Being a woman in exile and putting the notion of “not-all” to the test
Picquet, Audrey
Being a woman in exile and putting the notion of “not-all” to the test - 2018.
96
The author draws on psychoanalysis-oriented clinical publications and shows how psychic exile within geographic exile reveals a link with the notion of “not all”: being both feminine and being a woman. The effects of both psychic exile and feminine enigmas for women faced with a situation of geographic exile are questioned here. Two paths present an alternative for the subject: creativity or havoc. When there is a closure to otherness, this leads to the subject’s desertion. Conversely, if strangeness is not considered as a danger, this can lead to creativity.
