Rooted in the metapsychology of Jean Laplanche and in conversation with bold work in queer and trans studies, Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini jettison \"core gender identity\" to propose, instead, that gender is something all subjects \u003cem\u003eacquire \u003c\/em\u003e--\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eand that trauma sometimes has a share in that acquisition. Conceptualizing trauma alongside diverse genders and sexualities is thus not about invalidating transness and queerness, but about illuminating their textures to enable their flourishing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for readers both in and outside psychoanalysis, \u003cem\u003eGender Without Identity \u003c\/em\u003eargues for the ethical urgency of recognizing that wounding experiences and traumatic legacies may be \u003cem\u003espun into gender. \u003c\/em\u003eSuch \"spinning\" involves self-theorizations that do not proceed from a centered self, but are nevertheless critical to psychic autonomy. Saketopoulou and Pellegrini draw on these ideas to offer clinical resources for working with gender complexity and for complexifying (what is seen as) gender normativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avgi Saketopoulou, Ann Pellegrini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942254199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942254195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unconscious in Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Avgi Saketopoulou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321682227455,"sku":"9781942254195","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e3918d3-332c-4072-ab00-dd1b8c5ee5b2.jpg?v=1696332142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-without-identity-avgi-saketopoulou-9781942254195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
