OLIVEIRA, Paula Affonso de  and  NICOLAU, Roseane Freitas. Feminism in Question: Contemporary Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Feminism. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.spe2, pp.1-12. ISSN 2359-0769.  https://doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20iesp2.e8974.

The article aims to present the theoretical discussions between psychoanalysis and the feminist movement, especially concerning Freudian and Lacanian concepts about the female position and its symbolic originators, such as the primacy of the phallus - often associated by the feminist criticism to the penis, theoretical phallocentrism, and its consequences. At the center of this debate, the feminine imposes itself with a questioning of psychoanalysis: breaking the limits of a phallic logic, would this be a way to think about otherness? In times of conservative uprisings, to rescue this discussion is to propose an opening space to think about the difference.

Keywords : female; feminist movement; psychoanalysis.
