Abstract

CAVALCANTE, Lina  and  OLIVEIRA, Débora Passos de. The impasses of the feminine and possible intertwining with maternity. Estilos clin. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.3, pp.503-522. ISSN 1415-7128.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v23i3p503-522.

Even face the cultural changes and achievement of rights for women, the common sense dictates that a woman is only complete when she becomes a mother. From such premise, this research addresses the impasses between motherhood and femininity, based on the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Lacan, and works with the possibility the motherhood represents a phallic position. Thus, it would not be able to deal with femininity. What are the meetings and disagreements in such relation between being a mother and being a woman? Besides psychoanalysis, we mention the poetry of Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, known for its female lyrical selves.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; femininity; motherhood.
