Feminine Melancholia in the Origins of Maternity
Brun, Danièle
Feminine Melancholia in the Origins of Maternity - 2015.
47
Reading a letter written by Freud to Stefan Zweig in 1932 leads me to discover another way of being a mother, which I call: Capital Mothers. This involves a production of the unconscious that has its origins in the young girl’s early relationships with her mother. It manifests itself in day-to-day life as a melancholic state which brings to conscious attention a gap between the representation of the child in the flesh, the real child, and that of the child produced as fantasy since early infancy—an anatomo-psychic entanglement typical of femininity as explored by Freud in the ’30s.
