Writing as reparation is a common defense strategy and emotion processing that belongs primarily to the private experience of the subjet, when he lives delicate and crucial moments of his life: in this case we can speak of a “Ego’s private writing” , which is typical of the diary and other modest autobiographical expressions. But the drive to repair is a constant mode, which can be found also in great literary models (Rousseau, Svevo, Proust, Kafka ...). The pleasure that the act of writing seems to bear in itself is an important and recurring element, that characterizes both these levels of writing, also in situations of pain and anguish. In my speech I will speak of this pleasure and its links with the dimension of sexuality – a “polymorphous perverse” sexuality, that not by chance characterizes essential but different seasons of our lives, such as adolescence and senility.

Abstract

Writing as reparation is a common defense strategy and emotion processing that belongs primarily to the private experience of the subjet, when he lives delicate and crucial moments of his life: in this case we can speak of a “Ego’s private writing” , which is typical of the diary and other modest autobiographical expressions. But the drive to repair is a constant mode, which can be found also in great literary models (Rousseau, Svevo, Proust, Kafka ...). The pleasure that the act of writing seems to bear in itself is an important and recurring element, that characterizes both these levels of writing, also in situations of pain and anguish. In my speech I will speak of this pleasure and its links with the dimension of sexuality – a “polymorphous perverse” sexuality, that not by chance characterizes essential but different seasons of our lives, such as adolescence and senility.
