O que quer uma mulher?

by Serge André

Sabe-se que Freud se formulava a pergunta nos termos: "o que quer a mulher"? Ao retomar este enunciado mediante a modificação para "o que quer UMA mulher ?", o autor pretende, antes de mais nada, examinar como os progressos mais recentes dos ensinamentos de Jacques Lacan permitem reajustar o ângulo sob o qual essa questão pode ser abordada.

[Larry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simply the best essay on Lacanian psychoanalysis I've read so far. The key idea is an explanation of the castration complex: there is only one sex in the unconscious (the phallus), which can manifest itself in one of two ways: as being there (the penis) or lacking (the vagina), and accordingly, two possible modes of enjoyment: one that is entirely subjected to the symbolic (phallic) order (masculine) and one that is not (feminine). All in all, it can be read as an illuminating commentary on Lacan's Encore (Seminar XX). A fine achievement.
