Project description
Psychoanalysis to challenge norms in LGBTIQ+ communities
In the early 1970s, radical LGBTIQ+ movements in France began critiquing the established norms of psychoanalysis, which had long shaped public perceptions of gender and sexuality. Today, as transphobic ideologies gain traction among leading French psychoanalysts, urgent questions arise about the historical stigmatisation of LGBTIQ+ communities in Europe. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the QueerPsych project seeks to unravel the complex relationship between psychoanalysis, queer thought, and LGBTIQ+ politics. Through innovative qualitative methodologies, it aims to offer inclusive alternatives and foster understanding in both academic and public spheres. Overall, the project aspires to bridge divides and illuminate paths toward acceptance and equality.
Objective
Since their inception in the early 1970s, radical LGBTIQ movements and scholarship in France have developed a multi-faceted critique of normative psychoanalysis and its role in shaping public debates about gender and sexuality. Today, in light of rampant transphobic ideologies endorsed by leading French psychoanalysts, this research project responds to an urgent need to better understand the historical role of psychoanalysis in the pathologisation of LGBTIQ communities in Europe while shedding light on new approaches that embrace gender and sexual diversity.
Through innovative qualitative methodologies, QueerPsych will critically examine the historical relationship between psychoanalysis, queer thought and LGBTIQ politics. Focusing on the French context, it will offer the first comprehensive study of the queer critique of psychoanalysis, bridging existing scholarship on the politics of kinship, the reception of American queer theory in Europe and queer psychoanalytic theory. By doing so, the project will offer a new comparative framework while introducing previously-untranslated French materials to Anglophone scholarship.
Under the supervision of leading Gender Studies and Intellectual History scholars Eric Fassin (Universit Paris 8) and Emily Apter (New York University), this project will benefit from the dual locations of its hosts to develop a comparative approach that bridges American queer theory and French intellectual history. Thanks to this Fellowship, I will acquire new methodological skills and teaching qualifications while disseminating research findings in both American and European contexts. The projects publication plan includes four peer-reviewed articles, a monograph and various conference papers. Beyond academia, it will engage with international LGBTIQ communities, archivists, policy makers, clinical practitioners and the general public.
