The research critically examines the interplay between psychoanalytic concepts of masculinity and femininity and contemporary social theories on gender. It explores Freud's view of sexual differentiation as integral to subject formation within the symbolic realm, contrasting it with social theorists who argue that the body serves as a text for gender interpretation. Through a reinterpretation of existing literature, the study seeks to bridge and differentiate psychoanalysis from gender theories, offering a nuanced perspective on drive satisfaction and socialization.
