics of human development; (c) the beauty within the fragile as a master; and (d) the intuition of the spirit as an invitation.

重新审视“脆弱的艺术”:为什么文化心理学需要文学和诗歌

作家们毕生致力于寻找与人类经验和存在的核心内容忠实相似的词语。因此，对理解日常生活中人类发展感兴趣的心理学家可以转向具有谦逊好奇心的作家和诗人。在这篇文章中，我们以意大利作家兼教师Alessandro D'Avenia的《脆弱的艺术：利奥帕尔迪如何拯救你的生命》为例，说明了如何对一件艺术作品进行叙事分析。此外，我们还反思了作者对文化心理学理论试图揭示的方面的掌握。这些方面是：（a）诗歌激进主义：日常生活诗学的革命；（b）人类发展诗学；（c）脆弱中的美如大师；以及（d）作为邀请的精神的直觉。
