JUNQUEIRA, Maria Helena Rego. The political dimension of motherhood. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp. 93-98. ISSN 0486-641X.
The article is a reflection about the peculiar spot of the mother within the oedipal triangle, within the triumvirate father-mother-son. Fragments of Greek mythology are used to investigate the mythical ways of the relationship with the mother and the approximation with the oedipal complex. It seeks to capture the unfolding of the oedipal situation into the subjective process. The fathers place is seen as the difference, which discriminates mother-child, instituting the symbolic order. There is an interplay of roles within the original relationship that allows the consideration of the political dimension of motherhood.
