Resumo: The Freudian theory of femininity is the object of several studies. We intend to make a contribution to this debate, but instead of approaching the Freudian texts in which woman appears explicitly, we aimed to read a specific Freudian text in which she appears not, although she should do so. It is the 1932 text Zur Gewinnung des Feuers, in which the father of psychoanalysis interprets the myth of Prometheus. The fact is that, in Hesiod, the figure of the first woman (Pandora) is central, and one cannot comprehend the myth in its totality without her. In Freud’s version, Pandora does not exist - she is not taken in consideration and is not even mentioned. Therefore, instead of the myth of Prometheus and Pandora, we have in Freud the myth of Prometheus - and that does not come without consequences. Thus, Freud’s masculine writing would lie not only where he expatiates on women, but also where she does not even appear.

Tencionamos trazer uma contribuição a esse debate, mas, em vez de abordarmos os textos em que a mulher aparece explicitamente sob a pena freudiana, cuidamos de ler um texto específico de Freud em que ela não aparece, mas deveria aparecer. Trata-se do texto Zur Gewinnung des Feuers, de 1932, em que o pai da psicanálise interpreta o mito de Prometeu. O fato é que, em Hesíodo, a figura da primeira mulher (Pandora) é central, e sem ela o mito não pode ser compreendido em sua inteireza. Na versão de Freud, Pandora inexiste - ela não entra em consideração e não é sequer mencionada. Por isso, em vez do mito de Prometeu e Pandora, temos em Freud o mito de Prometeu - e isso não é sem consequências. Assim, a escrita masculina de Freud jazeria não somente ali onde ele discorre sobre a mulher, mas também onde ela sequer aparece.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2022-06-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/4798010.14195/1984-249X_32_23Revista Archai; No. 32 (2022): Archai 32 (2022); e03223Archai Journal; n. 32 (2022): Archai 32 (2022); e032231984-249X2179-4960reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/47980/36702Copyright (c) 2022 Pedro Fernandez de Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFernandez de Souza, Pedro2023-04-18T15:51:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/47980Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2023-04-18T15:51:27Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
