Abstract

TEODORO, Elizabeth Fátima  and  CHAVES, Wilson Camilo. "Enemy" of civilized sexual morality and good customs: reflections on a strange portrait of a woman. Reverso [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.82, pp. 27-34. ISSN 0102-7395.

What is the relationship between women and civilization? From this question, the objective is to investigate the role of women in modern society. Freudian texts and Assouns proposi-tion about the woman who, under the clothes of hysteria, assume the position of symptom and destiny of civilization, are used as a basis. Taking hysteria as an effect of the conflict between female sexuality and the impositions of sexual morality, the hysteric would be that woman who expresses in her own body the fundamental malaise of the civilizing process. Thus, it would point to issues that circulate as a representation of a collective in the con-temporary.

Keywords : Hysteria; Civilized sexual morality; Woman; Female sexuality.
