A relação entre o feminino e a maternidade: uma pesquisa teórico-conceitual a partir de Freud

Abstract

The present work of completion of the course aimed to understand, through a theoretical-conceptual research in the light of Freud, the relationship between the feminine and motherhood, discussing the extent to which the aforementioned author establishes this connection. To this end, we approached the representations of women in society, highlighting feminist movements in favor of women's social rights and the symbolizations related to the figure of women associated with motherhood, as the sole and constituent destiny of femininity. Subsequently, we sought in the writings of Freud and his commentators how the Oedipus Complex occurs in the girl and the boy, in order to understand the relationship that Freud wove between the constitution of female subjectivity and motherhood. Finally, considerations were made about the relationship between psychoanalysis and gender studies and their importance for the development of knowledge in psychoanalytic theory and clinic.
