Abstract

RESUMEN: Jacques Lacan introduce en su seminario XX Aún una distinción entre dos tipos de goce [jouissance]: un goce fálico o sexual propiamente masculino, y en el caso de la posición femenina, y complementario del anterior, un goce Otro o goce del cuerpo absolutamente particular de cada mujer. Deleuze y Guattari piensan la feminidad en Mil mesetas como un devenir-mujer consistente en la construcción de un "cuerpo sin órganos" singular y propio más allá del organismo que resulta de disciplinar familiar y socialmente este cuerpo. Este estudio pretende demostrar la convergencia de ambas propuestas al pensar la feminidad como una vivencia singular del propio cuerpo. ABSTRACT: Jacques Lacan distinguishes in his seminar XX Still 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 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.
