La tramas de la feminidad

Abstract

In order to achieve women’s social participation as full citizens, having a personal and a civil identity as such, it is relevant to analyze current models of women’s subjective construction using the alternative paradigm of difference Psychoanalytical theory allows us to consider this issue from the deepest and complex dimension of the human’s experience, that is to say, desire. Therefore, the author discusses the ways in which women experience feminine juissance, in Lacan’s terms, contrasting, however, the narratives of some mystic women in the terms in which Pascal Mela (1988) analyzes them –only as an encounter with an other, the only one beyond the phallic order, God–, with feminine juissance as a vital experience of the human knowledge, as a barred woman’s subject, as described by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz in her great poem, First Dream (1691).
