This work discusses the relationship that exists between Brazilian literature aesthetics, here understood as the one produced from the end of the 1950s to the current days and the psychoanalytic perspective of the fall of the Lacanian name of the father. This theoretical point of view sees significant changes in the behaviors and artistic creation of the one individual that s called contemporary and has emerged after the end of World War I, all changes went through the establishment of a psychic economy founded in the imperative of rejoicing, to the detriment of that founded on repression. From this thought on, it is discussed here what is present or not of this new psychic economy in literary productions understood as contemporary in Brazil, taking into account the huge variety of present aesthetics in this period, and how each of these characteristics behave in each production that is observed. If it s right to think that the contemporary individual, as the ones from other times, has its specificities, it is also to take it into account that such traces come from social and psychoanalytic places, as well as they interfere in their artistic productions and, therefore, literaries. It s under the observation of how it has occurred in contemporary Brazilian literature that this text focuses on.
