TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2024.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : In Les genres fluides : de Jeanne d’Arc aux saintes trans, historian Clovis Maillet demonstrates that being trans* is not exclusive to modern times. The mythological creations of medieval Western culture are rich with non-pathologized figures of trans* saints, which resonate with our contemporary sex/gender system that often confines trans* individuals to the “ghetto of psychoses”. It is imperative for psychoanalysts to consider the insights offered by Maillet for a better understanding of a question, that of Eros, which Lacan sought to renew.
