Sexuality as a fact of discourse in Jacques Lacan's psychoanalysis
Keywords:
psychoanalysis, sexuality, gender, history, discourseAbstract
Psychoanalysis has received criticism from gender studies and feminist studiesfor considering sexuality as an ahistorical matter and forsupportinguniversalists’ and binarists’ paradigms regarding gender and their varieties.Freudian Theory is questioned about its epistemic grounds based on abiological approach and about certain characterizations of femininity andmasculinity which answer to an essentialist model of the sexual realm.We seekto present Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalysis as a different approach from that ofFreud’spsychoanalysis despite being considered a continuation of it. Bydefining the Unconscious in its structure of language, Lacan allows to conceiveof sexuality as a discourse fact and provides innovative theoretical tools to thinkabout the construction of gender problems and theparadoxes of the "identity"in the clinic field and the cure direction.
