Chris Kyle: Uma análise dinâmica do melhor atirador especial da América
Abstract(s)
O livro auto biográfico Sniper Americano retrata a vivência de Chris Kyle, antes,
durante e depois da sua participação numa das mais controversas guerras: a Invasão do
Iraque.
Através de uma perspectiva psicanalítica, pretendeu-se analisar os processos
psicológicos inerentes à sua vivência enquanto militar, tais como a Perturbação de Stress
Pós-Traumático, o que o levou a assumir um ideal que não era dele e a pertencer a uma
ideologia, bem como a falta de remorsos ao assassinar indivíduos.
Foi tida em consideração a cultura onde viveu, o facto da América ser um país
muito patriota e como respeitam os militares. Foi abordada também a forma como os
militares se veem entre si, que tipo de relações têm e quão fortes são.
Diversos autores abordaram as temáticas centrais desta dissertação, como o
remorso, o patriotismo, o sentimento grupal e as ideologias. Assim, colocámos como
hipótese principal: Porque Chris aderiu a uma ideologia? Tentando também entender
quais as consequências da mesma no seu mundo interno.
The autobiography, American Sniper, portrays the life of Chris Kyle, before, during and after his service in one of the most controversial wars ever; the Iraq Invasion. Through psychoanalytic perspective, we analysed the psychological processes inherent to his life as soldier, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the lack of guilt experienced when he kills and why become part of an ideology. We considered the culture where he lived, American patriotism, and the nation’s respect for the armed forces. We also addressed how the military perceive each other; the relationships they have and the strength of these relationships. Many authors have studied the central themes of this dissertation, such as guilt, patriotism, group morale and ideology. So our main question is: Why did Chris join this ideology? Trying to understand the consequences of it in his internal world.
