FERRARI, Rachele da Silva    RIBEIRO, Marina Ferreira da Rosa. To be a mother, to be a father: the challenges in the contemporary world. Cad. psicanal. []. 2020, 42, 42, pp.225-242. ISSN 1413-6295.

It is observed that in the cultural context of today, with the breaking of rigid, static values and the openness to the multiple possibilities of subjectivation, of modes of existence, becoming a mother and father must be created, invented with each new experience. This article proposes to discuss these issues from a psychoanalytic perspective - especially Winnicott's concept of Primary Maternal Concern - as well as the contributions of Gilles Lipovetsky and Joel Birman, theorists who study the contemporary world.
