• W3215060665 abstract "The present work aims to locate some essential coordinates when trying to answer the following question: “is psychoanalysis male chauvinist?”. It follows a major investigation, product of a research grant, specifically “On female sexuality: Contributions from Juliet Mitchell’s and Luce Irigaray’s feminist psychoanalysis”: The question in the title arises as a trigger to give birth to possible answers from the contributions of these authors.Juliet Mitchell, in her work Psychoanalysis and Feminism (1976), is the first to point out that psychoanalysis is crucial to the feminism project. There she argues: “(...) psychoanalysis does not constitute a recommendation for a patriarchal society, but an analysis of it. If we are interested in understanding and rejecting women's oppression, we cannot afford to underestimate it” (9). According to Mitchell, Sigmund Freud in his theory does not prescribe a normative idea of ​​what it is to be a but rather explains what it means to be a in our culture, what psychological moves it requires.On the other hand, Luce Irigaray, in her work Speculum of the other woman (1978), makes a hard criticism on Freud. There the author argues that Freud's problem was to resort to an economy of representation made from values that were ​​determined by male subjects without criticizing it. In this context, the feminine has to be described, according to Irigaray “based on the needs of (re)production of a coin stained with phallic meaning”, thus making of the the “other” of the man. It would thus be subject to a logic of phallic representation where the properly feminine would be censored, reappearing only under the prescribed form of having/not having, phallic/ castrated, and more / less, representable / black continent.Having said that, trying possible answers to the initial question, a new question arises: although fertile and triggering, does that question help us? It is important, undoubtedly, but when it comes to seeing where it takes us, the danger of an essentialist response appears, as if removing a veil from psychoanalysis is involved, to see what the truth behind it is: macho or feminist? Or, perhaps, a frustrated feminist theory, as Gayle Rubin (1986) puts it? Any response has crystallization effects that are undesirable.On the other hand, beyond the answer we try when faced with the initial question, as Mitchell points out, feminism or gender studies should not underestimate psychoanalysis since it is the only theory that can help us understand how patriarchy works, which is necessary if we want to overcome it.Mitchell argues that many times feminist criticism is not directed towards Freud's discoveries but rather is a moral criticism of his statements. A classic example is criticism aimed at the concept of penis envy. And, if we think about it beyond what would be desirable or politically correct, is it not plausible to think that in this patriarchal world a large part of women have wished in Freud's time, or even today, to be men? Therefore, the problem is not in Freudian discovery but in its performativity, that is, when the theory goes from describing the psychic life of women to reinforcing a place of inferiority assigned to them.Now, as Rubin (1986) points out, along the same lines as Mitchell, psychoanalytic theory as a description of the subordination process imposed on women by phallic culture has no equal. Then, beyond the misrepresentations and harmful effects that may have arisen from some theorizations, there is much in it to save.From the theorizing of psychoanalytic female sexuality we can extract very important questions to work, such as: how to reconcile with our femininity, how to be straight women without going through hate towards our mothers?, how to feel full women without the need of having a child?, how to properly settle between our roles as a mother and as sexual partner?, how to adopt an active role in our lives without masculinizing ourselves?These are not simple questions, they require us to think as analysts but also as women. If we dodge them, we will only have delayed an inevitable toll. Mitchell had already pointed it out: “to think that this should not be so does not require pretending that it no longer is. On the contrary, once again we need the pessimism of the intellect and the optimism of the will” (1976: 369). We want to leave our oppression as women behind, and that is the big difference of nowadays with previous times, but before that happens we need an important work of elaboration on these feminine problems." @default.
