Queer Traversals
« An invaluable commentary on the status of gender and sexuality in Lacanian psychoanalysis. By putting contemporary Lacanians like Slavoj Žižek on the theoretical couch, the author embarks upon a riveting analysis of how we may lay the groundwork for a queer and trans-affirmative psychoanalysis. Coffman is one of the most important queer scholars writing today on subjectivity, gender and sexuality in Lacanian perspective.»

Working at the intersection of psychoanalytic, queer, and transgender theories, this book argues for the need to read Lacanian psychoanalysis through a queer and trans-positive framework. In so doing, it challenges the dimensions of fantasy at play in efforts to insist on the continued validity of the binary gender system. Les mer
Examining texts as diverse as films such as Hedwig and the Angry Inch and literary texts such as Paul takes the Form of a Mortal Girl, the book enables a queer and trans- inclusive model of theorizing subjectivity in psychoanalysis, psychosocial studies and cultural studies.
