ABSTRACT:
This article addressed the narrative modifications that occurred in the realm of civilized sexual morality and its intersections with race and colonial history, as well as their impacts on the production of subjectivities. We refer to “narratives” as the ways in which some readings and interpretations of the subject’s relationships with their own body and with the Other are made present - often unconsciously - in the social bond. Viewing psychoanalysis as a practice, a theory, and an investigative method of psychic subjectivity, the goal was to investigate the place and function of such narratives, their fictional structure, and their real effects on the subject’s relationship with themselves and their social world.
