- Book Synopsis
- Queer Psychoanalysis offers a detailed study of the tensions and contiguities between the field of queer theory and that of Freudian-Lacanian metapsychology.Drawing on a detailed reading of the critiques that have been levelled against psychoanalysis by queer theorists, this book makes use of, and reinvigorates, a certain ethics. Fabrice Bourlez offers a perspective from which these two domains, rather than being opposed one to the other, can be thought of as being in dialogue. The book considers the work of both queer theorists and psychoanalytic thinkers and confronts the numerous homophobic stances that punctuate the history of psychanalysis. Bourlez formulates a manner of thinking that frees psychoanalysis from its preconceptions and unthought, while avoiding the entrapment of queer theory in a self-righteous utopian ideal. In so doing, this book conceptualizes a vision of psychanalysis that is better able to attend to the full spectrum of contemporary subjects.Queer Psychoanalysis will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and for scholars of psychoanalytic studies, sexuality, gender studies, psychology, cultural studies, aesthetic studies, and queer theory.
