Zusammenfassung:This paper offers a critique to the conceptual contributions to what the psychoanalytic theory posits as explanation for the formation of the homosexual masculinity. The Oedipus Complex will be used as a central concept to take as reference in order to unconceal its misogynistic operation, not only for the placement of mothers in object positions by the psychoanalytical rhetoric, but for constructing a hate-generating device towards the feminine. For such elucidation, contributions of feminist approach thought are presented as key resources to reveal the political and socio-historic aspects that underlay the universal pretension of psychoanalytic explanations. In the same vein, non-psychoanalytical frames that picture the relationship between the homosexual and his mother with other non-misogynistic senses are explored. Finally, as an ethical-political imperative, the figure of the Marica is proposed as an alternative narrative that short-circuits the senses and words that serve in the Oedipus to articulate/joint contemporary sexual identities.
