For about sixty years, feminism has been in a complicated relationship with psychoanalysis. On the one hand, psychoanalysis deals with topics important to feminism, and many of its ideas could be rethought. On the other hand, the substantive contradictions between feminism and psychoanalysis hinder their productive collaboration. This article proposes that the problems faced by the project of feminist psychoanalysis arise not so much from the differences as from the similarities between these two discourses. The feminist view is based on the basic foundations of psychoanalysis. The structure of society in feminism is understood in the same fashion as the psychoanalytic unconscious. Feminist discourse aims to “capture” a symptom and offer it up for interpretation. At the same time, the interpretive apparatus of feminism differs from psychoanalytic theory for it is based on an internally coherent system of prescriptions. So long as the symptom is successfully interpreted, political involvement is something that feminism has hopes to achieve. Thus individual cases are taken as analogous to the “conscious” in psychoanalysis and the system of prescriptives the “unconscious”. In such a way a “collective” political subject can be formed. Since psychoanalysis and feminism find the causes of the symptom in different areas that do not intersect they come into conflict.The introduction briefly describes the context of the study. The first section introduces the concepts of description and prescription and analyses feminism’s theoretical foundations. The author comes to the conclusion that the foundations of feminism could be thought of as a system of prescriptives. The second section examines the structures that feminism and psychoanalysis share and how they come into conflict. In the third section, feminism is compared with queer theory, and the differences between the two are used to bring together the idea of a collective political subject. In conclusion, the main strategies for strengthening feminist discourse are considered. Particular emphasis is given to the project of feminist epistemology. The materials used in the article are academic and journalistic articles written by feminists, blog posts and comments from discussion platforms, and a single public interview.

This essay engages in a debate with Nancy Fraser and Dorothy Leland concerning the contribution of Lacanian-inspired psychoanalytic feminism to feminist theory and practice. Teresa Brennan's analysis of the impasse in psychoanalysis and feminism and Judith Butler's proposal for a radically democratic feminism are employed in examining the issues at stake. I argue, with Brennan, that the impasse confronting psychoanalysis and feminism is the result of different conceptions of the relationship between the psychical and the social. I suggest Lacanian-inspired feminist conceptions are useful and deserve our consideration.

In the context of psychoanalytic practice, the relevance of challenging gender oppressions in modern subjectivities relies on engaging in meaningful dialogues with feminism. Drawing from our academic background in teaching psychoanalysis, gender studies, and feminism, as well as our experience as private practice analysts, this article presents ideas and reflections on an ongoing project—a feminist clinic in Michoacán, Mexico. The clinic’s goal is to uncover and challenge gender system oppressions that affect modern female subjectivities, with a particular focus on how gender-based violence shapes these experiences. The article is divided into three sections. The first section provides a historical account of the feminist clinic project, highlighting its social and political context. The second section explores the tensions and fluctuations between psychoanalytic theory and feminist activism, considering the contemporary struggles faced by women impacted by gender-based violence. It investigates how psychoanalysis and feminism can complement each other to create effective intervention strategies against women’s oppression. The third section analyses the potential of the feminist clinic project as a tool for both academic pedagogy and psychoanalytic clinical training, offering a new path to feminist activism called ‘subjective activism’.

Freudian psychoanalysis has long been a matter of debate among feminists, and usually criticized for biological determinism. While discussing the Freudian framework, feminists have also been discussing how to define a female subject and the age old “equality vs. difference” discussion. This study discusses critical feminist responses to Freud which demonstrate the intricacies of the “equality vs. difference” debate amongst different strands of feminist theory. This article analyses three diverse lines of argumentation regarding psychoanalysis and the equality vs. difference debate by focusing on the works of Luce Irigaray, Simone de Beauvoir and Juliet Mitchell. Beauvoir and Irigaray both criticize the Freudian approach for taking “the male” as the real, essential subject. However, whereas Beauvoir sides with an egalitarian feminism, Irigaray defends underlining the difference of female sexuality. Juliet Mitchell, on the other hand, defends Freudian psychoanalysis through the argument that psychoanalysis actually offers a way to understand how the unconscious carries the heritage of historical and social reality. Accordingly, what Freudian psychoanalysis does is to analyze, rather than to legitimize, the basis of the patriarchal order in the unconscious.

This article results from reading the Polish translation of Anne Dufourmantelle’s book In Praise of Risk. The French analyst’s reflections are interpreted in a double context. The first is the frame of therapeutic practice. This reading is situated in parallel to the process of the analyst’s psychotherapeutic work with the patient. The second is the field of contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Here, the author’s reflections meet the inquiries of British psychoanalysts (changing the language which describes the solutions to developmental dilemmas), French psychoanalysis and philosophy (deconstructions) and the feminist reflections of Freudian analysis. Key-words: psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, Anne Dufourmantelle, psychotherapy

Lacan’s effect in America was dramatic but limited following his 1975 visit. His polemic with ego psychology in Écrits radically changed the way literary critics, notably feminist critics, thought about psychoanalysis, while in those same years—the 1970s and 1980s—American psychoanalysts, taken up with their own reactions to ego psychology, paid him little attention. Yet après coup, looking back at that period, Lacan can be counted among those who contributed importantly to a major shift in our conception of psychoanalytic process: our contemporary sense of acts of reading—including clinical listening—as acts in themselves, rather than as steps toward the interpretive determination of hidden meaning. In acts of reading inspired by Lacan, feminist critics helped free Freud’s theory of disavowal from its origins in the male anxieties of the castration complex. Speaking as the disavowed “others” of psychoanalysis, Lacan’s feminist readers also went beyond him in moving psychoanalysis toward acknowledgment of questions of social and historical reality, including its own. Regarding this evolution, it can be speculated that hidden behind the bitterness of the split in the 1950s and 1960s between Lacan and the once European, now American ego psychologists can be found an unconscious agreement. On both sides of the Atlantic, psychoanalysis had had its reasons, if different reasons, to disavow for years the ways it was implicated in the unspeakable trauma of recent European history.

After a discussion of the impact of psychoanalysis on psychological thinking about personality theory and the changes that have been taking place within psychoanalytic theory about women, eight criteria arising out of feminist therapy theory are stated. These criteria represent suggested minimum conditions that a woman-based theory of female development and personality needs to fulfill. Freudian theory, current psychoanalytic theory, and several feminist theories are then evaluated in light of the stated criteria. The author concludes that feminists have arrived at some degree of general agreement about personality theory, although they have often arrived at their specific approaches via diverse theoretical routes.

This paper highlights the important contribution to psychoanalysis made by the psychoanalyst Karin Stephen. Following in the footsteps of other feminist biographers and historians of psychoanalysis, who have worked to bring ‘Freud’s women’ out of the shadows, this article not only focuses on Karin Stephen’s role within the internal political struggles of the British Psychoanalytical Society during the Second World War, but also shows how her psychoanalytic writings can be read in the context of her political activism in the 1930s. Beginning with a biographical account of Stephen’s early life and marriage in October 1914 to Virginia Woolf’s brother, Adrian Stephen, the paper goes on to explore the impact of Karin Stephen’s political activism on her psychoanalytic writing. The article examines Stephen’s arguments, in both her published and her unpublished writings, about the capacity for psychoanalysis to respond to the political crises of the 1930s and 1940s by offering patients freedom from servility to the ‘raging dictator[s]’ within and beyond the inner world of their minds.

The relation between psychoanalysis and feminism has been the focus of attention in the French academy, and among them, the issue of gender identity (sexualité) has been the focus of feminist criticism of the classical theory of psychoanalysis. In response to the above debate, I believe that there is a dimension that cannot be ignored, that is the relationship between otherness and gender identity. To show this dimension, I will first examine the concept of "homosocial desire" proposed by Sedgwick and Chizuko Ueno. Second, I will sort out the passages in Freud and Lacan that may be relevant to this issue. My argument is, first, that developments within psychoanalysis from Freud to Lacan do provide new foundations for theories of gender identity; second, that the issue of sociality behind gender identity also poses a challenge for psychoanalytic theory.

Since the 19th century, feminists have criticized the mental health establishment and its treatment of women. Issues include the sexist use of psychoanalytic concepts and psychiatric diagnoses, the misuse of medication, and sexual misconduct in therapy. Feminists have also called attention to psychological problems arising from gender inequality in everyday life. Physical and sexual abuse of women is of special concern. Feminist innovations in therapy include consciousness-raising, sex-role resocialization, and new approaches to psychoanalysis and family therapy. We urge feminists to develop a fuller understanding of gender and power, and to use this knowledge to challenge the established theory and practice of clinical psychology.

The fields of feminism/postfeminism and psychoanalysis/theoretical psychoanalysis share common focal points oriented toward the questions around the gendered subjectivity and the mechanisms which subject the subject and his/her body to the socially accepted/prefered gender standards. Speaking about that, feminism and psychoanalysis, as theoretical strategies, enter into mutual interrelation of both dialogue and tension. Working with some of the basic hypotheses of those disciplines, this paper aims to show the potential of analytical-comparative approach to feminist and psycho?analytic theoretical strategies, accentuating at the same time the importance of their dialogue as the means of better understanding of the femaleness and gender in general in the actual context of living.

Analyzing conceptualizations of motherhood in 1980s West German psychoanalytic debates, this article argues that, in the wake of what can be termed as a ‘turn to motherhood,’ German psychoanalysis saw an unprecedented politicization of motherhood that followed from a conjunction of three distinct historical contexts: the integration of feminist theories of subjectivity into the psychoanalytic canon; the belated reception of the British object relations school; and the renewed attempt at grappling with the Nazi past. On the one hand, West German (female) psychoanalysts posited motherhood as a utopian space that allowed for uncorrupted forms of intersubjectivity in the form of an intimate and sexualized mother–child/mother–daughter relationship. On the other hand, and mirroring this ideal, motherhood, if not practiced correctly, could, according to psychoanalytically inspired thinkers in the late 1980s, also be a source of fascism.

Foucault’s remarks concerning psychoanalysis are ambivalent and even prima facie contra-dictory, at times lauding Freud and Lacan as anti-humanists, at others being severely criti-cal of their imbrication within psychiatric power. This has allowed a profusion of interpretations of his position, between so-called ‘Freudo-Foucauldians’ at one extreme and Foucauldians who condemn psychoanalysis as such at the other. In this article, I begin by surveying Foucault’s biographical and theoretical relationship to psychoanalysis and the sec-ondary scholarship on this relationship to date. I pay particular attention to the discussion of the relationship in feminist scholarship and queer theory, and that by psychoanalytic thinkers, as well as attending to the particular focus in the secondary literature on Fou-cault’s late work and his relationship to the figure of Jacques Lacan. I conclude that Fou-cault’s attitude to psychoanalysis varies with context, and that some of his criticisms of psychoanalysis in part reflect an ignorance of the variety of psychoanalytic thought, partic-ularly in its Lacanian form. I thus argue that Foucault sometimes tended to overestimate the extent of the incompatibility of his approach with psychoanalytic ones and that there is ultimately no serious incompatibility there. Rather, psychoanalysis represents a substantively different mode of inquiry to Foucault’s work, which is neither straightforwardly ex-clusive nor inclusive of psychoanalytic insights.

The contemporary Women’s Movement has generated major new theories of the social construction of gender and male power. The feminist attack on the masculinist assumptions of cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis and most of the other academic disciplines has raised questions about some basic assumptions of those fields. For example, feminist economists have questioned the public/private split of much of mainstream economics, that ignores the social necessity of women’s unpaid housework and childcare. Feminist psychologists have challenged cognitive and psychoanalytic categories of human moral and gender development arguing that they are biased toward the development of male children rather than female children. Feminist anthropologists have argued that sex/gender systems, based on the male exchange of women in marriage, have socially produced gender differences in sexuality and parenting skills which have perpetuated different historical and cultural forms of male dominance. Feminist philosophers and theorists have suggested that we must reject the idea of a gender-free epistemological standpoint from which to understand the world. Finally radical feminists have argued that the liberal state permits a pornography industry that sexually objectifies women, thus legitimizing male violence against women.

The paper argues that psychoanalysis and deconstruction offer more to feminist theory than contestation. The common feminist criticisms of the work of Lacan and Derrida are not as compelling as may be thought. Among the possibilities for feminist theory using psychoanalysis and deconstruction is the scrutiny of theory as theory—and this will inevitably include scrutinizing feminist theory itself.

This paper aims to explore Helen Cixous’ postmodernist trends in her formulations of a new form of writing known as ecriture feminine. The paper attempts to validate the view that Cixous’ “The Laugh of the Medusa” is regarded as the manifesto of postmodern feminism. This is done by attempting a critical discourse analysis of Cixous' narrative of ecriture feminine. Deploying a multifaceted-framework, ranging from postmodernism to psychoanalysis through poststructuralist theory and semiotics, the study reveals Cixous' metamorphosing and diversified trend of feminist writing that transposes the subversion of patriarchy into a rather bio-textual feminism, known as bisexuality. The paper highlights the significance of Cixous’ essay as a benchmark of postmodern feminism.

This volume is dedicated to readings of the borderline informed by Psychoanalysis. My essay is an exception to that rule. In it, I analyze Ingmar Bergman’s Persona (1966) with an eye to the dangers of a one-way conversation. Interestingly, Persona dramatizes an inversion of a typical psychoanalytic session, for here the patient says nothing and her nurse confesses. The aftermath of this inversion and its consequences are explored with the help of the Italian feminist, Adrianna Cavarero, the Danish Philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, and the Serbian performance artist, Marina Abramović. Enjoining a debate within psychoanalysis from the border regions of existential and feminist philosophy, I argue that the silence of an interlocutor creates a mask screening the speaker from the mutual recognition needed for a healthy sense of identity. This essay argues the case for conversation.

Claims that Mad Men (2007–2015) is an obedient post-feminist text overlook the drama’s images of both women and the history of feminism and its potential to impact on contemporary understandings of gender politics. Mad Men can be seen as a psychological object, helping viewers to explore links between their own experience and that of characters on screen as the narrative unfolds. Making links between the social re-emergence of feminist awareness, the drama’s representations of second-wave feminism and a psychoanalytic understanding of mourning, I suggest that a return to psychoanalytic methodologies has the potential to enrich television scholarship.

Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) encompasses conditions where individuals face challenges in determining their sexual identity, often deviating from the binary gender norms prevalent in society. This research delves into the portrayal of sexual identity formation among DSD individuals, specifically in the manga 'Houkago Hokenshitsu' by Mizushiro Setona. This research is conducted by applying qualitative research methods, research analysis is described or described through written words. The study aims to elucidate the process through which DSD characters navigate their sexual identity within a dream world, while also exploring the interplay between sexual identity, DSD, and feminist psychoanalytic perspectives presented in the comic. Drawing upon Juliet Mitchell's theoretical framework of Unconsciousness and Neurosis as expounded in 'Psychoanalysis and Feminism: A Radical Reassessment of Freudian Psychoanalysis' (2000), this research underscores the significant role of the unconscious mind in shaping individual identity. Mitchell contends that unconscious processes profoundly influence one's psyche, often manifesting in symptoms of hysteria-induced Neurosis, such as anxiety. The findings of this study reveal two key insights: Firstly, the engagement and exploration of the dream realm facilitate the DSD character in crystallizing their desired sexual identity for real-world expression. Secondly, this journey towards self-identification within the dream world precipitates symptoms of neurotic anxiety, stemming from societal pressures and the internal struggle for self-acceptance and autonomy in reconstructing their sexual identity. In essence, this research underscores the intricate dynamics between sexual identity formation, DSD experiences, and the psychological ramifications portrayed in 'Houkago Hokenshitsu', shedding light on the complexities inherent in the quest for personal identity and acceptance.Keywords: DSD; Dreams; Sexual Identity; Feminist Psychoanalysis

Abstract This article discusses the settler-colonial femininity at work in two films that foreground the Pacific Ocean, Blue Crush (John Stockwell, 2002) and The Piano (Jane Campion, 1993). With these film readings it offers a critique of the feminist new materialist turn toward water. The feminist hydrological turn aims to amplify the oceanic sensorium’s potential to dissolve the always-already-illusory boundedness of Western subjectivity into a recognition of watery enmeshment, and it aligns, though does not often directly engage, with Indigenous Pacific and trans-Pacific anti-colonial hydropolitics. This article brings feminist hydrological writing into conversation with psychoanalysis and explains that blue crush cinema has the following elements and functions: (1) it tells of a settler woman with a powerful draw toward the water—here crush is polyvalent; (2) the ocean is at once literal and psychic; (3) the film camera allows water’s diffractive animacy to distort human form, a distortion that hydrological feminists associate with dissolving Western subjectivity, and that psychoanalytic theorist Julia Kristeva associates with “oceanic feeling”; but (4), in the end, the blue crush enables the settler woman to return to colonial work. This final function has critical implications for feminist readings of water, which, as this article’s central speculation goes, may work paradoxically to recuperate Western thought.

Drawing on the ideas of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, Mladen Dolar and Slavoj Žižek, founders of the Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis, turn in their work to opera, with Mladen Dolar focusing on Mozart and Slavoj Žižek on Wagner. The title of their work refers to the two deaths, symbolic and real, of which Lacan speaks in connection with ethics and aesthetics in his Seminar VII. Death, along with love, forms the center of both the operatic and the psychoanalytic narrative. Recently, the psychoanalytic approach to opera has become notorious. Typically, its product is a deconstructionist reading of the libretto or, even worse, a rather primitive Freudian debunking of its (patriarchal, anti-Semitic, and/or anti-feminist) prejudices. However, the authors argue that opera deserves better. The historical relationship between opera and psychoanalysis is suggestive. The moment of the birth of psychoanalysis (early twentieth century) is also often perceived as the moment of the death of opera—as if after psychoanalysis, opera, at least in its traditional form, was no longer possible. Not surprisingly, echoes of Freudianism are present in most contenders for the title of the last opera.

Abstract It is my contention that there is a significant relationship between “Phenomenology of Perception” (Merleau-Ponty) and “The Second Sex” (de Beauvoir). The two authors give great importancc to the lived body (Leib), either from a neutral perspective, either from a perspective feminine. This key concept of the phenomenology allows us to understand the lived experience of women and their possible relationship with feminism. From this corporeal sense we analyze the Merleau-Pontinian redefinition of subjectivity and reason. We emphasize his criticism of reductionism, both epistemological as ontological. We refute certain feminists accusations against Merleau-Ponty. To do this, we study all his work in search of traces of women, we place them in context, while we study his own hermeneutics of psychoanalysis in order to highlight the contribution of it to the deconstruction of stereotypes about femininity. We conclude by showing the main keys of this phenomenology for· the current feminist Philosophy.

Within psychoanalysis, BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, sadism and masochism) has typically been interpreted as pathological, resulting from the (gendered) tension between assertion and recognition developed in the oedipal phases and enforced in dominant ideology. To practitioners, however, BDSM recognises the physical and psychological dependence of people on each other. The tasks inherent to successful BDSM redefine traditional masculine and feminine identity; dominants recognise their own dependence and submissives are independently powerful. Expanding on feminist psychoanalytic theory, this paper argues that BDSM relations may embody the psychologically ideal state of ‘mutual recognition.’ Practitioners take pleasure in connection without the threat of engulfment. Significantly, the skills developed in BDSM may help mediate a variety of interpersonal and institutional power relations.

This research paper explores the key concepts of dark identities in Mizuki Tsujimura’s "Lonely Castle in the Mirror" through a psychoanalytic feminist perspective. The paper is focusing on the psychological struggles, repression, and gendered trauma experienced by its female characters. This study examines how societal expectations, patriarchal structures, and mental health struggles shape the characters’ fragmented identities using Freudian, Lacanian, and Kristevan psychoanalytic theories alongside feminist literary criticism. The analysis highlights how fantasy functions as a symbolic space for self-exploration and resistance, enabling the characters to confront their repressed fears and challenge oppressive gender norms. This research contributes to contemporary feminist literary studies by bridging psychoanalysis, trauma theory, and Japanese literature, offering new insights into the novel’s critique of social alienation and identity formation. While acknowledging limitations such as cultural translation nuances and the subjectivity of textual analysis, the study recommends future research on cross-cultural feminist comparisons, reader-response analyses, and interdisciplinary approaches to trauma and identity in contemporary fiction. This research establishes Lonely Castle in the Mirror as a significant work in modern Japanese literature, emphasizing its role in addressing mental health, gender oppression, and psychological resilience.

The paper discusses political implications of the feminist revision of psychoanalysis in the works of major representatives of 1970s French poststructuralism, and their current significance. The influence and modifications of Lacan's interpretation of imaginary structure of the Ego and linguistic structure of the unconscious on explanations of the relations between gender and identity developed by Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray and H?l?ne Cixous are examined. French poststructuralist feminism, developing in the 1970s, was the second major current in French feminism of the times, different from and in a way opposed to Simone de Beauvoir's approach. While de Beauvoir explores 'women's condition' determined by social and historical circumstances, French feminists of poststructuralist persuasion engage with problems of unconscious psychological structuring of feminine identity, women's psychosexuality, theoretical implications of gendered visions of reality, especially in philosophy, semiology and psychology, as well as opening up new discursive possibilities of women's and feminine self-expression through 'women's writing'. Political implications of their approach have remained controversial to this day. These authors have been criticized for dislocating women's activism into the sphere of language and theory, as well as for reasserting the concept of women's nature. Debates over whether we need the concept of women's nature - and if yes, what kind - and over the relation between theory and political activism, have resulted in the split between the so-called 'essentialist' and 'anti-essentialist' approaches in feminist theory, and the subsequent division into American (non-essentialist) and French (partly labeled as essentialist) strands. The division is an oversimplification and overlooks concrete historical circumstances that produced the divergence between 'materialist' and 'linguistic' currents in France.

Through a close reading of Klein and Irigaray's work on the mother-daughter relation’ ship via the Electra myth, Jacobs diagnoses what she considers a fundamental problem in psychoanalytic and feminist psychoanalytic theory. She shows that neither thinker is able to theorize the mother-daughter relationship on a structural level but is only able to describe its symptoms. Jacobs makes a crucial distinction between description and theory and argues that the need to go beyond description and phenomenology toward the creation of a structural theory is the only way that feminist philosophy and psychoanalysis can avoid reproducing the terms of the male imaginary. The essay concludes by arguing that theorization of the mother-daughter relationship can only be achieved if we analyze manifestations of the mother-daughter relationship in clinical, cultural, and mythical material through the framework of a foreclosed or absent underlying maternal law.

<strong><em>Abstract</em></strong> <em> The present research paper sheds light on and deliberates the new perspectives offered by French feminists such as Helen Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Christine Delphy, Monique Wittings, and Colette Guillaumin. The French feminists gave a new theoretical orientation and direction to feminist movement in twentieth century by providing new insights. Their work is based on the new developments and theoretical perspectives of post structural thinkers such as Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, Foucault and Louis Althusser. The female body is at the centre in the writing of French feminists. Language is also a main concern in their works. The new discoveries and theories in psychoanalysis largely influenced and shaped their works. Their main contention is that the man and the women experience the world quite differently and women need a different style of writing and a new language to express their perceptions of the world. Ecriture feminine is one the major contribution of French feminists.</em>

Norman Mailer, a Pulitzer Prize winner and a chronicler of his time, devoted his literary career to the representation of the western culture and the reality of America by putting his trust in sex and illustrating the gender relationship. In his writings, male are often created as robust, violent and powerful while female are often being bullied, humiliated, and defeated. Thus, Mailer has become one of the prime targets of feminist literary critics, being accused as a “prototypical male chauvinist”, a “warrior for male supremacy”, and a “militarist”. However, what these feminists fail to trace are Mailer’s development of feminist thoughts in his writings: The Naked and The Dead models women as prisoners of sex, having no chance to air their voice; The Deer Park exhibits female as passive angry fighters, trying to be heard but failed; finally, Tough Guys Don’t Dance constructs the dynamic female revolters, claiming the initial feminism success. Thereby, Mailer exhibits his positive exploration of feminism thoughts, his view that reality is not sex but personality and individuality, and his desire for a balance between man and woman. This paper is grounded theoretically on psychoanalysis and feminism with textual analysis of the female characters in Mailer’s three novels, progressing from The Naked and The Dead, through The Deer Park, to finally Tough Guys Don’t Dance.

Seven different theories are presented in the discussion, all treating the study of folk fairy tales. At the beginning of the 20th century, two theories were predominant: the folkloristic theory (Antti Aarne, Stith Thompson) and the structuralist theory (Vladimir Propp). In the second half of the 20th century, the stylistic-literary theory of Max Lüthi had an important influence on further research in Europe. The interest in fairy tales and psychoanalysis (Sigmund Freud) continued in the second half of the 20th century. Although the psychoanalytic theory of Bruno Bettelheim became popular, it was also criticised for connecting models of folk fairy tales with sexuality. Within psychoanalysis differing views were also developed by Carl Gustav Jung (archetypes in fairytales) and Marie-Louise von Franz (archetypes of women), who in her approach primarily elucidated folk fairy tales. The sociological approach of Jack Zipes became predominant in the 1980s and 1990s, and had an important influence on the development of the feminist perspective on the model of folk fairy tales and the gender studies. The representatives of feminist theory were Maria Tatar, Marina Warner and Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Characteristic of the latter is feminist research with an explicit emphasis on archetypes. No pure theories exist, but rather each of the theories mentioned combines various perspectives. The motive of Beautiful Vida in Slovene young-adult literature is one of the most important national motives. In Slovene young-adult literature and in literature teaching the following texts are used: 1) the folk poem Young Vida (Ihan), 2) Beautiful Vida (France Prešeren), 3) Beautiful Vida in Action (Andrej Rozman Roza) and 4) the folk fairy tale The Prince and Beautiful Vida.

Abstract: What does epistemic decolonization mean for contemporary rethinking of the body, gender/sexuality, and knowledge in feminist and queer scholarship? Through a close reading of Chinese medicine's classical text Huang Di Nei Jing ( Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon ), this essay proposes a "body-of-orifices" in which the penis like the vagina and the anus is but another orifice among other more visible bodily openings. In feminist and queer theorization, the penis has been almost only accounted for as something else, as the metaphoric pen, the psychoanalytic phallus, as anything other than the organ itself. Meanwhile, in pornographic, cinematic, and other visual representations, the Asian man's member(ship) is largely denied, nowhere to be seen. This invisibility mirrors the overrepresentation of white male philosophers in much of queer theory's theoretical foundation. Engaging closely with feminist and queer re-readings of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis while delving deeply into the philosophical and cosmological concepts of Chinese medicine, the essay also argues that the body-of-orifices entails a different heuristic model for a less hegemonic practice of knowing based on cultivation of passivity and receptiveness, which is very different from the colonial/modern model of knowledge-acquisition as mastery, penetration, and possession.

<strong><em>Abstract</em></strong> <em>The plight of Indian women in society and their portrayal in literature contrast in theory and practice, and in the recognition of new methods and strategies in the practice of feminist narratives and their subversion in psychological and social structures. Written by Munshi Premchand, Nirmala revolves around a female character and the problems she faces. This story depicts Nirmala’s life from her childhood to her old age. The story begins with her marriage fixed, followed by the annulment of the marriage on grounds of her father’s death and her dowry. The analysis leads women writers to approach new methodologies and strategies in feminist narrative practice and change their decisions to ways of writing other than the traditional final evaluation and solving key problems. Why should women be willing to give up their desire for love or marriage? Or is it just a strategy to subvert women against established dominant norms? Does women's fiction consider alternative female strategies, protest, slavery, or challenge psychosexual and familial relationships within social structures? Does this reflect a different perspective or alternative preference of women in the Indian cultural context? Are they really committed to feminist work? This trend is not a constructive and culturally sensitive process of social change and personal growth, but a feminist interpretation of "separation feminism" or "radical opposition to marriage," the repressed state of fashion, and preoccupation with women. True? Does it achieve the goals of self-actualization, self-expression, self-discovery, self-determination, self-knowledge, self-liberation? The journey to find yourself and freedom forms the weight of women's experience, the result of "cultural tone" in society, and the resulting resolution and revival in society and literature.</em>

This paper considers the male-dominated philosophical traditions that have failed to adequately explicate the philosophical concept of desire. From psychoanalysis to Deleuze and Guattari, these traditions conceptualized desire as lack, loss, or a formless force. However, the feminist viewpoint proves these theories were inconsistent with and unaware of feminist interests. Therefore, the paper will posit that Catherine Malabou’s philosophy of pleasure has the capacity to dismantle the phallic economy and propose novel, plastic ways of perceiving femininity.

This study embarks on an exploration into the nuanced interplay of gender paradigms, linguistic hegemony, and ecological awareness within the narrative tapestry of <em>Aranyaka </em>by Amruta Patil and Devdutt Pattanaik. Situated within the broader discourse of feminist theory, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial critique, this research endeavours to dissect the entrenched dichotomies that stratify intellect from corporeality while delving into the socio-cultural hegemonic structures that relegate femininity to the subordinate realm of nature. Central to this inquiry is the deconstruction of the patriarchal lens through which gendered identities are constructed by utilising Val Plumwood's conceptualisation of the "interrelated connection" between intellect and corporeality. A pivotal facet of the analysis lies in the examination of language as a vehicle for hegemonic control, leveraging insights from Lacanian psychoanalysis, wherein linguistic patriarchy perpetuates the erasure of indigenous feminine voices. However, amidst the stifling confines of linguistic hegemony, the graphic medium emerges as a potent conduit for resistance, transcending linguistic constraints to afford visual expression to silenced narratives of the indigenous feminine; as Katyayani, the protagonist embodies Luce Irigaray’s ‘autoerotic woman’ who is not “pleasure-giving” to men but “self-embracing”. The anticipated findings of this study extend thus to offer insights into the transformative potential of visual storytelling as a catalyst for ecological activism and feminist resistance. By excavating the subterranean currents of gendered oppression and ecological exploitation that suffuse <em>Aranyaka</em>'s narrative, this study tries to assess <em>Aranyaka </em>as an accessible reimagining of our relationship with nature and the reconceptualisation of gendered identities within the crucible of ecological consciousness.

Feminist criticism arose in response to developments in the field of the feminist movement. Many thinkers such as John Stuart Mill, Mary Wollstonecraft raised their voice against the injustice done to women in every sphere of life. As this gained momentum throughout the world, feminist also awakened to the depiction and representation of women in literature which is one of the influential medium of socialization and culture. They argued that woman and womanhood are not biological facts but are given social constructs. One is not born a woman, but becomes one through culture and socialization. At first, feminist criticism was reactionary in the nature in the sense that they exposed stereotypical images of women in the literature. These images of women were promulgated by the male writers. These images of women were what men think of women. Gradually, feminist criticism moved from this phase to more constructive work. They unearthed many women writers that were either suppressed or neglected by the male literary tradition. In this way, they created a separate literary tradition of women writers. Feminist critics divided this tradition in such phases as feminine phase, feminist phase and female phase. They also studied the problems faced by female creative writers. They used theories from post-structuralism, Marxism, psychoanalysis to study the nature of female creativity. They also realized that there is an innate difference between male and female modes of writing. Feminist critics also exposed the sexiest nature of man-made language. They also exposed phallic centrism of much of the western literary theory and criticism. They also started to study the language used by the women writers. Simon De Beauvoir, Virginia Woolf, Elaine Showalter and Juliet Mitchell are some of the feminist critics discussed in this paper.

Abstract Inspired by the Chicana feminist artist Alma López’s Our Lady (1999), this essay explores Chicana cultural and psychic investments in representations of the Virgin of Guadalupe. As an image of the suffering mother, the Virgin of Guadalupe is omnipresent in Mexican-American visual culture. Her image has been refigured by several generations of Chicana feminist artists, including Alma López. Chicana feminist reclaiming of the Virgin, however, has been fraught with controversy. Chicana feminist cultural work—such as the art of Alma López, performances by Selena Quintanilla, and writings by Sandra Cisneros and John Rechy—expand the queer and Chicana identifications and desires, and contest narrow, patriarchal nationalisms. By deploying critical race psychoanalysis and semiotics, we can unpack the libidinal investments in the brown female body, as seen in both in popular investments in protecting the Catholic version of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Chicana feminist reinterpretations.

This essay considers psychoanalytic theories of love in the work of Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, and Jacques Lacan. Though there is no coherent theory of love in psychoanalysis, paying attention to love in the analytic situation—that is, to transference—allows us to read analytic love as a transformative practice through which subjects affiliate with one another as subjects rather than as objects. In considering the importance of love to solidarity, the work of Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Black feminist theory is mobilized to offer two short readings of Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved and the autobiography of Dorothy Day. Across these theoretical and narrative works, the author formulates an account of analytic love as a site of negative plenitude that rearranges conventional accounts of identity and difference.

Psychoanalytic literary criticism has always had a particular fascination with texts dealing with the supernatural, the mysterious and the monstrous. Unfortunately such criticism, valuable and provocative though the insights it has provided have been, has all too often treated the text as a “symptom” by which to explain or analyse an essentially extratextual factor, such as the author's psychological disposition. Many interpretations of Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein provide typical examples of this approach. Much psychoanalytic (and also feminist) criticism and interpretation of the novel have focused on the female psyche “behind” the text, showing how the psychoanalytic dynamics structuring Shelley’s own life have found precipitation in her novel. This article offers an alternative to this type of psychoanalytic reading by interpreting the novel in terms of a framework derived from Lacanian psychoanalysis, focusing on the text itself. This interpretation focuses primarily on the interrelated aspects of language, gender, desire and power as manifested in the novel, with the aim of highlighting some hitherto largely unexplored aspects of the text which may be useful in situating the text within the larger current discourse concerning issues of language and power.
