THE EMOTIONAL TOPOS IN MAX BLECHER'S PROSE
THE EMOTIONAL TOPOS IN MAX BLECHER'S PROSE

Summary/Abstract: The present work aims at capturing the image of the utopian fiction universe of Max Blecher's prose, which is placed at the boundary between the reality and unreality. From the perspective of Jung’s abysmal psychology, the descriptive sequence from the novel The lit burrow will be analysed, namely the one of the dream garden, as a projection of the inner parts of the hypersensitive human being who regains the primordial balance through reflexive capacity. The mythology of the paradisiac space paints an archetypal mundus, a symbolic representation of the Self, in the sense of Jung's psychoanalysis, which is possible only through the oneiric experience of the vigil Ego which lowers in the abyss of the collective unconscious. Therefore, Blecher's space proves to be an emotional topos which draws the Ego-Self axis, defining the individualization process of personality through the act of writing.
