A alma ancestral e a contemporaneidade brasileira: imaginário consciente e inconsciente na intrepretação do Brasil em Roberto Gambini
O artigo trata da análise do Roberto Gambini da sociedade brasileira contemporânea como ela foi desenvolvida durante os anos 80 e 90. Enfocado nas condições complexas e por agora não completemante transparentes do início do projeto colonizador português no Brasil, Gambini estuda a correspondência jesuita e identifica a transferência (erótica e diabólica) inter-cultural entre as psiques europeias/católicas e indígenas e, consequentemente, deduz o condicionamento psicológico dos brasileiros contemporâneos. Tanto a abordagem multidisciplinar do Gambini quanto o assunto complexo da pesquisa dele fazem esse projeto compatível com o projeto junguiano de Eranos Tagung [colóquios] cuja ambição foi passar além dos limites estreitos das ciências especiais (história, sociologia, antropologia etc.) e pensar na "borda" ou "margem" do cientifíco e do extra-científico. Uma passagem assim para o Lebenswelt husserliano parece ser confirmada pela antecipação gambiniana do "complexo cultural", conceito elaborado pelo Henderson, Adams, Singer e Kimbles.

Ancestral soul and contemporary Brazil: conscious and unconscious imagery in the interpretation of Brazil in Roberto Gambini
The paper deals with Roberto Gambini's Jungian analysis of contemporary Brazilian society as it was developed during the 1980s and 1990s. Focusing on the complex and not completely transparent conditions of the very beginning of the Portuguese colonization project in Brazil, Gambini studies early 16th-century Jesuit correspondence, identifies cross-cultural (erotic and demonic) transference between the European/Catholic and indigenous psyches and infers the psychological conditioning of today's Brazilians. Both Gambini's multidisciplinary approach and the complex issue he is dealing with make his research compatible with the Jungian project of Eranos Tagung (conferences), whose aim was to move beyond the narrow limits of specialized knowledge (history, sociology, anthropology, etc.) and thinking on the "edge" or "borderland" of the scientific and the extra-scientific. Such a shift to a Husserlian Lebenswelt seems also to be confirmed by Gambini's anticipation of the concept of "cultural complex" that was developed later (Henderson, Adams, Singer, Kimbles).
