Minerva Psichiatrica
|July 1, 1990
Summary
This study explores projective identification and mimesis in imaginary settings, revealing how subject-object fusion creates shared, super-individual experiences. The hunter myth exemplifies this impersonal, illusory dimension.
Area of Science:
- Psychoanalysis
- Literary Theory
Context:
- Examines the analytical relationship within an imaginary setting.
- Connects psychoanalytic concepts with narrative theory.
Purpose:
- To explore the relationship between projective identification and mimesis.
- To define the fusion of subject and object as a super-individual experience.
Summary:
- Projective identification (Klein, Bion) and mimesis are analyzed in imaginary contexts.
- Subject-object fusion signifies participation in a shared, "super-individual" experience.
- The hunter myth serves as a paradigm for this illusory encounter.
Impact:
- Provides a framework for understanding narrative and psychological dynamics.
- Highlights the role of imaginary settings in therapeutic and storytelling processes.
