What happens to our differences when, as consumers, we are expected above all to be comparable and interchangeable?

On 5 November, psychoanalyst Prof. Eve Watson will speak at the IPU Berlin on femininity, gender diversity and the question of how a person finds their own way of living.
Drawing on the work of Jacques Lacan, Watson examines the misogynistic and dehumanising reactions to femininity, gender non-conformity and trans people. She also explores the ‘sinthome’: a singular invention through which a person can shape their relationship with unconscious jouissance. What possibilities does this idea open up – and what reservations does psychoanalysis itself have regarding gender diversity?
An evening for anyone interested in psychoanalysis, gender and contemporary culture.
Lecture in English.
Attend in person or online.
Free admission; registration required.
Venue: International Psychoanalytic University Berlin (IPU Berlin), Lecture Theatre 4, 2nd floor, Alt-Moabit 91b, 10557 Berlin
