The ontological concept of «desire» has been elaborated by phallogocentric dualism through the ideas of lack, privation, matter, fall, prohibition or guilt, in order to eradicate the active and creative energy from the living body, and refer it to the inaccessible transcendence of the pure spirit. Insofar as the feminine has been inscribed by the hegemonic phallogocentrism on the side of lack, passivity, matter and evil, the ontological emptying of desire coincides with the elimination of maternal body and the patriarchal dominance. In this context, the present article aims to restore desire to its power in maternal-material mediation.
