Abstract

Este artículo analiza un rasgo común en la psicogénesis de personaje, fundamentado en el acto de tocar, en tres novelas de la autora catalana Mercè Rodoreda (1908-1983): Aloma, La plaza del Diamante y Espejo roto. Se propone un abordaje nocional a partir de los conceptos psicoanalíticos del Yo-piel de Didier Anzieu, y de la cosa de Jacques Lacan, desde los cuales se describirá cómo el tacto, el deseo y la disolución entre la psique y la realidad conforman un patrón desde la novelística temprana de la autora y trazable en las protagonistas de estas tres obras.

This article analyzes a common trait, grounded on the act of touching, in the character psychogenesis of the three novels by the Catalan author Mercè Rodoreda (1908-1983): Aloma, The Time of the Doves, and A Broken Mirror. This is approached from two psychoanalytic concepts: the skin-ego, by Didier Anzieu, and the thing, by Jacques Lacan. Through these, touch, desire, and the dissolution of psyche and reality will be described as a pattern that appears since the early production of the author and that can be traced in the main characters of these three novels.
