6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (ET)

For the past twenty-five years, Gisèle Chaboudez has been rigorously interpreting and writing on Lacan’s concept of the sexual non-relation. For millennia the sexual law that universally defines “man as the one who has and woman as the one who is what he has” has masked and compensated for the absence of sexual relation, while generating a myriad of subjective and social effects. The feminine side of sexuation, which can be occupied by any gender, introduces the logic of the Not-all, creating the possibility for two jouissances to be shared in a singular and inventive way.

Location: In-person in NYC only.
