Abstract

MARTINS, Flávia Ripoli. "You-will-be-straight-or-you-will-not-be": the lesbianity in the Minutes of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. J. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.100, pp. 129-144. ISSN 0103-5835.

The present work aims to research the speeches of the first psychoanalysts on lesbianity, through a theoretical and documentary research of the Minutes of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. Investigating the question of the lesbian desire, the article intends to contribute with the acknowledgment of the limits and potentialities of the psychoanalytic sexual theories. To this end, the two main hypotheses about the lesbian desire developed at the meetings of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society were examined and the origin of the associations between lesbianity and masculinity in the psychoanalytic point of view was discussed, pointing out some questions that lesbianity can formulate about the relations between psychoanalysis and patriarchy.

Keywords : history of psychoanalysis; lesbianity; Minutes of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Society; female sexuality.
