O mito familiar e o suicídio na série "Maldição da residência Hill": uma análise psicanalítica

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the psychic transmission of the family myth and suicide, based on a psychoanalytic perspective grounded in a literature review, using the series “The Haunting of Hill House” as the material for analysis. The research is characterized as qualitative, bibliographic, and narrative in approach, drawing on different authors and theories from psychoanalysis to understand the unconscious mechanisms that traverse generations and manifest as psychic suffering. The analysis of fragments from the audiovisual work allowed the observation of how suicide emerges as an expression of unconscious drives and how family suffering is silently transmitted among family members. The series symbolically and sensitively illustrates the influence of psychic legacies on subjects and highlights the importance of recognizing and elaborating these contents to break harmful cycles. The study confirmed the initial hypothesis by demonstrating how psychic transmission and the family myth intertwine with the dynamics of suicide, inviting deep reflections on subjectivity, family bonds, and intergenerational processes. Although based on interpretative analysis, the findings contribute to broadening the understanding of the phenomenon, emphasizing the relevance of clinical listening and symbolic elaboration. Thus, rather than offering ready-made answers, this work proposes new questions and paths for future investigations.
