Abstract

Lacanian psychoanalysis, based on (hetero)patriarchal ideology, claims that the Hamletian logic of being and having the phallus is what structures the dichotomy of the two sexes, reserving the second term of the dialectic to woman, who remains sheltered by the figure of man. Conversely, from the contra-sexual strategies of the lesbian phallus, Butler and Preciado charge against the symbolic dimension of a hegemonic discourse and recover the bodies (and desires), which are delegitimized by capitalist morality, against the Hamletian logic of the Lacanian phallus.
