Abstract

Freud used several times literature to explore, through the fictional universe, his analysis concerning mental disorders such as, neuroses, paranoias, psychoses and perversions. On the other hand, literature also employed the discoveries of psychoanalysis to enhance in fiction the disintegration of the modern subject. Simone de Beauvoir was one of the most active voices in post-modernity, especially regarding the manner by which female subjectivity is constructed and fragmented in the patriarchal societies by the discourse of the Other. Thus, this paper aims to present how the work of Simone de Beauvoir, La Femme Rompue (1967), depicts the displacement of the subject from a feminist and psychoanalytic perspective.
