Psychoanalysis and Aesthetics Reception: disagreements and crosslinkings. This paper aims to discuss certain intersections and discrepancies between the theories of aesthetic reception, as we can see in Jauss and Iser writings, and Freudian psychoanalysis.

Thus, this work intends to describe some of this relationship features.
