Abstract(s)
Eric Arthur Blair, sob o seu pseudónimo George Orwell, foi um dos autores mais
lidos e influentes do século XX, com uma obra de profundidade ímpar sobre os
acontecimentos sociais e políticos do Império Britânico e da Europa da primeira metade do
século. A pessoa por detrás do pseudónimo, no entanto, continua a ser encarada na cultura
popular como complexa e misteriosa. Neste sentido, o objectivo do estudo passou pela
análise da vida e da obra do autor, recorrendo a três das principais biografias do autor,
segundo uma perspectiva psicanalítica, da qual emergiram três dimensões pertinentes e
sobre os quais o presente estudo se focou: as oscilações identificatórias, a esquizóidia e o
narcisismo. O estudo pretendeu perceber a forma como estas dimensões condicionaram e
moldaram a sua vida, bem como a forma como se manifestaram, directa ou indirectamente,
na sua obra literária.
ABSTRACT: Eric Arthur Blair, under his pseudonym George Orwell, was one of the most read and influential authors of the twentieth century, with a work of unique profundity about the social and politic scene of the British Empire and Europe of the first half of the century. The person behind the pseudonym, however, remains in popular culture as unusually complex and mysterious. Thereby, the purpose of this essay was to analyze the life and work of the author, using three of the main author biographies, according to the psychoanalytic point of view, from which emerged three main dimensions and which this study focused: identifications and their oscillations, schizoid organization and narcissism. This study intended to comprehend how these dimensions conditioned and molded his life, as well as the way they manifested their selves, direct or indirectly, in his literary work.
