Introdução: Estudos relacionados com o género são cada vez mais centrais no mundo contemporâneo. Com a emancipação da mulher e aumento da literatura feminista existem cada vez mais estudos sobre a feminilidade, no sentido de se encontrar respostas para as mais variadas questões, como, por exemplo: é um construto biológico ou cultural? Como se desenvolve? Quais as principais ansiedades e conflitos? O que a diferencia do masculino? Qual o papel da família na construção da identidade feminina? Esta identidade deve ser compreendida consoante o contexto cultural? Na revisão de literatura apresentamos de forma sucinta algumas conceptualizações sobre o tema. Objectivo: Este estudo visa analisar a representação do feminino em mulheres angolanas, de três gerações diferentes, da mesma família. Método: A entrevista e respectiva análise baseiam-se no Método Qualitativo FANI de Hollway e Jefferson (2000). Participantes: A amostra é constituída por três mulheres angolanas, residentes em Luanda, Angola, com idades superiores a 30 anos, de três gerações diferentes, da mesma família. Conclusões: Confirma-se a controvérsia que existe dentro da psicanálise relativamente à génese e à definição do feminino. A maternidade constitui a essência do feminino para as participantes mais velhas. A mulher é valorizada pela sua personalidade, que compreende características positivas e direccionadas para o mundo objectal, e pela sua inteligência. Existe uma articulação entre o contexto cultural e politico do país com o mundo interior das participantes. Verifica-se uma tendência para a desconstrução do género.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Gender-related studies are increasingly focal in the contemporary world. With the emancipation of women and the increase of feminist literature, there are an increasing amount of studies related to femininity in pursuit of answers to the wide array of questions such as: is it a biological or cultural construct? How does it develop? What are the main anxieties and conflicts? What are the differentiators from masculine? What is the role of the family in the construction of feminine identity? Should be understood according to the cultural context? In the review of the literature, we briefly present some conceptualizations about this subject. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the representation of the feminine in Angolan women, from three different generations in the same family. Method: The interview and its analysis are based on the FANI Qualitative Method of Hollway and Jefferson (2000). Participants: The subjects are constituted by three Angolan women living in Luanda, Angola, aged over 30 years, from three different generations in the same family. Conclusions: The controversy that exists within psychoanalysis regarding the genesis and definition of the feminine is confirmed. Motherhood is the essence of the feminine for older participants. The woman is valued for her personality, which comprises positive characteristics and a self-object world, and for her intelligence. There is a link between the cultural and political context of the country and the inner world of the participants. There is a trend towards the deconstruction of gender.
