Book Presentation: Gender Without Identity
Gender Without Identity offers an innovative and sometimes disturbing theory of gender formation. Rooted in Jean Laplanche's metapsychology and in conversation with bold work in queer and trans studies, authors Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini abandon the "core gender identity" to suggest that gender is something all subjects acquire – and that trauma sometimes plays a role in this acquisition.
