Part of Exhibition-Related, in Discussions
Join us for a conversation between artist Beatriz Santiago Muñoz and psychoanalyst Patricia Gherovici on feminist utopias, the possibility of developing new languages to describe ourselves, and psychoanalysis’s role in propelling and undermining strategies of resistance. Organized on the occasion of “Beatriz Santiago Muñoz: Song, Strategy, Sign,” the conversation will take Santiago Muñoz’s presentation at the New Museum as a jumping-off point for discussion.
In “Beatriz Santiago Muñoz: Song, Strategy, Sign,” an exhibition and residency organized by the Department of Education and Public Engagement as part of its R&D Season:LEGACY, Santiago Muñoz premieres the new three-channel video That which identifies them like the eye of the Cyclops (2016). The video’s three parts are titled as a sequence:One/Song, Two/Strategy, and Three/Signs. The footage emerged from years of contact between Santiago Muñoz and a group of women, and each channel corresponds loosely to a different theme in Monique Wittig’s 1969 novel Les Guérillères, which describes a world where the patriarchy has fallen after a bloody war between the sexes. Like Les Guérillères, the video closely follows the sensorial and material worlds of the women and imagines a post-patriarchal future. Unlike the characters in Wittig’s novel, however, the women portrayed in Santiago Muñoz’s videos are real, and the story is rooted in the specific place and time that they inhabit—including Caribbean cities, bankrupted states, and coastal towns.
Santiago Muñoz’s presentation at the New Museum also features a set of commissioned masks as well as the silent 16mm film Black Beach/Horse/Camp/The Dead/Forces (2016), which weaves together portraits of those living in Vieques, Puerto Rico—the site of a bombing range used by the US Navy for sixty years. Together, the film, three-channel video, and masks in “Beatriz Santiago Muñoz: Song, Strategy, Sign” serve as testaments to the individuals who forge their own terms for how to live, remember, and advance their own evolving histories.

"Changing Sex, Changing Psychoanalysis”
Presenter:
Patricia Gherovici, PhD
Friday, September 18, 2015
8:00 – 10:00pm
I take as my point of departure the dawn of psychoanalysis: hysteric patients presented somatic problems for which traditional medicine could give no answer; this led Freud to invent a new mode of treatment. For Freud it meant postulating the existence of the unconscious. The hysterics’ symptoms all revealed a sexual origin. At the same period, leading sexologists and pioneer activists like Magnus Hirshfeld worked closely to Freud, which seemed to promise a fruitful collaboration between the fields. Unhappily prejudice prevented this collaboration, and sexology and psychoanalysis took divergent, even opposed paths. Despite these tensions, transsexualism has remained closely connected to psychoanalysis. Historically, psychoanalysts have taken a normative position by reading transsexuality as a sign of pathology. Nothing could be further away from what one learns in the clinic about sexuality. The transgender experience both reorients psychoanalytic practice and reframes debates about gender and sexuality. This workshop will explore inbuilt prejudice that obfuscates clinical efficacy. This program will expose participants to new clinical modalities to approach sexual and social difference. Clinical vignettes will help participants see the practical dimension of the presentation’s claims.
Patricia Gherovici, PhD is a licensed psychoanalyst. She is an analytic supervisor, senior member, and faculty at Apres-Coup Psychoanalytic Association New York and co-founder and director of the Philadelphia Lacan Group. Her books include The Puerto Rican Syndrome (Other Press: 2003) winner of the Gradiva Award and the Boyer Prize and Please Select Your Gender: From the Invention of Hysteria to the Democratizing of Transgenderism (Routledge: 2010). Most recently, she has contributed to Lacan and Addiction: An Anthology (Karnac: 2011) and The Literary Lacan: From Literature to 'Lituraterre' and Beyond (Seagull Books, University of Chicago Press 2013). She has just published a new collection (with Manya Steinkoler) Lacan On Madness: Madness, Yes You Can't ( Routledge, 2015). She is currently co-editing with Manya Steinkoler Lacan, Psychoanalysis and Comedy (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming).
Her new book Psychoanalysis Needs a Sex Change: Lacanian Approaches to Sexual and Social Difference is forthcoming by Routledge.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:
- Assess the controversial, yet central role played by psychoanalysis in the history of transsexualism.
- Challenge the idea that transgenderism is always a pathology.
- List examples of instances of “gender trouble” and provide practical responses and strategies from a psychoanalytic clinical point of view to address the specific needs of minority patients, those segregated by language, sex, gender, race, and/or income.
- Modify the approach often adopted by psychoanalysis in regard to sex change practices, as well as to minority patients by identifying and criticizing inbuilt prejudices in the therapeutic relation.
- Contribute to a more fruitful use of psychoanalysis when dealing with sexual non-conformity.
- Apply an innovative framework for treating difference – sexual and social.
The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society SW CPE is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #0087. Contact Hours are granted to participants with documented attendance of the entire program and completed evaluation form.

Das Unbehagen Presents: Experiments with Clinical Case Presentations.
MURIEL DIMEN, PATRICIA GHEROVICI, DAVID LICHTENSTEIN
Sat, January 10, 2pm – 4pm
80 Fifth Avenue, Room G529 (map)
DescriptionEvent No. 1: “WITHOUT HISTORY” The case presentation presents in microcosm central forces that are always at play in our training and professional lives: the complexities of intersubjectivity, group dynamics inflected by power, and unconscious communication. However, the effects of these forces are often hidden by the conventional structure of the case presentation. A group of Unbehagen members is designing a series of events that will alter the formal structure of the case presentation, with the aim of capturing these forces at play. For this first event, three analysts— Muriel Dimen, Patricia Gherovici, and David Lichtenstein— will present the same case based on process material from a treatment conducted by another, anonymous analyst. This event will explore the unfolding of the individual clinician’s process of sense making when working with clinical material without the usual orienting framework: case history. This experiment aims to shed light on aspects of the complex, often obscured relationship between the patient, the individual clinician, and theory. We will also look at the effects of group dynamics on the case presentation experience and the question of whether case presentations can implicitly transmit essential aspects of the case, beyond what is explicitly intended by any individual presenter.
