The feminine: a po-ethics

Abstract

This article seeks to explain the subject experience of feminine, as an instance of which arises both, the ethical act and the creative act. The article makes the differentiation between the individual and the significant’s subject and to place the being’s enjoyment otherness with regard to the language’s order.

This language in Lacan’s theory constitutes a “great Other” as the place of all significants, the Other of culture, so the subject can not avoid to look it for establishing his own knowledge. However, the significant don’t may represents the subject’s being neither represents by himself, while the significance implies a chain or at least two significants, and only the subject can articulate the significant with the meaning.

Therefore, the subject is not limited to this chain, he also has a body that enjoys, an being’s enjoyment which the language can not say and that is an ineffable real reference. The ethical decision arises from there as an experience of feminine in a subject, as an act not supported by the Other, apart from any previous order.

The feminine, as an instance from which arises ethics and sublimation, renews the social order, resists to standardization, to homogenization and constitutes the otherness, the singular being, like the new contribution of each one to the world.
