CAMPISTA, Valesca Rosário  e  CALDAS, Heloísa Fernandes. Feminine: enigma and semblance. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.65, n.2, pp. 258-273. ISSN 1809-5267.

This paper approaches the feminine from Freud's question about the woman's enigma expressed in the famous phrase "The woman is the black continent of psychoanalysis". Lacan addressed the feminine issue from the Freudian conception up to the retake of the Freudian phallic order in two moments of his teaching. In the 50s, when he unfolded having/not having the phallus into being/not being the phallus; in the 70s, when he proposed a logic other than the phallic order. By coining the phrase "the woman does not exist", he shows that there is no significant to name the feminine. That significant emerges by means of a semblance and responds by means of a jouissance modality different from the phallic logic. This paper brings two literary feminine representations - Medeia and Madeleine Rondeaux - to treat the articulation between jouissance and semblance, since they broke up with the phallic order and unveiled the horror face of feminine overflowing jouissance.
