A escuta a partir da Natureza e da Observação em Grande Sertão: Veredas, de Rosa

Abstract

As Manoel T. Berlinck highlights, the clinical method is a result of a somewhat passive positioning, accounting for Freud’s use of the term “hovering attention” when referring to psychoanalytic listening. It is, in fact, the filling of a void occupied by a representation, or, in other words, by something whose existence is absent, despite its presence. Observation involves Lacan’s Symbolic/Real/Imaginary trio, and includes that which makes no sense, that which is strange and the Freudian Umheimlich . This article uses the concepts of Nature (Sertao/Sertanejo) and Observation as a starting point in order to interpret the representations of jaguncos to feature in the narratives and neologisms so lovingly researched by Guimaraes Rosa. The aim is to reflect on ethics woven into the sustaining of desire, despite the surprising circumstances and labyrinths that life throws before us.
