PENSAMENTOS DE QUINTAL

Abstract

The text seeks to present dream and myth relationship exploring savage mind ethnological concept. Dream theory and the Freudian concept of the Unconscious admit an expanded notion of thought whilst some conceptions of thought in philosophy converged in the structuralist conundrum. Aspects of the interpretation of Lévi-Strauss' work, undertaken by Paul Ricoeur, in the Esprit journal debate, are exposed, aiming especially at La Pensée Sauvage which had been published with impact. It is equally interesting to examine the question of the subject following considerations on a theory of meaning, consciousness, and history. Lévi-Strauss' rejoinder will be addressed in this context. The advent of the revolutionary tetralogy about Amerindian myths, gestated in a debate that avoided establishing an opposition between ethnology and hermeneutics, coexists with a twilight of the canonical works on dream and myth. Mythologiques, a work still little explored, contributes to the ethnology of Amerindian myths and dreams, as well as to a renewed conception of psychoanalytic clinics. A revival of dreams can be propitiated by Amerindian thought and its experiments with dreams. The Anthropocene seems to motivate such move, which demands renewed ways of living.
