Cuerpo y feminidad: “Goce otro” de Jacques Lacan y “devenir-mujer” en Deleuze y Guattari

Abstract

Jacques Lacan distinguishes in his seminar XX Still (1972/1973) between two types of jouissance: a phallic and male sexual jouissance, and in the case of the women, an absolutely particular Other jouissance of the body of each subject. Deleuze and Guattari think femininity in A Thousand Plateaus (1980) as a becoming-woman involving the construction of a “body without organs” unique and singular beyond the familiarly and socially disciplined body. This study aims to demonstrate the fundamental coincidence of both proposals when thinking femininity as a particular experience of the own body.
