A Day with Judith Butler and Kenneth Corbett: [En]Countering Gender: Psychoanalytic Reflections on the “Scene of Address”

Co-sponsored by NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, the journal “Studies in Gender and Sexuality” and the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at NYU.

To say that gender is assigned is to say that gender is conveyed by the names we are called and the ways we are addressed. How do we understand this process of ‘assignment’ and are we held together or de-centered by it at a psychic level? Judith Butler, Ph.D. and Ken Corbett, Ph.D. return to continue probing these questions and their implications. In reaching for something that may very well be beyond words, they draw upon cultural studies, psychoanalytic theory, feminist theory, queer theory and their
intersection with theories of power, politics and ethics.

The morning session will consist of a paper by Dr. Butler to be discussed by Dr. Corbett with a lively interchange between them followed by audience participation.The afternoon session will focus on two in-depth case presentations moving the dialogue into the clinical arena and how the transference-counter-transference matrix holds the very issues being conceptualized when we encounter an ‘other.’

Judith Butler, Ph.D. is Maxine Elliot Professor in Rhetoric, Comparative Literature and Women’s Studies at the University of California, Berkeley and is well known as a theorist of power, gender, sexuality and identity. Among her books are Undoing Gender,
Gender Trouble, Bodies That Matter, and Excitable Speech.

Ken Corbett, Ph.D. is an Associate Editor of Studies in Gender and Sexuality, and an Associate Editor of Psychoanalytic Dialogues. He is a member of the Psychoanalytic Society of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
