Abstract

DOUVILLE, Olivier. Gender Relations and Modernity. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.1, pp.175-184. ISSN 0103-5665.  https://doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0032n01A08.

The current craft of psychoanalysis consists in exploring the subjective implications related to the unveiling of desire and the uncertainties of identity arising from the unraveling of bans and norms established by patriarchal law. The way a subject creates solutions for sexual identity, combined with psychic bisexuality and the distinction of the sexes, is currently driven by moving social ideals linked to relations of identity and power. Currently, the psychoanalytic clinic needs to revise and reform its normative stances tied to the idealization of patriarchies. We do not intend to support the prevailing representations, but instead to pick them apart. No subject is fully realized as man or woman, or as "trans" or "queer". It is on account of its conflicting nature that sexuality nests at the heart of psychic life.

Keywords : capitalism; gender; unconscious enjoyment; patriarchy.
