Sumario: | The psychoanalytic theories of literature are analyzed in this volume on the basis of an original historiographical idea: the hypothesis that the field of these theories is a hybrid field, that it is constituted through the dialogue between psychoanalysis and the literary theories of time in once hegemonic. A complete model of this hybridization is indicated in the theoretical work of Francesco Orlando. Together with this innovative historiographical hypothesis, we analyze the problem of Freudian writing in the light of contemporary narratology and device theory, the problem of author's intention in relation to the Freudian analysis of Michelangelo's Moses and propose an idea of literature that links psychoanalytic knowledge to the original and demonic knowledge of the ancient myth, in a close comparison between the most recent acquisitions of literary theory and contemporary psychoanalysis.
