Abstract

RIBEIRO, Sarug Dagir. Some questions about adoption in the life and work of Marie Bonaparte. Estilos clin. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.2, pp. 210-219. ISSN 1415-7128.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v25i2p210-219.

Our objective is to demonstrate how the framework of the concept of dead mother in Bonapartean work serves as a theoretical foundation for thinking about the clinic of adoption. This inference is only possible because, a posteriori, the author recognizes in the dying Mimau, her nanny, an adoptive mother. This work analyzes the way in which the intellectual enigma of dying (orphanhood) is deciphered and the secret of the (sexual) message of the other (maternal substitute) is discovered. In summary, our results indicate that the author makes love and death equate between the mechanisms of the unconscious in the adoption clinic, because the "dead mother" is what one thinks, and, on the part of the adoptive mother, is what is leaves to be desired via enigma of the sexual.
