Two problems (and their possible solutions) of the interdisciplinary transfer in literary research. The case of literature / psychoanalysis

Abstract

The following article aims to approach two common problems which arise when we conduct a transfer of interdisciplinary concepts during a literary research. Firstly, the danger that the transfer turns out in a reproduction of the concept and that literature serves only to corroborate a previous theory. To face this problem, we propose as a solution to build a metaphorical narration through a poetics of the conceptual invention. Secondly, the risk that the metaphorical use of the concept ends up in a loss of the notions meaning. In order to deal with this issue, we propose to consider the theoretical-epistemological relevance by way of a pragmatics of contextual regulation.
