Investigação epistemológica da homossexualidade feminina na obra de Freud: uma perspectiva lewino-bruniana

Abstract

This is an epistemological investigation of the feminine homosexuality. One has considered both Kurt Lewin's distinction between the aristotelian and galilean ways of thought in science and the brunian idea of relativity of movement, and searched, in Freud's works, a new theoretical perspective far away from his aristotelian dichotomy between normality and abnormality. One has then found out the indication of homosexuality as a variation of the genital organization. This variation was assigned to the conception of the complete Oedipus complex in order to establish a continuumbetween heterosexual and homosexual femininity. One proposes this continuum, which regards both constitutional bisexuality and femaleness (femelléité, a concept by Colette Chiland), as a new criterion to legitimate the feminine homosexuality.
