Book Synopsis

Queer Theory, Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Sexual Politics is a consideration of the relationship between LGBTQIA+ politics, Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, and queer theory.

The book argues, through readings of Judith Butlerâs Gender Trouble and Lee Edelmanâs No Future, that core queer categories â such as normativity and anti-normativity â sidestep questions that are crucial not only to contemporary sexual politics but also to psychoanalytic thinking and clinical work. Luiz Valle Junior attends to the queer account of the political shortcomings of the contemporary LGBTQIA+ movement, as well as to the inadequacies of the queer reception of Lacanian psychoanalysis and makes a case for the ongoing relevance of Lacanian psychoanalysis to thinking through a renewed sexual politics. The book reflects on the potentiality of a Lacanian theory of sexual politics to challenge the dominance of identity in contemporary LGBTQIA+ activism and in the queer theoretical arch
