JARDIM, Raoni Machado Moraes  e  SOUZA, Herivelto Pereira de. Lélia Gonzalez: A Bridge Between the Decolonization and the Countercolonization of Brazilian Psychoanalysis. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.spe, pp.1233-1254.  Epub 20-Maio-2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2023.80084.

We intend, in the present paper, to explore how Lelia Gonzalez’s oeuvre can be thought in terms of the problem of an epistemological crossroads for the psychoanalytical field: that of assuming itself in a decolonial movement, decentered and destituent regarding the heritage of the colonial context into which it came to be - and in which it is still transmitted -, and, taking over from there, a psychoanalysis that goes in yet another direction, that of elaborating its own theoretical notions, as well as to establish strategies of transmission coherent with the social-historical reality in which it acts. We argue that categories such as blacktuguese [pretuguês], amefricanity and the rethinking of maternal function under the light of a reconsideration of the extensive historical-cultural role of the black mother are all theoretical expedients with relevance and incidence in clinical practice, which can also be seen as the conceptual expression of both a stalemate and a countercolonial creative potentiality. An epistemological lurch such as that is considered here crucially important for Brazilian psychoanalysts, so that they can be up to par - listening and taking part in - the historical demands of their own times.
