“Where It Was, There I Must Come to Be:” A Psychoanalytic Take on Gender Today - Hannah Wallerstein, PhD (Recorded)

In the last two decades gender has exploded as a concept—new gender identifications have proliferated, as have new forms of embodiment and possible technological interventions. This rapid change demands new ways of thinking both in and out of the consulting room. How do we understand something that can be at once fluid and yet powerfully fixed, socially inscribed and yet profoundly personal? This two-part lecture will attempt to grapple with these questions, first charting the history of the term gender in order to situate our investigation, and then outlining a theoretical framework for engaging the term’s complexity.  Using the work of Freud, Winnicott, and Loewald, the second lecture will propose to think of gender as a representational form linked to subjective authorization.  It will elaborate implications for thinking about gender variance and transgender phenomena.
