Este texto é uma análise etnopsiquiátrica
de uma antiga balada espanhola, ainda
hoje popular, cujas origens remontam ao
séc. XVI, ou talvez antes.
O Romance de Delgadina conta a história
de um rei, que apaixonado por uma das
suas filhas, tenta forçá-la a tornar-se sua
amante, alimentando-a apenas a peixe e
água salgada. Os outros membros da família
recusam ajudá-la: a mãe, ciumenta pelo
amor do rei, as irmãs com medo de serem
punidas com a morte. Depois de uma longa
resistência, ela aceita, pedindo água para
beber, mas esta chega demasiado tarde, e
ela morre antes de cometer o incesto.
A análise da canção revela os desejos
incestuosos da rapariga, primeiro projectados
no pai e mais tarde sentidos como persecutórios,
uma interpretação que explica
por outro lado, o comportamento incompreensível
da mãe.
A nossa análise foca também a erotização
do alimento e as suas relações com fantasias
infantis de fecundação oral e as causas
psicológicas da anorexia mental. Este distúrbio alimentar, predominantemente adolescente,
no qual as raparigas incapazes de
assumir a sua crescente sexualidade, recusam
o alimento como recurso para impedir
o seu desenvolvimento físico.
O fim trágico da heroína, delineia alguns
aspectos culturais específicos das relações
entre amor e morte, sendo a última visita
como o único castigo admissível para o
incesto, mesmo se cometido apenas em fansia.
This paper is an ethnopsychiatric analysis of an ancient Spanish ballad, popular even in our days, whose origins can be traced back to the XVI century, or even earlier. The Romance de Delgadina (roughly - «Ballad of the thin young girl»), tells the tale of a king who, in love with one of his daughters, tries to force her to became his lover by feeding her only with fish and salted water. The other members of the family refuse to help her: her mother out of jealousy for the love of the king, her sisters out of fear of being punished by death. After a long resistance, she accepts, demanding to drink some water, but it arrives too late and she dies before committing incest. The analysis of the song reveals the hidden incestuous wishes of the young girl, first projected unto the father and later experienced as persecutory, an interpretation that accounts for the, otherwise, incomprehensible behavior of the mother. Our analysis also focuses on the erotization of the food and his relationships with infantile phantasies of oral impregnation and the psychological causes of the anorexia mental. That eating disorder, predominantly adolescent, in which young girls, unable to cope with their budding sexuality, use food refusal in an effort to stop their corporal development. The tragic end of the heroin underlines some culture specific aspects of the relationship between love and death, the later seen as the only admissible punishment for incest,
