A trama em atitude simbólica: um olhar da psicologia analítica de Jung sobre mãos que costuram, bordam e tecem

Abstract

NETO, P. E. W. C. The web in symbolic attitude: a Jung's analytical psychology glance at hands that sew, embroider and weave. Thesis presented to the Psychology Institute of the State University of São Paulo to obtain the title of PhD in Psychology of Learning and Development. In this study, we aim to weave a perspective, like a big patchwork quilt, to indicate possible meanings for sewing, embroidery and weaving, using, of the analytical psychology of Carl G. Jung as our fabric background. We comment some academic research on such activities in different times and contexts, some myths and tales, materials related to groups of women, facts with social-political content and data from a webpage with the theme of sewing. We seek to highlight different possibilities by which the symbolic attitude can be present in these activities, especially considering a society which is extremely patriarchal, which silences and diminishes handcraft, women and the feminine principle. We connect, by the thread established by the symbol and the transcendent function, textile and text and questioned ourselves about the peculiarities of contemporary life, strongly marked by abstractions and virtualities. We think over the creative aspects of the experiences of sewing in different contexts and on what can be considered its reinvention nowadays, including a symbolically dimension ruled by the thread of Eros without losing the possibility of reflection on the wireless reality of the virtual man.
