Descripción del proyecto
Psicoanálisis para cuestionar las normas en las comunidades LGBTIQ+
A principios de los años setenta del siglo pasado, los movimientos radicales LGBTIQ+ de Francia empezaron a criticar las normas establecidas del psicoanálisis, que durante mucho tiempo habían conformado la percepción pública del género y la sexualidad. En la actualidad, a medida que las ideologías transfóbicas ganan terreno entre los principales psicoanalistas franceses, surgen preguntas urgentes sobre la estigmatización histórica de las comunidades LGBTIQ+ en Europa. Con el apoyo de las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, el equipo del proyecto QueerPsych pretende desentrañar la compleja relación entre el psicoanálisis, el pensamiento «queer» y la política LGBTIQ+. A través de metodologías cualitativas innovadoras, pretende ofrecer alternativas integradoras y fomentar el entendimiento tanto en el ámbito académico como en el público. En general, el equipo del proyecto aspira a tender puentes e iluminar caminos hacia la aceptación y la igualdad.
Objetivo
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 (Université 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 project’s 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.
