A autoteoria trans como forma de transmissão da psicanálise: problematizações sobre a transfobia na formação psicanalítica

Abstract

This dissertation analyses structured and institutionalised transphobia in analytical formation from the perspective of a transmasculine psychoanalyst. It proposes an epistemological reversal, in which trans people produce knowledge about themselves, as well as about cisgenderism and psychoanalysis. The research adopts trans self-theory as a method, inspired by Paul Preciado, articulating self-experience and theoretical analysis. The situated experience, understood as the production of transmasculine knowledge and as a mode of transmission of psychoanalytic teaching, includes episodes of silencing and threats resulting from the naming of cisgender norms, especially when tensioning masculinities, machismo, and misogyny in the context of peripheral psychoanalyst collectives. By tensioning the normative devices of formation and transmission of analytical knowledge, segregation becomes evident, constituting a crisis of small differences. As a result, the study demonstrates that trans self-theory operates as an ethical-political device capable of displacing cisgender centrality in analytical formation and producing critical knowledge consistent with the ethics of desire. It is argued that this perspective favours listening that is implicated in the unconscious and social crossings of the subject, contributing to the critical revision of contemporary psychoanalytic formation and to the strengthening of dialogue with the field of education, by challenging the ways of teaching, transmitting, and legitimising knowledge.
