Building Intersections

Bible, Literature, and Psychoanalysis

Abstract

This study investigates the intersections between the Bible, literature, and psychoanalysis, analyzing how biblical texts influence literary production and how psychoanalysis can deepen this understanding. The research seeks to identify symbolic and psychological elements in biblical narratives and their relevance in the construction of literary and psychoanalytic themes. To this end, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach based on the theories of Freud and Jung, exploring concepts such as the unconscious, archetypes, and identity. The methodology includes a bibliographic review, textual analysis, and case studies of literary works influenced by the Bible. The specific objectives involve the analysis of psychoanalytic concepts in biblical texts, the investigation of their influence on literature, the critical evaluation of the appropriation of biblical themes to discuss psychoanalytic issues, and the interpretation of these connections in contemporary literature. It is expected that this study will contribute to a deeper and broader understanding of the mutual influences between these areas, promoting an academic dialogue on values, beliefs, and symbolic structures in culture and human subjectivity. The results also aim to fill a gap in interdisciplinary research and provide new theoretical and methodological perspectives for future academic investigations.
