Maternidad y sublimación: Una lectura psicoanalítica de la maternidad tardía

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to interrogate the phenomenon of delayed maternity from the psychoanalytical perspective. We base our study on two notions: the issue of time, related to the way the feminine body works; and the notion of creation, related to human procreation. Time and creation are two fundamental elements regarding the psychoanalytical concept of sublimation. They both constitute a singular way to approach femininity and particularly maternity as one of its destinies. © 2013 by Revista Estudos Feministas.
