In so doing, it challenges the dimensions of fantasy at play in efforts to insist on the continued validity of the binary gender system. Targeting the Lacanian concept of \"sexual difference\" - that desire is structured through the difference between masculine and feminine - it argues that this idea is not transhistorical, as orthodox Lacanians claim, but rather a historically contingent fantasy. As such, it argues that psychoanalytic queer theorists need to go beyond this fantasy to register truly the full range of sexualities and modes of embodiment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamining texts as diverse as films such as \u003ci\u003eHedwig and the Angry Inch \u003c\/i\u003eand literary texts such as \u003ci\u003ePaul takes the Form of a Mortal Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, the book enables a queer and trans- inclusive model of theorizing subjectivity in psychoanalysis, psychosocial studies and cultural studies.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085931765911,"sku":"9781350200005","price":12073.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350200005.webp?v=1767898612","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/queer-traversals-psychoanalytic-queer-and-trans-theories-9781350200005","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
