Abstract

COSSI, Rafael Kalaf. Luce Irigaray and Psychoanalysis: a feminist critique. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.2, pp.319-337. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais2019120209.

This paper aims to present the debate between Luce Irigaray and psychoanalysis. Initially, it contextualizes her work within the feminist field. Irigaray composes its French strand that, in the 1970s, gave prominence to language. She argues that the Freudian developments about Oedipus complex is based on patriarchy and are set up through phallogocentric resolutions, which would be ratified by the structuralist strand that underlies the Lacan's precepts of the Symbolic - in this conjuncture, the woman does not have its own representation, as she adapts to the male parameters that make her inferior. To disturb such situation, Irigaray proposes some strategies, such as the reconfiguration of the mother-daughter relation and interventions in language, which would make possible a transgressive writing type that would discursively inscribe female jouissance, which is not guided by the phallic parameters.

Keywords : Irigaray; Feminism; Psychoanalysis; Language; Jouissance.
