âMany of todayâs leading Lacaniansâpracticing psychoanalysts as well as cultural theoristsâhere puzzle out the new riddles of sexuality. Does Lacanâs concept of âsexuationâ really answer to feminist and queer discourses on sex and gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, performativity? These provocative essays will begin the debate.ââJohn Brenkman, author of <i>Straight Male Modern: A Cultural Critique of Psychoanalysis</i>
âSex or gender? This false alternative, which has long befuddled the theorization of femininity and sexual difference, is exploded by this excellent collection. Relying on Lacan's eventful revision of Freud, the essays analyze various aspects and implications of the a-biological, a-constructivist process of "sexuation" by which the subject emerges, embodied and sexed, from its encounter with the Other. A bonfire of a book whose strong, often brilliant analyses generate a heat sufficient to warm a multitutude of feminist and political debates.ââJoan Copjec, University at Buffalo, State University of New York
