FINGERMANN, Dominique Touchon. Meeting with the feminine: Hilda Hilst and others. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp. 85-92. ISSN 0486-641X.

If the starting point of psychoanalysis was the feminine - listening to women and their bodily conversion of something damned and not said of sex (hysteria), Freud ends his oeuvre leaving open the question of the feminine as the “dark continent”. Alternatively the Freudian “phalocentrism” so criticized by the feminists doesn’t allow to discern the feminine in itself, because if woman is desiring and castrated (as the man), including maternity, she continues to be refered to the masculine - and to the phalo (also in seduction - masked). Anyhow in psychoanalytical experience, in everyday and also in literature occasionally, we get notice of something radically “heteros” in this sexuality, something unbecoming, disobedient to this phallic law, “a suplementary ‘jouissance’ ” - as Lacan would say.

Keywords : Feminine; Heterosexuality; Phallic “jouissance”; Alterity; Phallus; Excessive.
