In Judith Butler, one of the key points of the gender issue and the way in which the feeling of melancholy participates in the process that engenders it is the issue of the subject's production and permanence from and within power relations. In contact with Foucault's theory of the subject, Butler investigates how certain types of discourse produce the subject and for what purposes. It also investigates the character of production and permanence, as well as the possibilities of resistance and action of this subject in the midst of the discursive plot that manufactures him. Such an analysis leads Judith Butler to the exploration of the psychic form that power acquires when its norms become the apparent internal truth of a subject that rather serve the political ends of naturalizing aspects which, in a more accurate analysis, prove to be fabricated. The problem of the internalization of norms will thus lead to Freudian psychoanalysis and, in this, to the issue of the inauguration of the subject whose starting point lies in the prohibition of incest which, in turn, should directly affect the production of the heterosexual binary gender. Our interest will be to investigate the way in which Freudian psychoanalysis discourse produces gendered subjects recognized by the hegemonic intelligibility matrix and how this discourse, in Butler's view, will give meaning to the phenomenon that she will call melancholic heterosexuality.
