Manhês: compondo a formação do eu segundo a psicanálise

Abstract

Across centuries, scholars that tried to comprehend how the formation of the self were lead to observe the primary relations of the individual, with an emphasis on the relationship between the mother and the baby, establishing that the configuration of the relationship between mom and baby and it’s fundamental for the subjectivity, and that it is intersected by language. Based on academics such as Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Melanie Klein and Donald W. Winnicott, among others, we seek to identify that relation while talking about mother-baby relation, basing it on the concept of motherese, a language utilized for the communication with children. The main objective of this work is to show the function of Motherese in the mother-baby relation. More specifically, contextualize and present in its conjecture the symbolic dimension articulated, that holds an important place in the formation of the Self of the baby. In the analysis of the contents in the selected literature, it was noticed that the symbolic dimension of Moherese was something of recurring appearance in those that described such phenomeno. Motherese holds an important place in the split of the baby’s Self to that of their mother, the Other. That is linked to the symbolism of the formation of one own subjective Self, that in this case is the resolution of a prosody - one that in this context is characterized as a object of Oral drive - present in the maternal voice when that is directed towards the baby. This analysis allowed reflection on the importance of the Motherese in supporting the symbolic appetite of the baby, which in turn is linked to the articulated junction of the symbolic dimension of the formation of the Self and recognition of the Other, this an important step in the formation off individual subjectivity.
