A devastação materna e suas repercussões nas parcerias amorosas

Abstract

Feminine sexuality is enigmatic, which raises many reflections on femininity. The discovery that sex is not a natural phenomenon, but the result of phallic subjectivity, is an extremely significant milestone for female sexuality. According to Freud, the devastation would be related to the phallus fate in a girl. Freud notes that some women remain fixed in the original attachment to their mothers, and never achieve a real change in the relationship with men. Lacan goes beyond the phallic articulation, realizing that the phallus does not saturate the jouissance field in feminine sexuality. What is at stake is the feminine jouissance, which is not-all submitted to the phallic function. The term devastation arises as a consequence of the absence of a significant that defines The woman. It appears in three different moments in Lacanian theory: in the relationship with the mother, in the relationship with the desire of the mother and in romantic partnerships. In this work, ananalysis testimony and the analysis of a literary novel reveal some possible solutions to the devastation in the case of any person who encounters the absence of a significant that defines The woman.
