A mulher que devora: reflexões sobre o silenciamento e a fala a partir do filme Swallow

Abstract

This article is the result of the conclusion of the Specialization Course in Gender Studies at UFSM and, considering that the objective of the specialization is to instrumentalize professionals in their practices along a specific theme, we are guided by this to build this narrative. The objective here is to use a filmic device to think about gender issues in conjunction with the clinical practice of psychoanalysis. Therefore, the text that follows will start from an experiential perspective. Thus, sewing the narrative of the film with clinical practice and the theoretical argumentation of gender studies and psychoanalysis, we will bring some initial approaches and approaches about the suffering of a woman and the potentialities of leaving this place of suffering. It is from the act of speaking and telling the story itself that it becomes possible to achieve the condition of a subject who lives, performs and is in accordance with his desires.
