This course is premised on the idea that queer theory and psychoanalytic theory bear many convergences and enrich one another; and that an intersectional approach must be fundamental to both fields. Our aim will be to elucidate the confluences and divergences of queer studies and psychoanalytic practice, and to think clinically and theoretically about the following topics: childhood and temporality, queer of color critique, transgender and nonbinary, psychosexuality, queer negativity, and non-normative psychoanalysis. We will read queer theorists within applied and clinical psychoanalysis who have made rigorous attempts at an integration, bringing our own clinical material: Tim Dean, Eve Watson, Avgi Saketopoulou, David Eng, Griffin Hansbury, Patricia Gherovici, Paul Preciado, Sheldon George, and others.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will become acquainted with the seminal texts of queer theory and learn to recognize their debts to psychoanalytic theory and practice.
2. Participants will gain an understanding of the psychoanalytic literature that has integrated queer theoretical perspectives.
3. Participants will develop ways of utilizing intersectional queer theory in their clinical work.
