PIMENTEL, Leonardo Fernandes. SEXUAL VALUES: A LOGICAL READING OF THE LACANIAN THEORY OF SEXUATION. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.1, pp.177-191.  Epub 26-Ago-2024. ISSN 0103-5665.  https://doi.org/10.33208/pc1980-5438v0035n01a08.

Freud’s work is filled with questions about the definitions of what it is to “be a man” and what it is to “be a woman”, differentiating the identifying aspects, the possibilities of sexual orientation and the morphological character of the body itself, in addition to elaborating on the unconscious roots of the different forms of sexual expression and experience. Freud’s study, however, finds its final obstacle in the rock of castration, backed by his concept of the phallus, albeit an ambiguous one. It was then in the 1970s that Jacques Lacan would propose what he considered to be the only possible definitions for these enigmatic and controversial terms. According to the author, “man” and “woman” are not mere biological entities, nor are they limited to pure identifications given by the social body; but they must, above all, be understood as “sexuated positions”, which are nothing more than positions in relation to discourse and what organizes it, the phallus in a new conception. Far from any ontological or morphological approach, the Lacanian theory of sexuation defines them through mathematical letters, going back to logical writing and the theory of truth values.
