Paraísos artificiais e a simbologia dos arquétipos na modernidade

Abstract

This study aimed to problematize issues related to the subject in modernity and the importance of the poet Charles Baudelaire in his respective poetics. Through the work Artificial paradises and a theoretical reflection, we seek to identify the archetypal construction of the fragmented personality of subjects under the hallucinogenic effect of hashish and opium drugs. From the corpus, we propose to investigate the process of how these archetypal representations were consolidated in the psyche of modern subjects, based on what psychoanalyst C. Jung (2008) studies about archetypes and symbols of modernity. Thus, we observe the archetypal "inheritance" of modern subjects, retaking some literary aesthetics. Romanticism, symbolism, surrealism and transcendentalism each contributed symbolically to the fragmentation of the subject and his escape from reality. The research is qualitative and bibliographic and to achieve the proposed objective we base ourselves on the discussions of the following authors: Friedrich (1978), Paz (1982), Goethe et al (1987)), Benjamin (1994), Raymond (1997), Hauser (1998), Blanchot (2005), Berman (2007), Bosi (2015) and Paz (2015). The study is divided in two parts, each with their respective subdivisions, at the first moment we stop to trace the symbolic path, through their representations in each literary movement, drawing a parallel with their inferences in the work. Then, we present Jung's conceptions of archetypes of modernity, analyzing their relationship with the observations made in the work, in order to understand the personality of these subjects immersed in this ruptured reality. Throughout the research, we realize through the reflection and retaking of these archetypes present in the work, that the perception of fragmented individual of these subjects happens due to a stable construction, rooted in their psyche over time, and they do not find this balance to which they are. adapted into the chaotic society of modernity.
