The thesis seeks to explore one of the most singular features of Freudian thought, his radical position in the history of the ideas about language. One of my chief claims is that the Freudian endeavour is not oriented towards a conclusive theory of language as such, but of the conditions of its destruction, its exhaustion, its silence. The obscure centre of Freud's work, the passion for the shattering of language, manifests itself both as an affirmation and as a dissipation of the sense of speech, which cast some light upon the cardinal role of the notion of secrecy, not only in his comprension of language, but also in his conception of subjectivity. Thus, secrecy can be conceived as a fundamental feature of different facets of his writings. The first facet exhibits psychoanalysis as the inheritor of the progressive emergence of silence in the core of modern thought. I argue that the logic of secrecy which appears in Freud's early writings enacts the historical emergence of secrecy which pervaded different discourses of the nineteenth century. This singular logic had its origin at the confluence of the exalted discourses which enthrowned observation and experience in the positivistic conception of knowledge bred by the Enlightenment, the obscure cults of magnetism and the speculative conceptions of subjectivity which emerged from the crisis of the Enlightenment, with the rising of Romanticism and its powerful effects on the Western culture. The second facet exhibits the logic of secrecy as expressed by the acts of language. Secrecy introduces an inner discord in the meaning of signs: it reveals the obsolescence of the referential notion of truth. Allegory emerges from this discord as a privileged aesthetic and theoretical expression. Freud's theoretical creativity canceled the significance of the referential, discursive notion of truth with the violent implications of the notion of primary thought processes and a conception of primal experiences of pleasure and pain irreducible to the narrow margins of rationality. The radical dissipation of the conventional foundations of semantic truth brought into focus an aesthetic -Baroque~ conception of subjectivity. This vision pervades Freud's notion of psychical processes, and engendered a constellation of forms of theoretical expression: psychical processes were apprehended by allegorical figures: the fold, rhythm, movement, displacement involving paradoxical temporalities which offered a contrasting landscape of thought processes that informed desire and aroused anxiety; Freud created thus a theoretical chiaroscuro. A third facet involves two further Freudian notions: sexuality and pain. One of them, sexuality, is almost too notorious in Freud's work; the other, pain, was permanently and explicitly displaced, silenced, excluded. or even emphatically avoided in Freud's writings, and yet it is an notion inherent in his conception of subjectivity. Freud's subversion of the modem notion of experience might be thought of as founded upon his conception of the experience of pain as a constitution~ dimension of subjectivity, as its unspeakable, unapproachable, secret centre.

The thesis analyses the relations of psychology with literature by applying Freudian theories, and brings these relations into light in the novels of Doris Lessing, Yusuf Atilgan and D.M. Thomas. The first chapter clarifies the aim of the study and gives an overview of the relations between psychology and literature in the past and the present. It, then, provides brief background information about the theories of Freud and the relations of these theories with the themes, which are dealt with in the novels of the writers in question. The following chapters treat the novels according to the theories of Freud such as &ldquo / the Oedipus Complex, death and life instincts, unconscious, id, ego and superego&rdquo / , and therefore the thesis primarily focuses on the hidden feelings of the protagonists as well as their struggle in the twentieth century world. Through the analyses of the protagonists, the study asserts that Freud has been influential on the works of different authors in different cultures, which reinforces the idea of the universality of his psychoanalytical theories.

It goes without saying that Sigmund Freud was one of the most important contributors to the formation of psychological theory. Freud's theories were largely concerned with his construction of the role of a psychotherapist, and his psychoanalytical viewpoint. Though influential, Freud's psychoanalysis was also a business model for the new position of therapist, a role traditionally delegated to clergy members. That meant that Freud could put himself, as psychotherapist, in the esteemed position of clergy and become a sort of medical Father Confessor. To do that, he had to undermine the authority of the Church in any way possible. Whether intentional or not, Freud's outright dismissal of religion in psychotherapy is indicative of his desire to take its place, especially evidenced through his writings in The Interpretation of Dreams (1994). The problem with dismissing religion's role in psychotherapy has been discussed since Freud; he is not representative of all psychologists, or even of all members of the school of psychoanalysis. Most other theorists understood the value of religion both to the person and to therapy. Even if Freud were correct in his statements about the etiology of religious beliefs, he still ignored a potential source of therapeutic insight. This is a damaging strategy which was not universally shared; denying such an important part of the human experience is simply dangerous for the psychotherapist.

Calcula-se que ao longo de sua vida escreveu mais de 20.000 cartas. Todavia, as cartas a Fliess (Masson 1986), escritas entre 1887 e 1900 têm um lugar diferenciado das demais. No presente trabalho desenvolvemos a idéia de que a escrita das cartas a Fliess (1858-1928) são parte da invenção da psicanálise. O aforismo de Lacan "o inconsciente é estruturado como uma linguagem" impõe a consideração da divisão do sujeito Freud articulada ao seu desejo na teorização da psicanálise. A verdade buscada incessantemente por Freud levou-o à invenção psicanálise. Nesse percurso de muito trabalho e solidão intrínsecos ao objeto que não se deixa apreender, Fliess ocupou o lugar de outro semelhante, que acolhe e estimula, e também daquele que representa o saber científico. Como Freud mesmo chegou a dizer comparando-se com o trabalho do físico Einstein, que tivera Newton e tantos outros como mestres, seu trabalho era sem precedentes, Freud. Na solidão que essa condição lhe impunha, pela injunção da invenção de um saber inédito, ele tinha que supor o saber científico em algum lugar. Foi Fliess, seu amigo muito amado, o parceiro de sua incursão por territórios não nomeados e não descritos anteriormente. Joseph Breuer (1842-1925), que também fora muito próximo de Freud, predecessor desavisado nos primeiros espantos diante do enigma da histérica - Breuer tratou Bertha Pappenheim, conhecido caso Anna O, de 1880 a 1882 -, não suportou sustentar a etiologia sexual da neurose e afastou-se científica e pessoalmente de Freud. Charcot, a cujas demonstrações clínicas no Hospital La Salpetrière Freud assistira entre 1885-1886, franqueara o "ça n'empêche pas d'exister", que deslocava a palavra de autoridade superior da teoria para o real, mas também não demonstrou interesse especial em se aprofundar na psicologia das neuroses. Foi Wilhelm Fliess quem, na sua certeza fascinante acerca das causas e processos vitais da natureza, pôde sustentar para Freud o lugar da verdade científica para que Freud, dividido, pudesse articular a verdade do sujeito. A importância desta abordagem da escrita das cartas de Freud a Fliess, frisando a condição da escrita, está no que se pode colher de sua potência de transmissão. Concordando com Erik Porge (1998), as cartas a Fliess não devem ser vistas como objeto de curiosidade histórica ou documentos de uma subjetividade. A escrita das cartas implicou Freud de um modo radical, pois era com a escrita, articulada à teorização do enigma das neuroses, que Freud assumia seu dizer, e isso se fez graças ao moedor de significante, cujos dentes são as letras, como diz Pommier (2004). A escrita das cartas a Fliess tem a potência da transmissão do cerne da estrutura da invenção do fazer teórico da psicanálise de Freud: a letra de Freud. A amizade de grande intimidade entre esses homens, cujos caminhos só mais tarde se mostraram opostos, produziu um laço que é o discurso da psicanálise. É esse o reconhecimento que nosso trabalho procura expressar / Abstract: Freud (1856-1939), the inventor of psychoanalysis, was a prolific letter-writer, having written approximately 20,000 letters during his lifetime. But there is a special group of missives by Freud that have a special place in his life and in the history of psychoanalysis, namely, those he wrote to Wilhelm Fliess (1858-1928), between 1887 and 1900. In this thesis I elaborate on the idea that the writing of the letters to Fliess (Masson 1986) is part of the very invention of psychoanalysis. Lacan's aphorism "the unconscious is structured like a language" leads us to consider the division of the subject Freud and to articulate this division to his desire in the theorization of psychoanalysis. It can be said that the truth Freud incessantly sought, led to his invention of psychoanalysis. During the laborious and solitary quest intrinsic to an object that cannot be grasped, Fliess concurrently occupied, on the one hand, the place of the similar other that takes in and encourages and, on the other hand, the other who represents scientific knowledge. In the loneliness of unprecedented his unprecedented task, Freud himself went so far as to compare himself to Einstein, who held Newton and so many others as masters. In his task of inventing unprecedented knowledge, Freud had to suppose the existence of scientific knowledge somewhere. Fliess, his dear friend, became a partner to this navigation into uncharted waters, waters never before named or described. Fliess, in his fascinating certainty about the vital causes and processes of nature, sustained for Freud the place of scientific truth, and this allowed Freud, divided, to articulate the truth of the subject. The study of Freud's letters to Fliess, which underlines the condition of writing, is important for what can be gleaned from its power of transmission. As Erik Porge (1998) insists, the letters to Fliess should not be taken as historical curiosities or documents by a subjectivity. The writing of these letters radically implicated Freud in his new field. From this point of view, writing, articulated with the theorization of the enigma of the neuroses, was Freud's fundamental means of expressing himself, and the task was carried out thanks to the grinder of the signifier, whose teeth are letters, in Pommier's words (2004). The writing of the letters to Fliess has the power to transmit the essence of the structure of the invention of Freud's theoretical production of psychoanalysis: Freud's own letter. The intimate friendship between these two men, whose paths diverged only much later, produced a bond that is the discourse of psychoanalysis. The present thesis attempts to express this recognition / Doutorado / Doutor em Linguística
