Abstract

LIMA, Nádia Laguárdia de et al. THE ELIMINATION OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEXES: A PSYCHOANALYTIC READING. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.2, pp.447-468. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2016V22N2P447.

This article is the partial result of research aimed at investigating the notions of femininity constructed by teenagers. It starts from the hypothesis that the growth of groups of teenagers who call themselves bisexual in the social networks of the internet is a result of the current ideology elimination of the differences between the sexes. Using the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis, we consider the ideology of sexual equality with effect on the capitalist discourse that aims to conceal castration. The decline of the differences between the sexes puts the teenager in greater difficulty to situate themselves as male or female in the field of identifications. In addition to the various masks of identification seeking to define the genders, psychoanalysis supports the existence of an irreducible difference between the sexes, which points to the impossibility of sexual intercourse.

Keywords : Adolescence; Contemporaneity; Sexuality.
