O presente trabalho aborda a obra literária A Vénus das Peles de Leopold
Sacher-Masoch. Trata-se de uma narrativa que tem como objetivo entrelaçar a teoria
psicanalítica com algumas das principais temáticas presentes na obra estudada.
O trabalho proposto encontra-se composto por duas partes. Na primeira parte,
poder-se-á verificar uma introdução aos temas abordados, seguida de uma reflexão
sobre a relevância da arte, particularmente da literatura, em comunhão com a psicanálise
e, posteriormente, algumas considerações teóricas sobre a perversão e o masoquismo, à
luz dos constructos psicanalíticos, ao longo dos tempos.
A segunda parte, refere-se à apresentação da obra A Vénus das Peles bem como
do seu criador, Leopold Sacher-Masoch. De seguida, dizendo respeito à parte mais
multidimensional do trabalho realizado, dar-se-á a exploração de alguns dos pontos que
consideramos como centrais na obra, com o apoio da revisão teórica e da reflexão
subjetiva sobre a mesma, proporcionando forma ao sentir e ao deambular intrapsíquico.
Confirmamos, em última análise, que as suspeitas criadas em torno da vida e
obra de Sacher-Masoch, possuem fundamento, na medida em que as teorias formuladas
sobre o seu funcionamento, predominantemente masoquista, se impõem.
ABSTRACT------The following essay addresses the literary work written by the Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch: ‘Venus in Furs’. This essay at its core has the goal to reconcile the psychoanalytic theory with some of the main themes broached in Sacher- Masoch’s book. The essay is composed by two segments. The first segment is characterized by an introduction to the broached themes followed by a reflexion upon the relevance of the artistic medium, in particular the literary medium in communion with psychoanalysis, this will be followed by some theoretical conjectures about perversion and masochism in connection with the psychoanalytic constructs throughout the times. The second segment pertains to the author Leopold von Sacher-Machoch and his literary work ‘Venus in Furs’. This segment explores the multidimensional side of this essay, a great deal of focus will be given to the points considered to be the most relevant in Sacher-Masoch’s book. This will be supported by a theoretical revision and subjective reflexion upon the literary piece thus allowing the intrapsychic feel and exploration to take shape. Ultimately we are able to ascertain that the suspicions created around the life and work of Sacher-Masoch are founded. The grounds for such a statement can be found in the theories formulated with basis on his psyche, wich undeniably was predominantly masochistic.
