Resumo
This work investigates the constitution of the subject and masculinity in contemporaneity
and under what insignia it has been structured. It is also interested in elucidating how their
relationships of love and jouissance currently operate. The research starts with a literature
review of psychoanalytic theory, in dialogue with historical, cultural and political aspects,
as a basis for understanding current phenomena. It is from the first experiences of
identification with the other that humanization takes place; the subject is caused by the
desire of the Other, in an operation of alienation and separation. The child must identify
with the parental images in order to get away from them, so masculinity is constituted by
identification with the father, as a virile semblance transmitted through language.
Masculinity is an effect of discourse, and its references can be located historically. In this
sense, the semblances of masculinity today were constructed in modern Western history,
which articulated masculinity and virility. The result is nostalgia for a lost manly-animal
condition, disseminated as an ideal, but which is not in line with human experience.
Therefore, this masculinity has always had crisis and failure as a mark of its constitution.
There has been a historical construction of an imperative of violent enjoyment articulated
to masculinity, which externalizes death drives and represses passive drives as a defense
against castration. The male way of loving is fixed on anaclitic fantasies, objectification
and domination of women as narcissistic satisfaction. Faced with love's incompleteness,
it is possible for men to turn to the phallus in search of a second woman. Such references
can act as a restriction on the desiring condition, leading him and others to suffer. It is in
the hole in the male discourse that unique paths can be found.
