SUMMARY:Patricia Gherovici\, PhD\, The And/Or of Gender – a Psychoanalytic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The Colloquium Series of 2024-2025\nPsychoanalytic Synthesis and Innovation in Times of Upheaval\npresented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nOPENING EVENT\nPATRICIA GHEROVICI\, PhD\nThe And/Or of Gender – a Psychoanalytic Perspective\nModerated by TOM HENNES\nFRIDAY EVENING\, SEPTEMBER 20th\, 7:30-9:30pm\nPresented in person\, on location at the Institute\n20 West 74th Street (between Central Park West & Columbus Avenue)\nSeating for this and all Colloquium events are on a first come\, first serve basis.\nDoors will open for this event at 7:00PM.\n\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nIn 1928\, Virginia Woolf wrote Orlando\, a novel in which the protagonist changes sex in the middle of the story. A century later\, writer and activist Paul B. Preciado sends a filmed letter to Virginia Woolf in Orlando\, My Political Biography (2023). Following the premise that the body is not a fixed entity but entails a process of embodiment\, a becoming-body\, this lecture takes as point of departure Preciado’s recent docu-fiction to explore how those analysands who exist beyond the so-called traditional gender norms as well as those who consider themselves non-binary or outside heterosexuality are helping us rethink gender. Thinking gender outside of the either/or of traditional binary opposition\, one subverts the fixity of identitarian claims while reorienting psychoanalytic practice.\n1.5 CE Credits are offered for this presentation. Attendees must sign the attendance sheet at the event in order to qualify for CE credit.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nPatricia Gherovici\, PhD\, is a psychoanalyst\, analytic supervisor\, and recipient of the 2020 Sigourney Award for her clinical and scholarly work with Latinx and gender variant communities.​ She is a trustee at Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics.\nHer single-authored books include The Puerto Rican Syndrome (Gradiva Award and Boyer Prize)\, Please Select Your Gender: From the Invention of Hysteria to the Democratizing of Transgenderism\, and Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference.
