Resumo: | This dissertation work entitled “MEDEAS OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY: AN ANALYSIS OF MEDEIA IN THE WORK OF EURIPIDES FROM CONTEMPORARY WOMEN” aims to reflect on the unfolding of the feminine, in the woman, through motherhood. To think about “becoming a woman” as Simone de Beauvoir puts it is also to think about how each woman assumes her femininity throughout history. Motherhood posed as an issue inherent in this process of being a woman can provoke the most different sensations and feelings, being almost impossible to escape this imperative. Through psychoanalysis, specifically with Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, a study of these theories was carried out, with regard to the subjectivity of the subjects and their sexuality, going through the theme of the feminine and the woman. In Freud, the woman would have a crossing of the Oedipus Complex different from the boy and, through the promise of having a child, she would get from the Oedipus, but she would have this precondition of the son to cope with being a woman and although this author could not advance much at this point in the theory, it left a very important basis for the next psychoanalysts. In saying that "the woman does not exist" Lacan thought of the woman as one by one, which would not be part of universalization, with a jouissance not fully submitted to the phallus, thus being an unlimited jouissance. The not-all woman in Lacan will use other means to deal with her issues. Lacan goes a step further when studying women and their subjectivities. In Medea, a Greek tragedy written by Euripides, chosen as a literary analysis of this work, this woman presents herself in her devastation, a concept elaborated by Lacan, to speak of this empty place that comes to a woman in the loss of an object that veiled that place. By losing Jason's love, as revenge, Medea kills her children and this act allows her to escape her devastation. As "the true woman", as Lacan said, Medea speaks of her motherhood and her being a woman, experiencing in her entirety, beyond devastation. Today, women present their discourses about this process in the clinic as well as in the literature, talking about this duality that is being a woman and mother and the conflicts that it brings. As a conclusion, the idea that the clinic could be placed as a place to glimpse possibilities for the woman, who lives the dilemmas of this duality, investing in her uniqueness, to become a woman and mother, is thought. |
