title: [The phenomenon of deja vu in psychopathology and literature].
abstract: In this paper we attempted to review the concept of déjà vu. Déjà vu is a common experience in life and it is largely described in psychopathology and in artistic literature. Starting descriptions of writers like Camus, D'Annunzio, Simeon, Bunuel, Schnitzler, Dickens we propose a first phenomenological way of reading of déjà vu experience referring to the different hypotheses in psychopathology: a memory disorder, perception disorder, attentional disorder, considering the phenomenon as a consciousness disorder according to Ey's theories. Secondly we attempted to compare the consciousness disorder hypothesis to a psychoanalytic reading according Freud and Matte Blanco studies.
