JUNGIAN ARCHETYPES IN CLARICE LISPECTOR

Abstract

The objective of this scientific article was to analyze the Jungian archetypes in the works Family Ties (1960), The Hour of the Star and A Breath of Life (1978), by Clarice Lispector (1977). To achieve this purpose, it is initially sought to discuss the psyche, through the analysis of the psyche and mirroring, that is, the relationship between the self and the other, the other being a part of oneself. The Jungian typology has two psychological types, extrovert and introvert, and was a milestone in the author's work and in his Analytical Psychology. Through descriptive and bibliographic research, it was possible to consider and question the unequal aspects of psychic functioning that involve the field of the unconscious and the Jungian typology, such as the specificities of the types, the compensation process, the psychic balance and the investigation of the initial disposition for each type. The results of the research demonstrate that the concept of personality and its support in the Jungian Typology subsidized the works of Clarice Lispector, to the extent that they allowed an analysis guided by the contributions of complex analytical/Jungian psychology.
