Deconstructing the Feminine
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-58894-0 (ISBN)
With a multi-centred and complex approach and an ongoing dialogue with Freud, Leticia Glocer Fiorini addresses questions relating to love, sexual desire, maternity, beauty, and the passing of time by reconsidering the gender binary and underlying power relations. Glocer Fiorini’s work highlights current debates concerning women, the feminine, and sexual difference, as well as discussing topics which have caused controversy throughout the history of the psychoanalytic movement. The updated and expanded edition distinguishes between the concept of sexual difference and the category of ‘difference’ as it applies at various heterogenous levels, and includes new approaches reflecting on the ‘feminine enigma’, hysteria, feminine masochism, and masculinity.
Deconstructing the Feminine will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in clinical practice and in training, as well as to scholars of gender, sexuality, and women’s studies.
Leticia Glocer Fiorini is a full member of the Argentine Psychoanalytic Association (APA) and the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). She is Professor of Gender Studies at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is also Chair of the IPA Sexual and Gender Diversity Studies Committee, former President of the APA and former Chair of the Publications Committee of the IPA and the APA.
