Abstract

NAVES, Emilse Terezinha. The femininity: from another to Another. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.2, pp. 389-404. ISSN 0101-4838.

Freudian path on femininity is marked by several deadlocks and ambiguities and concludes about its enigmatic character. In this article, we discuss the representation of the enigma of femininity taking into consideration that the assumption to it means to con front and accept the non-representable. Therefore, we approach the relationships between femininity and hysteria, as well as its connections with the death drive, using fragments of literary texts that help us think about this issue.

Keywords : femininity; hysteria; death drive; enjoyment.
