Os caminhos da infância e da violência no conto “Menina a Caminho”, no ambulatório NUAVIDAS e nas indagações psicanalíticas

Abstract

The relation between Literature and Psychoanalysis is at the base of Freud's first formulations. Inaugurating a new view at the unconscious, the viennese master differentiated himself from the prevailing sovereignty at the time and, in addition to medical knowledge, developed his theory from the dialogue with various areas of knowledge. This interface also crosses my formation and constitutes the starting point for the construction of this work. Moving from the Languagues Course, first graduation, to the Psychology Course, common themes and concerns gradually acquired space. Especially from the experience as an intern at the Nucleus for Assistance to Victims of Sexual Assault (NUAVIDAS), an outpatient clinic located at the Teaching Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia (HCU-UFU), childhood and sexual violence became objects of investigation and discussion. Based on Raduan Nassar’s “Menina a Caminho” (1997), which narrates the trajectory of a girl walking through the city, this work aims to reflect on the path of children when faced with situations of violence and with the impasses of their own bodies. Far from trying to analyze the story or the characters, the work will serve as an analytical base that will help in the way of reflections on childhood and infantile, from the interface between Literature and Psychoanalysis and my experiences and assistance at NUAVIDAS. With this, the writing points to the importance of a more attentive view at the implications experienced in childhood and to the care as the listening reference.
