The Wounds of the Masculine

Abstract

Starting with some seemingly contradictory contemporary phenomena, the author makes an examination of the “masculine” in psychoanalysis, focusing on the phallic economy and the regime to which it corresponds. The crisis of patriarchy and the paternal function has compromised the “masculine identity,” which, as a reaction, amplifies and/or reintroduces long-standing and equally execrable modalities that are always waiting to be triggered. This rebound compromises the search for and construction of a new masculine, more able to relate to its “feminine” counterpart and summoned in every discourse.
