FREUD'S "PSYCHOPATHOLOGY OF EVERYDAY LIFE" IN THE DISCURSIVE FIELD OF "MYTHOLOGIES" BY R. BART

Abstract

The relevance of this article is due to the interest of literary and cultural thought in the phenomenon of mutual influences of iconic figures of the humanitarian discursive field, to which S. Freud and R. Bart can undoubtedly be attributed. The methodology of the article was determined by the approaches of S. Freud and R. Bart themselves, contributing to the procedure for the appropriate decoding of Bart's “Mythologies” from the standpoint of Freudian psychoanalysis, in particular directly the theory of “psychopathologies of everyday life”. The purpose of the article is to analyze the factors of the ideological orientation of Bart's “Mythologies” in accordance with the discourse of S. Freud in “Psychopathology of Everyday Life”. The goal determined the corresponding tasks: 1) to identify the conditioning of the Freudian discursive context of R. Bart's research strategies implemented in Mythologies; 2) correlate the personalities of S. Freud and R. Bart as leaders of psychoanalysis and semiotics with the concept of Apollonian and Dionysian discursive formations; 3) to trace the formation of a discursive field of theatricality in the reception of R. Bart in accordance with Freudian psychoanalytic attitudes. The above works of S. Freud and R. Bart have enough internal switches: this is a study of psychopathologies, mythologies and ideologies. R. Bart's opinion regarding discourse allows us to emphasize those processes that generate a discursive field, reflecting the deep relationship of discourse, connotations and ideology. The "mythologies" of R. Bart not only appealed to one degree or another to the Freudian "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" as an instrument of semiotically oriented thinking, but also, for their part, highlighted the interdependence of the processes of mythologization by society of their iconic realities and the corresponding psychoanalytic context.
