Re-enchant and resignifications in modern fairy tale: an analysis of A moça tecelã

Abstract

This work is built up from an interdisciplinary approach between literature and psychoanalysis, whose link consists of a contemporary fairy tale A Moça Tecelã, Marina Colasanti. In this study, we create possible meanings related to human development, under the watchful psychoanalytic walking, so the paths of analysis of Bruno Bettelheim (2007). Thus, we assume that fairy tales help in the understanding of unconscious conflicts, inherent in every human being. From the psychoanalytic meanings achieved, we seek to broaden the discussion by proposing symbolizations possible regarding the type of reader that the story suggests. In A Moça Tecelã, we see the representation of adulthood, as well as the symbolization of a mature reader, and therefore, productive. Thus, from the meanings of the tale, it was possible to observe the relationship between literature and psychoanalysis, which together favor the formation of subject-readers.
