Reviews

'As psychoanalyst at work, Oren Gozlan presents gender on the move and in transition. It is within the enigmas of life, Gozlan argues, best expressed between the clinic and the creative arts that open psychoanalysis to alterity. The novel analysis of transsexuality is presented through the aesthetic conflicts of psychical space and their literary destiny. Between the clinic and its critique, readers can examine changing views of transsexuality. Through his evocative frame, Gozlan proposes offers new ways to trace the representations of gender from the advent of memoir and identity claims into the enigmatic literature and to abstract sculpture. Revisiting a number of psychoanalytic debates on the heteroglossia of the drives and sublimation, this book is a bold move from reading the body to writing upon it.' - Deborah P. Britzman, FRSC and author of Freud and Education.
