Mourning and identification: in a doll's house of Henrik Ibsen

The starting point of our investigation are the passages in H. Ibsen "The I and the Id" in which Freud relates mourning to identification. It aims to discover some aspects of the psychological processes which lead to "the edification of the object in the I" and their consequences such as: how, in which form will the lost object survive in the I? In which way will it participate in the psychological economy? Our study takes the H. Ibsen drama, A Doll's House, as an object. The analyses lead us to articulate and question the identification following a loss regarding notions of narration, temporalness, idealization and debt.
