In this work, we seek to present the discussion about the “decline of the paternal function” as well as to show the main elements in which this idea is anchored, bringing as a counterpoint Lacan's structural reading of the Oedipus complex and parental functions, allowing us to show that the father, when taken as a function, did not lose its operability, as well as denaturalize the family and the function of its parental agents. To do so, we will begin our trajectory, bringing some reading movements carried out by one of its main representatives: Charles Melman and his book “O Homem sem Gravidade – Gozar a qualquer preço”, bringing to the discussion some of its clinical effects that, in a way In general, in addition to carrying a moralistic tone, they point to a theoretical confusion between historical and structural elements. Later, we will return to Lacan (1938/2003) in his text on "The family complexes in the formation of the individual", showing how the psychoanalyst is influenced by the thought of Durkheim and Malinovsky, leading him to propose his hypothesis about the "social decline of the imago paternal” and his sociological reading of the Oedipus complex, on which the defenders of the decline of the paternal function rely to support their argument. In opposition to this idea, we will present the notion of structural Oedipus and paternal function, showing that in his return movement to Freud and under the strong influence of Lévi Strauss's structuralism, Lacan abandons the social conditions of oedipalism, making the family kinship relations and the paternal imago gave way to the paternal function. Finally, we will briefly discuss the transformations of the family, articulating this with developments on the structural Oedipus Complex and the symbolic function of the father, allowing the denaturalization of the family and its parental agents
