Abstract

MENDES, Eliana Rodrigues Pereira  and  RODRIGUES, Marisa Lima. To love, intransitive verb, idyll: the sexual initiation of a young man and fräulein's desire. Reverso [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.79, pp. 59-66. ISSN 0102-7395.

Psychoanalytic reading of the novel by Mário de Andrade To love, intransitive verb, idyll, deals with the sexual initiation of Carlos, a young man of the 1920s, made by the German tutor Fräulein. Sexuality is seen as a discursive production that involves the subject and culture. Sexual initiation occurs according to the social group and historical time and is always a reissue of the Oedipus complex. In the romance, when they fall in love, the couple subverts the expected order, which makes paternal interdiction explicit.

Keywords : Sexual initiation; Adolescence; Masculinity; Femininity.
