Este trabalho tem como base os aportes da teoria psicanalítica, em especial daquilo que Lacan desenvolveu acerca do feminino e da escrita. Ao usar esse referencial, buscou-se fazer um rastreamento teórico dos dois conceitos, com o objetivo de articulá-los. Em Psicanálise, desde Freud, a escrita foi pensada como uma metáfora das inscrições psíquicas, portanto, do substrato do inconsciente. O feminino recebeu também um tratamento diferenciado do senso comum, pois, embora anatomia e gênero sejam aspectos que não se podem negligenciar, os últimos aportes a respeito do feminino, para a Psicanálise de orientação lacaniana, fazem referência a uma posição em que o sujeito está não-todo regulado pelo padrão fálico. Além disso, essa posição comporta um gozo que foge da possibilidade de apreensão pelo aparato simbólico humano. Ora, se o feminino aponta para um excedente, essa mesma perspectiva é encontrada na concepção de escrita e, em especial, de letra, quando Lacan começou a articulála com o gozo. A partir desse enquadre, foi proposto o argumento de que o feminino habita o lugar de gozo da escrita/letra. Como é possível observar, fez-se uma torção no uso dos dois significantes, de maneira que, ao invés de uma escrita feminina, sugeriu-se pensar no feminino na escrita. Deixando de ser adjetivo, o feminino passou a ser tratado não como a qualidade de alguns escritos, mas como substância da escrita, que seria, eventualmente, reconhecida em certos escritos literários construídos nesse território-litoral, no qual gozo e significante se margeiam. Assim, saindo da perspectiva da escrita psíquica, foram trabalhados alguns textos literários, nos quais, foi possível observar ressonâncias da posição feminina. Por fim, discutiu-se como tal posição poderia comparecer na educação de maneira geral e na escrita trabalhada na escola, de maneira específica. Observa-se que o professor tem maiores e melhores condições de criar alternativas para lidar com o \"gozo excessivo\" que permeia o campo educativo quando a posição feminina, na sua vertente de não-todo e de pluralidade, pode ser sustentada. / This work is based on the contribution of the psychoanalytic theory, especially the one developed by Lacan on the feminine and writing. By using this reference, an attempt was made to theoretically track those two concepts, intending to articulate them. In Psychoanalysis, since Freud, the writing was thought as a metaphor of the psychic registrations, so, from the unconscious substrate. The feminine received as well a differentiated treatment of the common sense, because, despite anatomy and gender are aspects that can\'t be neglected, the latest contributions on the feminine, for the Lacanian oriented Psychoanalysis, make reference to a position where the person is not-all regulated by the phallic patterns. Besides, this position comprises an enjoyment that escapes from the possibility of seizure by the human symbolic apparatus. Nevertheless, if the feminine indicates a surplus, this same perspective is found in the conception of writing and, in special, of the letter, when Lacan started to articulate it with the enjoyment. From this point of view moment, it is proposed that the feminine inhabits the place of enjoyment of the writing/letter. As it\'s possible to observe, a twist was made in the use of both significants, so that, instead of a feminine writing, it was suggested to think about the feminine in the writing. No longer used as an adjective, the feminine started to be treated not as a quality in some writings, but as a substance of writing, which would be, eventually, recognized in some literary writings made in this territory-coast, where enjoyment and significant are side by side. So, leaving the perspective of the psychic writing, some literary texts were studied where it was possible to observe resonance of the feminine position. At last, it was discussed how such position could attend in education in a general way and in writing as worked at school, in a specific way. It is noticed that the teacher has more and better conditions to create alternatives to deal with the \"excess of enjoyment\" that permeates the educative field when the feminine position, in it\'s not fullness and plurality can be sustained.

Pensar as mulheres como tributárias de uma falta não mais pensada determinada anatomicamente, mas culturalmente construída, permite que se possa refletir sobre a construção de uma feminilidade a partir das vertentes da arte e da revolução. É proposta uma reflexão acerca das mudanças proporcionadas pela contemporaneidade as quais influenciam a construção da identidade feminina. Para isto, exemplificam-se as implicações do contemporâneo no laço social a partir do discurso de mulheres participantes de um grupo terapêutico. Busca-se, sobretudo, compreender o construto referente à feminilidade a partir das teorizações de Freud e Lacan, para, em seguida, articulá-lo ao que é veiculado no discurso feminino contemporâneo. / This study aims to discuss how the lacanian masquerade concept is structured from Joan Riviere’s work entitled “Femininity as masquerade”, of 1929. To think women as contributaries of an absence considered not anatomically determined anymore, but culturally constructed, allows it to be reflected about the building of a femininity from the slopes of art and revolution. We purpose a reflection concerning the changes caused by contemporaneity which have influenced the buildings of the feminine identity. In order to do so, exemplifications of the implications of the contemporary in the social bonds were made, taken from the speeches of women who were part of a therapeutical group. Aiming for, in this study above all things, to comprehend the concept that refers to the femininity, from theorizations made by Freud and Lacan in order to connect it to what is vehicled in the contemporary feminine speech.

The title was born from a set of clinical care attendances - made by a NGO that cares for GLSBT people – where one of the patients speaks uninterruptedly about his mother. In these moments, the patient mentions a will to transvest that would not exist if it wasn’t for the influence of the mother; he constantly denies the analyst’s speech about it and any other who approaches the established dynamics between his mother and him – seen as perfect, although she was awfully sick. The risen hypothesis is that excessive denial, as well as the emphasis on the mother figure, connects to his will to transvest. In distinction to this case study, this essay intends to emphasize the mother figure as one of the instances of the feminine to the child, inferring to the thought of transvestility having an identification with femininity. For all, questions about narcissism, Oedipus complex and castration gain prominence inside the research and combine to the mechanism of denial. His issues on caring and on body entwine, bringing along considerations towards eroticism, present on the mother-son relation and modifications on the patient’s body. On the presented relationship, transvest hismself would be having access to an idealized body through erotization while providing live to an almost-dead mother / A presente dissertação, escrita sob a luz da Psicopatologia Fundamental, aborda questões referentes à travestilidade e elementos que se ligam a essa manifestação. O tema nasceu de uma série de atendimentos clínicos – realizados em uma ONG que atende a população GLSBT – nos quais um dos pacientes fala ininterruptamente de sua mãe. Nesses atendimentos, o paciente menciona uma vontade de se travestir que não realizaria em função da mãe; nega constantemente as falas da analista e de todos aqueles que se aproximam da dinâmica instaurada entre ele e a mãe – vista como perfeita, mesmo que a mãe estivesse muito doente. A hipótese levantada é que o excesso de negação, bem como a ênfase na mãe se liga à sua vontade de se travestir. A partir desse estudo de caso, o presente trabalho pretende dar ênfase à figura materna como um dos representantes do feminino para a criança, levando a pensar que o travestimento possui uma face identificatória com a feminilidade. Para tanto, questões referentes a narcisismo, complexo de Édipo e castração ganham destaque no andamento da pesquisa e ligam-se ao mecanismo da negação. As questões do cuidado e do corpo se entrelaçam, trazendo reflexões referentes ao erotismo, presentes na relação travada com a mãe e nas transformações do corpo do paciente. Na relação apresentada, travestir-se seria ter acesso ao corpo idealizado através da erotização e, ao mesmo tempo, dar vida à mãe quase morta

Transformations of the Beautiful reexamines a problem that emerges during the mid-eighteenth century: the devaluation of the aesthetic category of the beautiful. In opposition to accounts that identify this problem with the rediscovery of the sublime, this dissertation emphasizes the crucial yet underexamined role that historicization played in the destabilization of beauty’s normative status in German aesthetic discourse. Additionally, I demonstrate that literary discourse became a key mode through which the beautiful’s problematic status was negotiated. Assembling literary texts from 1759-1817 that thematize beautiful objects or phenomena in terms of their historicity or instability, and transform them, I argue that these moments constitute discrete instances in which literature responds to the precarious position of beauty in modernity. With recourse to texts by Winckelmann, Schiller, Jean Paul, Ernst August Friedrich Klingemann and Eichendorff, I focus on the specific literary techniques employed by different genres—description, elegy, and narrative fiction—and how they reconfigure the relationship between the modern subject and the beautiful. In so doing I demonstrate how literary texts intervene in aesthetic discourse to reevaluate and generate alternative conceptions of the beautiful.

The purposes of the present research were to investigate the potential relationships between ego identity development, personality characteristics and social influence styles in college women. It was hypothesized that advanced identity development would be associated with more complex personality functioning and effective social influence behavior. Research subjects were classified according to identity status using The Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. They responded to the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Styleand engaged in a social influence task with a male or female confederate. The advanced statuses generally demonstrated more complex social-cognitive styles that allowed them to both process large amounts of stimulus information and maintain periods of private reflection of their thoughts and feelings. Conversely, the foreclosure women reported a cognitive style characterized by reduced attentional focus. In their social influence behavior, the advanced statuses employed more direct strategies and a wider repertoire of influence skills. When paired with a male confederate, the use of feminine sex-role stereotypic behavior, such as self-abasement, pleading and whining, increased with advanced identity status. The lower statuses utilized less desirable influence styles that were both placating and authoritarian. No relationship between personality characteristics and social influence style was observed in the present investigation. These findings provide tentative evidence for the relationship between advanced identity development and more complex cognitive and interpersonal styles. The potential effects of sex-role expectations in male-female influence situations were also explored.

The purpose of this thesis was to explore the relationships between perceived feminine role orientation and positive self-concept, as measured by scores attained on the Inventory of Feminine Values (IFV), and the Total Positive Self Scale of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS). Three objectives were established. First, to gather current information on women's realistic and ideal self-perceptions of their feminine roles, and determine whether these are liberal, traditional, or neutral in orientation. Second, to determine if there are significant differences in self-concept as measured by the TSCS among women who see themselves as either traditional, liberal or neutral in perceived feminine role. Third, to determine if differences in self-concept as measured by the TSCS are related to discrepancies between Real Self and Ideal Self scores on the IFV. Both instruments and a demographic questionnaire were completed by 87 undergraduate and graduate women at Utah State University. It was found that women in the sample as a whole saw themselves as neutral in perceived feminine role orientation, on both the Real Self and Ideal Self forms of the IFV. The mean attained on Form A (Real Self) was 4.011, while the Form B (Ideal Self) mean was 2.931. There was no significant difference between these two scores. An analysis of variance test was done to determine if there was a significant difference in positive self-concept for women who saw their feminine roles as liberal, those who saw their roles as traditional, and those who had a neutral role orientation. There was no significant difference. All three groups had Total Positive Self scores (TSCS) above the norm mean. The Pearson product-moment correlation technique was used to ascertain the degree of relationship between perceived feminine role orientation and positive self-concept. It yielded a coefficient of -.11, which did not reach significance. The Pearson product-moment correlation technique was used to determine the relationship between discrepancies in Forms A and B scores (IFV) and positive self-concept, as measured by scores on the Total Positive Self Scale of the TSCS. A coefficient of -.319 was obtained, significant at the 1% level. This verified the hypothesis as stated, evidencing that as the difference between scores attained on Forms A and B increases, positive self-concept decreases. Results were discussed in terms of the significance of the findings, mainly, that regardless of how a woman sees herself, as either traditional, neutral, or liberal in feminine role, she may have high or low self-concept. However, the more congruent she is in her realistic self-perception and in her idealistic self-perception, the higher her positive self-concept will be. Recommendations for future research were suggested. Among these were recommendations that research be undertaken with women who are not primarily college students; measures of other variables, as anxiety, be used in future research in conjunction with the IFV to explore relationships between perceived feminine role and other variables, as anxiety; and, research be undertaken to investigate whether there is a significant positive correlation between self-directedness on the IFV and graduate school attendance in a randomly selected sample of university students.

Theologians, philosophers, moralists, artists, men and women of letters of the seventeenth century were interested in the notion of "virtue" and the place it should occupy in the education of children and in the life of adults. Because of this interest, literary genres of this period, and more specifically plays, provide us with many references of the word "virtue". This concept is presented as one of the essential characteristics to be found in a hero and a heroine. However, "virtue" is not a constant concept, for its meaning is determined by the socio-political context, the author's philosophy, and the gender of the person to whom it is attributed. Thus, through the lens of the moral discourse and in a multidisciplinary and comparative perspective we will analyze the different nuances of "virtue" in three plays by Pierre Corneille: Horace, Cinna and Polyeucte. The selection of these three historical pieces was based on the attention paid to the subject of "virtue" by Pierre Corneille. Through this analysis we will highlight the various interpretations of the concept of virtue with regard to the gender of the character in question. In addition, we will identify the advances made (voluntarily or not) by Pierre Corneille regarding the virtue of the woman and its approximation to that of the man.

The older woman's body is an example of the discontinuous nature of those beings who come under the rubric of woman and, as such, demontrates the impossibility of a unitary representation of woman. This thesis explores the social construction of the older woman's body both as abject and as 'docile/useful' and proposes how this abjectification can be re-inscribed as transgressive through a de-territorialization of the older woman's body.This thesis positions the older woman's body as (un)becoming because it lacks cultural intelligibility as representative of the feminine on the one hand and, on the other, because it disrupts normative ideals of femininity and eludes disciplinary practices. Sexuality is used as a resource to conjure, construct, reinforce and validate the 'ideal' woman, a model against which the older woman is redefined as asexual. I argue that the particular technologies employed in the production of the older woman's 'docile/useful' body are those of the health sciences. A 'docile/useful' body transforms the older woman into a knowable, treatable and profitable body through discourses of health. Mass mammographic screening is analysed in order to illustrate how the biomedical sciences are employed in the regulation of the older woman's body through the co-option of health promotion strategy as a disciplinary practice. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
