newsletter - January 2024

Hello !

In issue number seven of News da Solis , you read an interview with the writer, journalist, publicist and psychologist Lilia Gramacho, who releases Que conto nos conta - Literature inspiring clinical practice ; find out about Solisluna's releases and what the latest events were like. What's more: the Encontro do Sol com a Lua exhibition was so successful that the closing date was extended again!

A chat with Lilia Gramacho

Lilia Gramacho is a journalist, publicist, psychologist and writer. The different professions have one thing in common and reveal something about them: the love of listening and telling stories. “Journalism is a way of telling a story in search of the real version of the fact; advertising tells stories to seduce us; and psychology is also a space for narratives and narrative creation. We tell stories to know who we are. We are made of stories. What brought me to psychology was my passion for stories, for intimate narratives, fictional or of any other nature”, he states.

Lilia releases her fifth book through Solisluna, What tale tells us - Literature inspiring clinical practice , the result of research and reflections during four years of training in Analytical Psychology at the Institute of Analytical Psychology of Bahia, associated with the Jungian Association of Brazil ( AJB) and the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP). “We can learn a lot about psychology in literature, because writers are those individuals capable of capturing the soul of the collective unconscious. When we read we can look in depth, a dive that no depth psychology gives up.”

“I understand, with a certain poetic license, that every case study is, in a way, a novel. Each patient returns to the oral tradition of storytellers, recounting life, where truths and lies merge into the fabric of memory.”

RELEASES

What a tale it tells us - literature inspiring clinical practice

Biographical stories are raw material for psychotherapy. Each patient returns to the oral tradition of storytellers, recounting life, where truths and lies merge into the fabric of memory. Literature as an inspiration for clinical practice presupposes that through the lyrical and fictional elaboration of novelists, we can learn a little more to penetrate the mythopoetic psychic reality, seen here from the perspective of analytical psychology, developed by Jung and revisited by post- Jungians.

Cartography of meetings
literature, silence and mediation

"Once again, Cecilia Bajour moves us. In Cartography of Encounters she brings, with her didactic and inviting language – typical of those who experience many of the situations she describes in the book – fundamental reflections that take us out of the commonplace, call us to question the status quo, why we repeat models and strategies without thinking critically about the reason for applying them and, mainly, reflecting on conceptions of reading and readers that mobilize us to action." Dianne Melo

Published by the editorial partnership Selo Emília and Solisluna.

Fun to talk about childbirth

Fun activities on a sunny December day marked the release of the book 'Where did my brother come from?', at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Bahia (MAC), in Salvador. Adults and children also formed an attentive audience for the chat between writer Tanila Amorim and illustrator Camila Alemany, mediated by Solisluna editor Valéria Pergentino. Sensitive and affectionate, the work presents birth from the perspective of a child. In the story, Bidú experiences the expectation of becoming an older brother and, during the process, witnesses his mother giving birth to little Jébis, in the living room, amid contractions, screams, cries and laughter.
