Abstract

Marie-Nöelle Breucker, The temporality of femininity : a paradoxical representation. When dealing with the articulation between temporality and femininity, the question of the origin of temporality arises, which contains a part of inescapable violence in the process of integrating the "infans". The conflictual nature of conscious, preconscious and unconscious representations of time attest to the paradoxical nature of its experience. But is there a temporal paradox of femininity ? This could be considered from two perspectives: the femininity of bisexuality and psychofemininity. Puberty gives us an example of the confrontation of cyclical time and the necessary inscription within the arrow of time. This specificity of femininity can be found as an evocation in fairytales and as a repetition in the transference that occurs during psychoanalytic treatment. This is how the inescapableness of the féminin superego and masochism, the immoderateness of narcisism and the unbearableness of anxiety and castration can be seen. Key-words : Temporality, Femininity, Representation, Psychoanalytic treatment, Fairy tale.
