Content
Transsexuality and the Art of Transitioning: A Lacanian approach presents a startling new way to consider psychoanalytic dilemmas of sexual difference and gender through the meeting of arts and the clinic. Informed by a Lacanian perspective that locates transsexuality in the intermediate space between the clinic and culture, Oren Gozlan joins current conversations around the question of sexual difference with the insistence that identity never fully expresses sexuality and, as such, cannot be replaced by gender. The book goes beyond the idea of gender as an experience that gives rise to multiple identities and instead considers identity as split from the outset. This view transforms transsexuality into a particular psychic position, able to encounter the paradoxes of transitional experience and the valence of phantasy and affect that accompany aesthetic conflicts over the nature of beauty and being.Gozlan brings readers into the enigmatic qualities of representation as desire for completion and transformation through notions of tension, difference and aesthetics through examining the artwork of Anish Kapoor and Louise Bourgeois and the role played by confusion in the aesthetics of transformation in literature and memoir. Each chapter of the book presents a productive take on understanding the psychoanalytic demand to sustain and consider the dilemma that the unconscious presents to the knowledge and recognition of gender. Fundamentally, this work understands transsexuality as a creative act, rich with desire and danger, in which thinking of the transsexual body as both an analytic and a subjective object helps us to reveal the creativity of sexuality. Ideal for psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers as well as students of psychoanalysis, cultural studies, literature studies and philosophy, Transsexuality and the Art of Transitioning offers a unique insight into psychoanalytic approaches to transsexuality and the question of assuming a position in gender.

Reviews
'As psychoanalyst at work, Oren Gozlan presents gender on the move and in transition. It is within the enigmas of life, Gozlan argues, best expressed between the clinic and the creative arts that open psychoanalysis to alterity. The novel analysis of transsexuality is presented through the aesthetic conflicts of psychical space and their literary destiny. Between the clinic and its critique, readers can examine changing views of transsexuality. Through his evocative frame, Gozlan offers new ways to trace the representations of gender from the advent of memoir and identity claims into the enigmatic literature and to abstract sculpture. Revisiting a number of psychoanalytic debates on the heteroglossia of the drives and sublimation, this book is a bold move from reading the body to writing upon it.' - Deborah P. Britzman, FRSC and author of Freud and Education.
