Abstract

TESONE, Juan Eduardo. Divine jouissance: feminine narcissism and mystics. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp.139-143. ISSN 0486-641X.

The discours of mystics point to a huge paradox. Mystics pay the price of being dispossessed of the Self. They live only through the emanation of the object, and are illuminated by its blaze...which (scarcely) veils the bodily pleasure of their ecstasy. Mysthics thus experience jouissance... without sin and without reproach, sheltered from view in the confiness of the monastery. Might we not perhaps consider that the discours of mystics in fact points to the supplementary jouissance of woman, veiled by religious legitimacy and otherwise inexpressible, at the risk of succumbing to the same fate as Tiresias ?.
