| Abstract | |
This thesis looks into the debate established between lacanian psychoanalysis and feminist and gender studies on the difference between the sexes, as well as the developments that Lacan\'s theory of sexuation can bring to this theme. We examine the fundamental french feministss works that deal with this interface, in the case Irigaray´s, Cixouss, Montrelays, Kristevas and Wittigs. Those works, especially edifying of the feminine writing movement, have had a decisive impact on both Lacan and in contemporary gender studies. We examined the work of Robert Stoller, the introduction of the term gender in this context, and the development of his \"core gender identity\" theory, to be criticized by Lacan in the seminar XVIII, and which we have found to be determinant in establishing the lacanian notion of semblant. We verified that the lacanian strand incorporated in United States of America was the one that turned to Levi-Strauss\'s structuralism and kinship relations, as we see in the works of Rubin and Butler. We realized that the criticisms to Lacan were about his notions established through the symbolic register and its supposed apolitical and ahistorical character, which compelled proponents of psychoanalysis to react. Under the hypothesis that the lacanian sexuation could move this discussion forward, we concluded that dealing with the phallus as a function, the theory of jouissance and derivations of the aphorisms \"There is no sexual relation\" and \"The woman does not exist\", from logic field, number theory and set theory resources, finally invigorated the lacanian understanding of difference between the sexes, which escapes heteronormative prescriptions and gender binarity (AU) | |
