Reviews
A fundamental step forward in the evolution of Gisele Chaboudez's reflection on sex and gender, What Can We Know About Sex? is an impeccable and thorough analysis of one of the most hotly debated issues in contemporary studies...it is precise, explicative and novel. It corrects many misunderstandings disseminated by several critical theorists. Chaboudez provides a rigorous reading of Lacan's work, following his articulations step by step, and demonstrating how, for psychoanalysis, there cannot be any sexual norm. Her reflection on Lacan's notion of the feminine enhances the radically new perspective and the subversion inherent in an idea that is not yet fully appreciated in its individual and social consequences. - Dr Paola Mieli, President, Apres-Coup Psychoanalytic Association, New York

It should definitely be translated and published in English. I'm convinced it will have a great repercussion, for it is precise, explicative and novel.
