SUMMARY:Book Launch for GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY\, by Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Join authors Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini as they discuss their new book\, GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY. They will be in conversation with psychoanalyst Griffin Hansbury. The event will consist of a reading\, discussion\, Q&A\, and signing\, followed by a short reception with food and drink. \nAbout GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY: At a time of unprecedented legislative attacks on LGBTQ+ people\, with gender-affirmative care for trans youth being outright banned in a growing number of states\, Saketopoulou and Pellegrini offer an innovative and at times unsettling theory of gender formation. Arguing for abandoning the fiction of “core gender identity” and the fantasy that there is something true or authentic about any gender\, Saketopoulou and Pellegrini instead propose that gender is something all subjects (not just trans and queer subjects) acquire. Trauma\, they daringly argue\, sometimes has a share in that acquisition. \nRooted in the work of French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche and in conversation with bold work in queer and trans studies\, GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY argues for the ethical urgency of recognizing that wounding experiences and traumatic legacies may be spun into gender. Such “spinning” involves self-theorizations that do not proceed from a centered self\, but are nevertheless critical to psychic autonomy. \nSaketopoulou and Pellegrini\, who are both practicing psychoanalysts\, offer theoretical and clinical resources for working with gender complexity and for complexifying (what is seen as) gender normativity. But\, above all\, GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY is an impassioned defense of queer and trans life and flourishing. \nCopies of GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY will be available at the Bureau. To reserve a copy\, please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served.\nAlso live-streaming at YouTube.com/@bgsqd \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @bgsqd. \n  \nAvgi Saketopoulou (she/her) is a Cypriot and Greek immigrant and a psychoanalyst based in New York City.
