PULSE: Débora Tajer, Psychoanalysis for All

Post-patriarchal, Post-heteronormative, and Postcolonial Psychoanalysis considers contemporary efforts to create a post-patriarchal, post-heteronormative, and postcolonial psychoanalytic approach to human suffering. Débora Tajer examines contemporary psychoanalysis and its future by integrating three key strands of Argentinean cultural discourse: the popularity of psychoanalysis, the active feminist movement, and the burgeoning field of feminist psychoanalysis. Tajer delves into themes of subjectivity, power, gender, and family, revealing the patriarchal, heteronormative, and colonial underpinnings of classical psychoanalytical approaches. She also explores the contributions of theoretical-clinical instruments from a gender and psychoanalytical perspective. Tajer highlights changes in femininities and masculinities, new family and relationship configurations, current forms of labour insertion, evolving ideals, and new modes of gender identity assumption and sexual expression.
