En el presente trabajo se intenta elaborar una serie de conjeturas psicopatológicas acerca del escritor Cesare Pavese. Se interrogará su suicido a la luz de la lectura de su Diario donde este acto ocupa un lugar central: allí lo anticipa, lo piensa como destino, fantasea con él, evaluándolo moralmente incluso como respuesta ante el tedio. Se intenta arribar a una hipótesis diagnóstica a partir del recorte de algunos fragmentos del diario y escenas significativas de su vida. Palabras clave Psicopatología - Psicoanálisis - Neurosis obsesiva - Melancolía - Suicidio ABSTRACT THE SUICIDES OF CESARE PAVESE In this present paper we will try to put forth a series of psychopathological conjectures about the writer Cesare Pavese. We will examine his suicide in the light of his Diaries, where this act takes center stage: it is there that he envisions it, thinks of it as destiny, and fantasizes about it - even to the point of morally assessing it as an answer to tedium. We will try to reach a diagnostic hypothesis through the selection of various passages from his diaries, and some of his life’s most significant scenes.
