O objectivo deste estudo é o de compreender o impacto da ausência da figura paterna
ao nível dos processos identitários em jovens Cabo-verdianos procurando, desta forma,
integrar este estudo numa lógica Etnopsicanalítica.
Os participantes do presente estudo são dois jovens Cabo-verdianos, um rapaz e uma
rapariga, com 14 e 20 anos de idade, respectivamente. Ambos os jovens cresceram com uma
figura paterna ausente.
O instrumento utilizado foi a Entrevista Narrativa em Associação Livre, através da
qual resultaram duas narrativas (uma de cada participante) que foram analisadas, numa
primeira fase, individualmente e, num segundo momento, em conjunto, numa análise
realizada no seguimento das elaborações destacadas no discurso dos participantes.
Os resultados evidenciaram que a ausência da figura paterna, bem como a inscrição
dos participantes numa cultura específica – Cabo-verdiana – na qual a figura paterna é,
recorrentemente, uma figura ausente se demonstram impactantes ao nível da representação
que os participantes elaboram tanto do feminino como do masculino e, consequentemente, ao
nível da sua construção de identidade com base na identificação a essas mesmas
representações.
Os estudos relativos ao impacto da ausência da figura paterna ao nível do
desenvolvimento do sujeito têm por base uma observação clínica e, simultaneamente, não
existem estudos Etnopsicanalíticos relativos ao papel da figura paterna na cultura Caboverdiana.
Assim, o presente estudo contribui com desenvolvimentos sobre o tema num
contexto não-clínico e promove uma integração do tema numa lógica Etnopsicanalítica.
ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study is to understand how an absent father figure has impact on the identity processes of young Cape Verdeans by looking at the study in a Ethnopsycanalytical point of view. The participants of this study are two young Cape Verdeans, a boy and a girl, with fourteen and twenty years respectively, which lived with an absent father figure. To carry out the analysis we used the Free Association Narrative Interview with which we obtained two narratives (one from each participant). Initially the narratives were analyzed separately and on a more advanced phase were analyzed together following a prior analysis of the narratives of both participants where the most important information was highlighted. After the analysis, and taking into consideration the absence of a father figure as well as the fact that this two participants are from a specific culture - Cape Verdean - in which the father figure is recurrently an absent one, we noticed an impact on the representation of both the male and the female representation and consequently on the process of identity creation based on those representations. The studies related with the impact of an absent father figure on the development of the subject are done based on clinical psychology observation, and at the time of elaborating this study, no Ethnopsychanalytical studies were found related with the absence of a father figure in the Cape Verdean culture. Therefore, this study contributes with developments on this subject in a non-clinical context and promotes the interconnection with Ethnopsychanalysis.
