PSYCHOANALYSIS, CULTURE AND POLITICS: GENDER, LGBTQIAPN+ SUBJECTIVITIES AND POSSIBLE HORIZONS FOR A SOCIOPOLITICAL CLINIC

Abstract

This work seeks to explore the contemporary challenges faced by psychoanalysis, particularly with regard to public clinics, culture, and interdisciplinary studies, with a focus on gender issues and the experiences of the LGBTQIAPN+ population. From the context of the public clinics of the first generation of psychoanalysts, I propose a reflection on new theoretical and clinical horizons. The article delves into the Freudian concept of public clinic, examines the foundations for the creation of a sociopolitical clinic, and discusses how the political dimension intertwines with the symptoms that mark the subjectivity of LGBTQIAPN+ individuals, challenging dominant norms and structures.
