O romance A náusea e a desconstrução do sujeito em Sartre

Abstract

This thesis investigates the place and function occupied by the novel Nausea in the philosophical context of the 1930s in Sartrean thought. To this end, we initially address the specificities of the relationship between philosophy and literature in Sartre, as well as his notion of “creative unity”. Then, when we analyze the subjectivity of philosophical construction and the existential phenomenology project, we note that when Sartre criticizes Husserl's conception of the ego, the motivations and justification of Epoché, he realizes that this suspension is not an intellectual method, but an anguish, this leads us to elucidate an internal need of Sartre's philosophy in relation to literature, which is to understand human reality in its ambiguity and contingency, since they are not reducible to philosophical conceptual expression. Finally, by examining the novel Nausea considering the philosophical background and literary problems belonging to the Sartrian phenomenological-existential construction, we explain that the novel function is the literary idealism deconstruction in face of the bourgeois spirit, as well as the subject idea, and that the place occupied by the novel in Sartrian creative unit is a double of Sketch for a Theory of Emotions.
