The Narcissism Expression in Publications from 1914 to 2014

Abstract: The narcissism expression has been often used, both by common sense, as by different fields of knowledge, which demonstrates its polysemic characteristics. Thus, it is extremely important to rescue its conceptions expressed at different historical moments, for the carrying out of counterpoints about its uses and current conceptions. This research aimed to study the “narcissism approach” at different historical moments, in its respective epistemological fields. This is a study of “bibliographic review” on the subject and that is part of the research results of a doctoral project in psychology. The survey results showed that, firstly, the “narcissism theme” would be addressed by psychiatry and psychoanalysis; secondly, by the social sciences; and thirdly, in correlation with elements relating to cyberspace. The study of the different historical moments in which appear the approaches of narcissism has importance for a better analysis and understanding of its appropriations in the contemporary. In this sense, the study of their emergence and provenance, as well as its etymology is fundamental for its non-conceptual overestimation.
Key words: narcissism, psychology, cyberspace
