Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini, "Gender Without Identity" (Unconscious in Translation, 2023)
In this episode, JJ Mull discusses\xa0Gender Without Identity\xa0(Unconscious in Translation, 2023)\xa0with co-authors Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini. Weaving together a variety of influences -- ranging from the metapsychology of Jean Laplanche to trans of color critique and queer theory --\xa0Gender Without Identity\xa0formulates a theory of gender formation adequate to the radical complexity of trans and queer subjects. Pushing up against static notions of \u201ccore gender identity,\u201d Saketopoulou and Pellegrini argue for the ethical urgency of recognizing that gender emerges from complex processes of \u201cself-theorization.\u201d This brave new work invites radical new ways for working with gender diversity psychoanalytically.\nJ.J. Mull is a poet, training clinician, and fellow in the Program for Psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance. Originally from the west coast, he currently lives and bikes in Somerville, MA.
