What Can We Know About Sex?

A Lacanian Study of Sex and Gender

Beschreibung

What Can We Know About Sex? explains how Lacan's work allows us to make new links between the sexual laws of discourse, gender and what Freud called the "biological rock" in human life, allowing a new perspective not only on the history of the sexual couple but on contemporary developments of sexuality in the twenty-first century.

Rezensionen

"A fundamental step forward in the evolution of Gisèle Chaboudez's reflection on sex and gender, What Can We Know About Sex? is an impeccable and thorough analysis of one of the most hotly debated issues today. It corrects many misunderstandings, and is precise, explicative and novel. Chaboudez provides a rigorous reading of Lacan's work, following his articulations step by step, and demonstrating how, for psychoanalysis, there cannot be any sexual norm. Her reflection on Lacan's notion of the feminine enhances the radically new perspective and the subversion inherent in an idea that is not yet fully appreciated in its individual and social consequences." - Dr Paola Mieli, President, Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association, New York
