Abstract

In this essay, the author analyses the concepts of intentionality and affect according to Husserl's phenomenology. She supports these two concepts, which are both ontological and psychological, with a thesis of subjectivity that also finds its roots in the work of Georges Lantéri-Laura. Dreams, as a phenomenon belonging to the sphere of nocturnal experience and to the sphere of narrative intentionality, represent for the author a cornerstone of a theory of subjectivity that integrates both the thesis of intentionality and of the unconscious. The author articulates her study of dreams through clinical and literary examples that enable one to grasp the spatio-temporal structures of the intentional conscience as well as the affective movements between the nocturnal world and narration of the following day.
