BARBOSA, Kelvinn Modesto Carvalho  and  CECCARELLI, Paulo Roberto. Manifestation of indigenous sexuality in an erotic tale. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2019, n.52, pp. 95-102. ISSN 0100-3437.

This paper aims to present some considerations about the sexuality present in the work “Stew de husbands”, considering the erotic tale “The lover txopokod and the girl of the giant penguin”. The myths are part of every culture and influence the formation of the imaginary of each subject. The sexuality present in the tale is also a significant component of the constitution of the self. The tale provides elements of the indigenous sexuality of northern Brazil , the target of persecution of the so-called “civilized”. Freud establishes a relation of the origin myth with the constitution of the self. This paper reaffirms the Freudian hypothesis that there are strong indications of sexuality with the myths of the origin of each subject.

Keywords : Indians; Sexuality; Repression (Unterdrückung); Repression (Verdrängung); Culture.
