Sobre o Feminino: Uma Investigação Psicanalítica Com Vislumbres Mítico-Clínico e a Partir da Literatura de Hilda Hilst

Abstract

This investigation begun with a discomfort with contemporary women situation when they come to a clinic, in particular from listening these women at the light of some theories that basically reduce them to two conditions: passivity or hysteria. During the research, however, done by the interpretative method, another urgent question comes to light, going beyond the woman. The core question then becomes the female, which, from the beginning, consists in the imaginary, enveloped in a spectrum of terror and fascination, more easily captured by arts than by science. The author used the literature of Hilda Hilst, the myth of Eco and Narcissus, and a clinic case to study the question. Listening and the analysis of these three elements conducted the investigation and allowed some discoveries/inventions in relation to the female, which are revealed in the entanglement with a process of constitution of the individual in its founding trace of helplessness. Pervaded by a subversive character, which suspends standards be they of genus or not the female points to a possibility of creation of itself in the middle of impossibilities and voids.
