Abstract(s)
A vida de Jorge Amado é marcada por um intenso investimento intelectual (resultando numa
sede de conhecimento transversal a toda a sua vida), obrigando-se a um constante movimento
e investimento em diversas atividades e projetos (alfabetização e literatura na infância,
viagens na adolescência, política na idade adulta); pela relação muito próxima com a mãe
(hiperproteção associada à falta de estabelecimento de limites); por uma história relacional
variada embora, pouco investida. O presente trabalho pretendeu, através de um estudo de caso
exploratório e utilizando o método da análise de conteúdo (da obra de Jorge Amado,
Gabriela, Cravo e Canela), compreender o tipo de personalidade de Jorge Amado. Os
resultados indicaram uma forte prevalência de características narcísicas (tais como a
idealização/desvalorização, narcisismo moral e intelectual, forte necessidade de amor do
outro), o que levou ao estudo e aprofundamento da personalidade narcísica.
A personalidade narcísica é caracterizada pela existência de um falso self cuja genuína
constituição não foi permitida na relação primária e assistindo-se, por isso, a uma inibição do
investimento objetal e, consequentemente, a uma idealização de si (através da função do Ideal
do Ego) e do outro (através de um investimento especular, na medida em que o outro se
apresenta como um reforço narcísico).
ABSTRACT: Jorge Amados’ life story is scorched by a strong intelectual investment (a thirst of knowledge that spans through his life), an uncanny dedication to inumerous activities (literacy and literature, in his childhood, trips at adolescence and political at adult age); by the close relationship with his mother (hyperprotection associated with lack of boundarie establishing); by a varied relational history, though few invested. With this work we wanted to comprehend, by an exploratory case study and using the method of contenance analysis (the oeuvre of Jorge Amados’ Gabriela, Cravo e Canela), Jorge Amados’ type of personality. The results allowed to verify a strong prevalence of narcissistic characteristics (idealization/devaluation, moral and intelectual narcissism), which led to the study and deepening of the narcissistic personality. Narcissistic personality is characterized by the existence of a false self whose genuine constitution wasn’t allowed in the primal relation, thus leading to an inhibition of the objectal investment and, consequently, an idealization of the self (through the Ideal function of the Ego) and the other (through a mirrored investment, as it presents as a narcissistic reinforcement).
