RESUMEN
Modern medicine is confronted with cultural crossings in various forms. In facing these challenges, it is not enough to simply increase our insight into the cultural dimensions of health and well-being. We must, more radically, question the conventional distinction between the 'objectivity of science' and the 'subjectivity of culture'. This obligation creates an urgent call for the medical humanities but also for a fundamental rethinking of their grounding assumptions.Julia Kristeva (JK) has problematised the biomedical concept of health through her reading of the anthropogony of Cura (Care), who according to the Roman myth created man out of a piece of clay. JK uses this fable as an allegory for the cultural distinction between health construed as a 'definitive state', which belongs to biological life (bios), and healing as a durative 'process with twists and turns in time' that characterises human living (zoe). A consequence of this demarcation is that biomedicine is in constant need of 'repairing' and bridging the gap between bios and zoe, nature and culture. Even in radical versions, the medical humanities are mostly reduced to such an instrument of repairment, seeing them as what we refer to as a soft, 'subjective' and cultural supplement to a stable body of 'objective', biomedical and scientific knowledge. In this article, we present a prolegomenon to a more radical programme for the medical humanities, which calls the conventional distinctions between the humanities and the natural sciences into question, acknowledges the pathological and healing powers of culture, and sees the body as a complex biocultural fact. A key element in such a project is the rethinking of the concept of 'evidence' in healthcare.

Neste texto, a autora reconhece, na atualidade, uma mutação antropológica que faz das mulheres uma força emergente, e procura responder se a psicanálise pode e deve se fazer ouvir nessa nova fase do mal-estar na civilização. Considerando que o feminino tem sido rejeitado na esfera de interesse da ética, a autora observa que a psicanálise rompe com essa exclusão. A partir da ideia de Simone de Beauvoir de que "não se nasce mulher, torna-se mulher", e por meio da escuta clínica, são apresentadas algumas etapas do porvir do feminino.
In this article the author acknowledges, at present times, an anthropological mutation that makes women an emerging force. She aims at answering if psychoanalysis can and must be heard in this phase of civilization, when much social unrest is present. Considering the feminine has been rejected under the ethics perspective, the author acknowledges that psychoanalysis breaks this exclusion. From Simone de Beauvoir's concept that "one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman", and through clinical listening, the author presents some phases on the future of the feminine.

A autora propõe pensar um erotismo materno específico que chama de religância. Nem recalcamento, nem sublimação, mas discutido em termos do significante enigmático original, a religância torna o estabelecimento das pulsões de vida e de morte problemático e acessível. A representação da religância mobiliza religiões. No mundo moderno, a religância parece ser um assunto relacionado à ética.(AU)
The author suggests thinking about a specific maternal erotism that she terms reliance. Neither repression, nor sublimation, but to be considered in the light of enigmatic primal repression, reliance makes the establishment of both the life drive and the death drive problematic and accessible. The representation of reliance mobilises religions. In the modern world, reliance appears as a reserve of ethics.(AU)

La autora destaca el gesto con el que Melanie Klein desafía el conformismo de los freudianos y, sin temer al riesgo de la infidelidad a la ortodoxia psicoanalítica de su época, inscribe una verdadera ruptura en la exploración del Edipo, el fantasma, el lenguaje y el prelenguaje. Dice que Klein desciende hasta el lugar sin lengua de la infancia inhibida, psicótica y autirta y, como jefa de escuela, habla, sistematiza y guía a su clan
