The paternal function in new family organizations: homoparentality and monoparentality

ilustraciones, tablas El presente trabajo ha buscado indagar por la función paterna en las nuevas organizaciones familiares que se han establecido ante todo en la época contemporánea, a saber, las formaciones familiares monoparentales y homoparentales. Se busca dilucidar aquello que se sostiene y lo que cambia en esas transformaciones o arreglos familiares contemporáneos. Para este propósito se hace un recorrido inicial por el padre y su caída y por el complejo de Edipo en la cultura, en los mitos y en algunas religiones, para luego analizar aspectos fundamentales de la teoría psicoanalítica relacionados con la estructuración del sujeto y vinculados principalmente al Complejo de Edipo propuesto por Sigmund Freud y a elaboraciones respectivas de Jacques Lacan. De este último autor se retoma su teorización acerca del significante Nombre-del-Padre y de la Metáfora paterna sustitutiva del deseo materno; también se introducen elementos de las fórmulas de la sexuación tendiente a situar aspectos de lo masculino y de lo femenino involucrados. Se sitúan además elaboraciones que hicieran Freud y Lacan sobre la familia, los complejos, los relacionamientos con el Otro.
