Sexuation - Sic 3

"Many of today's leading Lacanians--practicing psychoanalysts as well as cultural theorists--here puzzle out the new riddles of sexuality. Does Lacan's concept of 'sexuation' really answer to feminist and queer discourses on sex and gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, performativity? These provocative essays will begin the debate."--John Brenkman, author of "Straight Male Modern: A Cultural Critique of Psychoanalysis"
