[Literary creation and political involvement].
We approach four french fascist writers of the period between the two world wars: Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Robert Brasillach, Lucein Rebatet and Pierre Drieu La Rochelle. We examine the psychodynamic links between the literary creation and their political involvement. We can agree with those authors who state that the sublimation, common to all human beings, is post-oedipal. But we can add that there is no competition, from the economical viewpoint, between the post-oedipal sublimation, type political involvement, and the preoedipal sublimation, type literary creation. We arrive also to the conclusion that, in contradiction with what we have seen in the literature overview, it seems that narcissistic personality disorders have no negative effect on literary creation.
