BONFIM, Flavia Gaze  e  VIDAL, Paulo Eduardo Viana. Judith Butler's Matches and Mismatches with Psychoanalysis. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp. 1200-1219. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.62735.

The purpose of this paper is to present some considerations about the philosopher Judith Butler's thinking, her criticisms of Lacan's theory, as well as some counterpoints to her critical arguments, aiming to demarcate Butler's possible matches and mismatches with psychoanalysis. Within this course, we identified that the author's criticism is restricted to the first lacanian teaching, disregarding the advances of the sexuation formulas and the notion of sinthome, as a singular arrangement of the falasser with the jouissance. Besides that, we verified that her question about psychoanalysis didn't exclude that, to think about gender, Butler would use the conceptual apparatus of Freudian and Lacanian metapsychology, especially the notion of drive. We concluded that Butler's criticism of psychoanalysis does not need to be taken as a problem or an obstacle, since it promotes a fruitful requirement for theoretical and clinical precision that is emerging nowadays to advance in the debate on the new orders of sexuality.
