Trzy paradygmaty psychoanalitycznej interpretacji dzieła literackiego

The paper deals with two method models inspired by the classical Freudian psychoanalysis and the new model developed on the basis of American neopsychoanalytical thought of Erich Fromm. The fi rst model of interpretation looks at literature as a transformation of unconscious desire into the esthetic shape of literary work, the second model seeks in it a crystallization of unconscious structures of mind, whereas the third one – introduced in the paper – approaches literature against the background of the social unconsciousness as an expression of the Idol which was precisely defi ned by Fromm in 1990.
