LAMANNO-ADAMO, Vera L. C.. A poetics of the feminine: reflections on a certain dangerous hour. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.4, pp. 257-266. ISSN 0486-641X.

Interweaving fragments of a clinical experience with the narrative of a day in the life of Ana, a character in a short story written by Clarice Lispector, the author considers the feminine not an adjective or a quality, but rather a mental state, something that is not definitive, not acquired and altogether lost; it is a fleeting mental state that embodies what constitutes the human being, that is to say, the enigma of creation, life and death, the unsayable, the mysterious, the lack; the feminine as a metaphor for the subject in psychoanalysis, which is permanently constituted in the support and repudiation of what frightens, fascinates, causes horror and dread.

Palabras clave : feminine; mental state; poetry; epiphany; Clarice Lispector.
