Download or read book Sexual Difference in Debate written by Leticia Glocer Fiorini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greater part of this book focuses on a critical analysis of the logics and ways of thinking supporting both explicit and implicit theories of sexual difference and the masculine/feminine pair. These theories may be private or collective; conscious, preconscious, or unconscious. They impact heavily on interpretations and constructions made in analytic practice, while they also affect transference-countertransference patterns. This conceptual analysis reviews the Freudian oeuvre as well as the work of other significant authors, post-Freudian and contemporary, that have contributed specifically to this topic. The concept of sexual difference contains a persistent problem: binary, dichotomous thinking and its blind spots and aporias. For this reason, the author has turned to other epistemologies that offer novel forms to think about the same problems, such as the paradigm of hyper-complexity, as well as thinking at intersections and limits between different categories.

This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a regional, intersectional, and transnational perspective of psychoanalysis in Latin America and the Caribbean that illuminates psychoanalysis's role as social and political discourse through a collection of original interventions in the fields of psychoanalysis, cultural studies, psychology, anthropology, health sciences, history, and philosophy.

Firstly, the book offers a regional overview of psychoanalysis as a discourse that reflects on the imbrication between the psychic and the sociopolitical. Secondly, it showcases intersectional perspectives that illuminate psychoanalysis's potentials and limitations in addressing contemporary problematics around race, gender, sexuality, and class. Finally, the book attests to the area's role in advancing psychoanalysis as a transnational discipline. By providing both a balanced regional overview and an interdisciplinary perspective, the volume will be essential for all psychoanalysts and scholars wanting to undersrand the place of psychoanalysis in Latin American and Caribbean discourse.

Download or read book The Desire and Passion for a Child written by Patricia Alkolombre and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Patricia Alkolombre explores the desire for a child from a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective, and covers the questions raised in the face of new resources offered by reproductive medicine. This volume reviews traditional psychoanalytic conceptualisations from the perspective of gender theories and analyses theoretical hegemonies related to the desire and passion for a child. Alkolombre discusses how the ‘passion to have a child’ is a key aspect of motherhood, characterised by emotional intensity, persistence, and self-sacrificial aspects. The book is divided into three sections: Part One deals with the desire and passion to have a child, while Part Two focuses on the impact of reproductive techniques, as well as the ever-changing role of parenthood in the modern day. Throughout these fascinating chapters, clinical vignettes of both individual and couple analyses span topics such as mourning, the use of reproductive technology, the anonymity of gamete donors, enigmatic infertility, surrogacy, and abortion from an interdisciplinary perspective. The historical and cultural contexts of infertility are reviewed from a psychoanalytic angle in Part Three with the view of transcending the former androcentric perspective that has deeply influenced the maternal ideal and expectations of men. Alkolombre also proposes a new analysis of the Oedipus myth. This book is vital reading for psychoanalysts, mental health professionals, teachers and students interested in contemporary parenting, motherhood, and infertility, as well as the theoretical analysis of the desire for a child.

Download or read book Para qu sirve el psicoan lisis written by Luis Chiozza and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freud comenta que, en un diálogo publicado en un semanario humorístico de Múnich, un hombre se quejaba del carácter de las mujeres, que las convierte en complicadas y difíciles, y que su interlocutor le responde: “Sí, pero es lo mejor que tenemos en ese tipo de cosas”. Freud utiliza el comentario para afirmar, a continuación, que, para formar psicoanalistas, lo mejor que tenemos son los médicos. Lo que el personaje del semanario decía de las mujeres podría también decirse de los hombres, y lo que Freud decía de los médicos podría decirse de muchas otras cosas. Si bien es cierto que el psicoanálisis es una empresa cuyas dificultadesexigen un insospechado esfuerzo, y que trascurre perturbada por inevitables momentos de malestar en el paciente y en su psicoanalista, es lo mejor que tenemos para lograr lo que con él intentamos. Pero ¿qué es lo que intentamos? ¿De qué tipo de cosas se ocupa el psicoanálisis? Podemos preguntarnos también: ¿para qué sirve el tratamiento psicoanalítico? Y ¿cómo podemos disminuir los disgustos que el proceso ocasiona? Estas dos últimas preguntas, que han merecido la atención del psicoanálisis desde sus mismos albores y que, dada su índole, han permanecido siempre abiertas hacia nuevas indagaciones, iniciaron el camino que condujo a escribir este libro.

Book excerpt: This book gathers together a number of cutting edge contributions about the female body, inside and out, from a large group of psychoanalysts who are at the forefront of new thinking about issues of femininity, the female body, sex and gender.

As a result this book covers aspects of female creativity in its many aspects, both productive and generative and where there are difficulties or impediments. The psychoanalysts writing for this book have made an enormous contribution in the past and this book therefore aims to stimulate, challenge and provoke further discussion and new advances in this field.

Download or read book Deconstructing the Feminine written by Leticia Glocer Fiorini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guiding thread of this theoretical review is the illumination of the impasses of binary thought and of the essentialist conceptions of women and the feminine. In this trajectory, the author's ongoing dialogue with Freud is connected with one aspect of his way of thinking: multicentred and complex. The text addresses questions relating to love, sexual desire, maternity, beauty and the passing of time and highlights current debates concerning women, the feminine, and sexual difference as well as some controversial topics that have been discussed throughout the history of the psychoanalytic movement. One of the most relevant subjects is the notion of 'feminine enigma' and the conceptions of the feminine as the negative of the masculine, which means going into the nature-nurture debate, as well as into considerations of the feminine seen as the other of the masculine. The author points out that the notion of 'feminine enigma' is a displacement of the enigmas inherent to the origins, to the finite time of life (the inevitability of death) and to sexual difference.

Download or read book Psicoan lisis y g nero en di logo written by Patricia Alkolombre and published by Letra Viva. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pregunta que Freud se hacía en 1933 –qué quieren las mujeres– estimuló que se contestara que la ideología patriarcal era el obstáculo para hallar fácilmente la respuesta: la mujer no quiere nada distinto de lo que quiere un hombre. Cuando, en realidad, la reivindicación de igualdad debe tener en cuenta justamente algo bien diferente, que es la ausencia y desconocimiento de la especificidad femenina, algo sobre lo que aún estamos trabajando. Emilce Dio Bleichmar [Asociación Psicoanalítica Argentina - IPA] Es necesario recordar que desde fines del siglo XIX, se está actualizando cada vez más una problemática que existe desde muy antiguo, pero que está en vías de deconstrucción: el lugar de las mujeres en la trama de lazos sociales. Tanto las prácticas como los discursos sociales y legalidades culturales se están transformando a este respecto y esto se acompaña inevitablemente de revisiones de su conceptualización teórica. La violencia de género así como las desigualdades sociales desafían los intentos de “naturalización” del lugar de las mujeres tanto desde las teorías como desde las experiencias cotidianas. Leticia Glocer Fiorini [Asociación Psicoanalítica Argentina - IPA] Existen sobradas evidencias acerca de lo mucho que se ha trabajado sobre la sexualidad y de lo poco que se le ha dedicado a la paternidad. El tema de la paternidad ha quedado relegado, empequeñecido, al lado del tema de la sexualidad a pesar de que es, justamente, en el nivel de la paternidad donde se han dado, en las últimas décadas, los cambios más vertiginosos a partir de las innovaciones en la distribución y atribución de obligaciones y derechos determinados por las diferencias sexuales.

Download or read book Motherhood in the Twenty First Century written by Mariam Alizade and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers in the twenty-first century confront us, both in clinical practice and in theory, with fascinating challenges that to some extent subvert the traditional maternal ideal: the motherhood of single women, motherhood in which the mother-child relationship seems minimal (in the case of very busy working mothers), teenage motherhood in which there is no true awareness of the maternal function, motherhood in couples of homosexual women, men who take upon themselves the maternal function (men-mothers), complex motherhood by virtue of the multiple variants that have nowadays become possible thanks to new reproductive techniques, shared motherhood, surrogate motherhood, sublimated motherhood and perverse motherhood.

Download or read book Knowledges Practices and Activism from Feminist Epistemologies written by Eulalia Pérez-Sedeño and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, Technology and Gender studies (STG) include the different approaches to feminist epistemologies, their current debates and also the theoretical analysis of different scientific controversies around cases that involve women's bodies and health, sex/gender, and techno-scientific practices. These studies are linked to the demand for another type of hybrid knowledge that revalorizes the practices, the embodied experience and care, as well as the subject positions traditionally excluded from the scientific community. The diversity of voices has allowed a plural knowledge in techno-scientific practices to emerge as well as the identification of gender, class, sexuality, race, functional diversity inequalities, for example. This has made possible a bioethical reflection which is not understood as abstract normative principles but linked to the practices and lived experience. Divided into three parts, this edited volume presents original and insightful research on STG from feminist epistemologies. The first part addresses fundamental theoretical questions that feminist epistemologies raise; and how they confront complex social problems, such as gender-based violence. The second part deals with research practices or processes, explicitly showing the relationship between science and policy. Finally, the third part presents some case studies that show the multidimensionality of the problems and the depth and richness of these analyses. The contributions included in the volume present original and in-depth research on local case studies within Spain. Not only challenging the hegemonic and global perspectives on different issues, this volume also opens up and enables discussion of these global narratives. This edited volume is a useful tool for researchers and university students in multiple fields such as gender studies, feminist epistemologies, STS, cultural history or transgender studies.

Download or read book Winnicott and Kohut on Intersubjectivity and Complex Disorders written by Carlos Nemirovsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-02 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the complexity of scientific developments inside and outside the psychoanalytic field, traditional definitions of basic psychoanalytic notions are no longer sufficiently comprehensive. We need conceptualizations that encompass new clinical phenomena observed in present-day patients and that take into account contributions inside, outside, and on the boundaries of our practice. This book discusses theoretical concepts which explain current clinical expressions that are as ineffable as they are commonplace. Our patients resort to these expressions when they feel distressed by their perception of themselves as unreal, empty, fragile, non-existent, non-desiring, doubtful about their identity, beset by feelings of futility and apathy, and emotionally numb. The book aims at contrasting the ideas of Winnicott and Kohut, which are connected with a clinical practice that sees each patient as unique and are moreover in direct contact with empirical facts, and applies them to the benefit of complex patients. These ideas facilitate the expansion of paths in both the theory and the practice of our profession. Uniquely contrasting the works of two seminal thinkers with a Latin American perspective, Winnicott and Kohut on Intersubjectivity and Complex Disorders will be invaluable to clinicians and psychoanalysts.

Download or read book The War Against Women written by Rita Segato and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades of neoliberal rule have seen authoritarian turns in many governments, and these decades have also been marked by increasing violence against women. The systematic killing of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, has given way to a violent surge that is worldwide in its scope, concentrated in places where the state’s traditional, sovereign functions have broken down. Femicide is no longer just an intimate event: it has become anonymous and systematic, a crime of power. An intensified form of capitalism, the product of a colonial modernity that is still with us, now fuels new wars on women, which destroy society while targeting women’s bodies. Understanding this new, violent turn within patriarchy—which Rita Segato considers the primal form of human domination—means moving patriarchy from the margins to the center of our social analysis. According to Segato, it is only by revitalizing community and repoliticizing domestic space that we can redirect history towards a different destiny. At stake is nothing less than the future of humanity.

Download or read book Pregnancy Assisted Reproduction and Psychoanalysis written by Renata Viola Vives and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pregnancy, Assisted Reproduction, and Psychoanalysis reflects on contemporary views on pregnancy, while offering guidance on how to work with women and couples experiencing infertility as well as the unique issues raised by having a child through assisted reproduction technologies. Comprised of chapters written by eminent analysts working with infertile couples and women, and parents who have a child born from assisted reproduction, this book offers insightful ways to better understand the challenges these patients undertake and the various issues this might bring into the analytic room. The contributors examine the myriad psychic problems subjects are confronted with which could impact their ability to bond with children born through ART: the mourning processes infertility entails, the identification with the fertile parental couple, the unconscious representation of origin, the representation of the primal scene, and the process of symbolic affiliation. They consider the working-through these processes necessitate in order to enable filiation and healthy parenting, and give invaluable tools to the analyst to enable the promotion of psychological growth. Throughout, the chapters address the emotions that infertility summons in which both patient and analyst find a spectrum of unconscious phantasies and anxieties. This book is an essential read for psychoanalysts and other professionals working in the field of ART, as well as those interested in motherhood and its vicissitudes and intersection with psychoanalysis.
