20.500.12556/DiRROS-27442 Sex trouble Spol težava This essay sets out from the observation that, by and large, the Lacanian field has tended to celebrate Joan Copjec’s “Sex and the Euthanasia of Reason” at the expense of rigorously engaging with it. Indeed, Copjec’s explosive text has often been taken—wrongly—as warranting both an indiscriminate dismissal of the entire project of queer theory (especially where it contests psychoanalytic theorizations of sexual difference) and the frequent confusion of transphobic countertransference with psychoanalytic thinking. Moving against this tendency, “Sex: Trouble” disencumbers the queer- and trans-emancipatory kernel of Copjec’s argument—that is, that sex serves no other purpose than to serve no purpose—from the dimorphic and sometimes “cisnormative” terms through which this radical kernel is at once elaborated and undermined. Setting “Sex and the Euthanasia of Reason” in dialogue with a number of queer and trans theorists, “Sex: Trouble” establishes Copjec’s thought as an indispensable weapon in the struggle against the profusion of meanings that threaten to obliterate the negativity, the nothing, that sex is, and on which the freedom of queer and trans (read: all) subjects is staked. Esej izhaja iz opazke, da je lacanovsko polje na splošno slavilo poglavje »Spol in evtanazija uma« iz knjige Joan Copjec Read My Desire na račun tega, da se ni zares strogo ukvarjalo z njim. Copjecino eksplozivno besedilo je bilo namreč pogosto – napačno – razumljeno kot opravičilo za brezpogojno zavračanje celotnega projekta kvir teorije (zlasti tam, kjer ta nasprotuje psihoanalitičnim teoretizacijam spolne razlike) in za pogosto pomešanje transfobnega kontratransferja s psihoanalitičnim mišljenjem. V nasprotju s to tendenco pričujoče besedilo osvobaja kvir in transemancipacijsko jedro Copjecinega argumenta – namreč, da je edina stvar, ki ji seks služi, ta, da ne služi ničemur – od dimorfnih in včasih »cisnormativnih« izrazov, skozi katere je to radikalno jedro hkrati razdelano in spodkopano. Pričujoče besedilo postavi »Spol in evtanazijo uma« v dialog z več kvir in trans teoretiki, s čimer Copjecino misel uveljavlja kot nepogrešljivo orožje v boju proti obilici pomenov, ki grozijo, da bodo izbrisali negativnost, ta nič, ki je spol, in na katerem temelji svoboda kvir in trans (beri: vseh) subjektov. queer trans sexual difference gender negativity kvir trans spolna razlika spol negativnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Imetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji Neznano 2026-02-07 11:58:26 2026-02-07 11:58:26 2026-02-08 03:48:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 203-228 št. 2 letn. 46 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-08 159.964.26:316.367 0353-4510 10.3986/fv.46.2.09 266685443 https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/filozofski-vestnik/article/view/15067/12846 1 eef19f5b-0413-11f1-93b0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40154 FV_02_2025+9+Hatch.pdf FV_02_2025+9+Hatch.pdf 1 AA9A54FFA23CBEF3107E10172FA0A64A cc4ce72e3c3fa55b29899a51d4aeba293e019861e3b5ed2e0d8e1903e68b3ebe 855068fb-0414-11f1-93b0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40155 Znanstvenoraziskovalni center Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti Filozofski vestnik 0 0 0
