Abstract
GAZIRE, Patrícia Cabianca. Violence of femininity and destinations of womanliness in a female borderline patient. J. psicanal. [online]. 2009, vol.42, n.77, pp.143-155. ISSN 0103-5835.
This paper intends to recuperate the debate on femininity, in the light of experiences with femininity lived (experienced) by a borderline patient during a psychoanalytical process. In the case of this patient, the hybridism presented by the borderline structure helps the theoretical articulations between neurosis, psychosis, the feminine, and the archaic. Special attention will be given to the archaic dimension of femininity as it is updated in transference, more than to the structural psychopathological dimension.
