De modo específico, também, objetivamos discutir e problematizar como a noção da feminilidade pode oferecer uma maneira inovadora na forma de ler e compreender o texto kleiniano. Além disso, acreditamos que esse tema permitira pensar outras trilhas subjetivas na contemporaneidade, o que repercutiria, posteriormente, na forma de compreender a Psicanálise deslocada do eixo fálico. Isso porque, desde o início dessa pesquisa nos pautamos na ideia de que haveria, como é defendida por alguns autores contemporâneos da Psicanálise e que já havia sido refletido por Freud ao final de sua obra, a possibilidade de compreender modos de subjetivação fora do registro fálico, ou seja, anteriores à estrutura tradicional do complexo de Édipo e herança de nossa cultura Ocidental. Feminilidade, então, seria esse modo de subjetivação em um tempo psíquico muito primitivo da criança com sua mãe, o que permitiria articulações subjetivas diferenciadas / Abstract: This work intends to understand the theme of femininity changes in the work of Melanie Klein and then trace a historical and epistemological route on the significance of this issue to the thought of this author. Specifically, we also aim to discuss and question how the notion of femininity can offer an innovative way in order to read and understand the Kleinian text. Despite that, we believe that this issue will allow other subjective tracks to come up in contemporary times, what repercussions later in the way of understanding psychoanalysis displaced the phallic trait. In other words, since the beginning of this research we were based on the idea that there would be, as is advocated by some contemporary authors of psychoanalysis and that had been reflected by Freud at the end of his work, the ability to understand modes of subjectivity out of phallic trait i.e. prior to the traditional structure of the Oedipus complex and heritage of our Western culture. Femininity, so it would be this subjectivity so in a very primitive psychic time of the child with his mother, which would allow different subjective joints / Doutor

Effective gender research requires a revision of the meaning of the current notions of agency (masculinity) and communion (femininity), as well as a close examination of the impact of these constructs on well-being outcomes. Based on V. S. Helgeson's (1994) model of sex, agency, communion, and well-being, two studies were conducted to (1) examine the concepts of agency and communion in a multidimensional manner; (2) assess and review the association between agency and mental health through the inclusion of peer reports and a relevant meta-analysis; (3) explore the association between agency and social adjustment, including two pertinent meta-analyses; and (4) empirically assess conceptual parallels among the constructs of agency and communion with the following personality-related constructs: Masculine and feminine traits, agentic and communal behaviors, power and intimacy motivation, and self-critical and dependent depressive styles, as well as their association with well-being outcomes. Findings reveal a positive association between agency and social adjustment, suggest a possible tendency to inflate levels of psychological adjustment in agentic individuals, and highlight the need to revise the concepts of agency and communion as encompassing multiple as opposed to uniform dimensions. Each dimension can lead to diverse well-being outcomes. Lastly, these studies call into question the need to postulate unmitigated forms of agency and communion. Taken as a whole, this work provides evidence for the complexity of the relations between gender and well-being.
