COSTA, Victor de Jesus Santos  and  PAULON, Clarice Pimentel. Black women: worthless dreams and desires. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2023, vol.45, n.76, pp.107-117.  Epub Aug 16, 2024. ISSN 0101-3106.  https://doi.org/10.5935/0101-3106.v45n76.11.

The authors’ proposal in this clinical essay is to bring together the role of the analyst and the slave woman’s place in western modernity. To do so, we rely on the character of Euricleia, from Odyssey, who, by recognizing Odysseus, enables the consolidation of his desire, producing resignification and historical reaccommodation of the hero, a fundamental process that consolidates in an analysis. In Brazil, this place is assumed by the black woman, the Brazilian representation of the role of analyst due to her position mixing with eroticism and the invisibility of her erased work in the culture that returns, however, as a symptom (Gonzalez, 1984). By assuming such an approach that produces a recognition of fundamental importance of the subjective constitution in Brazil and in the West, the authors believe that a clinical listening, attentive to this historical and symbolic background, can be resignified and produce social and subjective transformations.

Keywords : black woman; transfer; dreams not-dreamed; object-a.
