Can the Monster Speak? : A Report to an Academy of Psychoanalysts
Preciado, Paul
In November 2019, Paul B. Preciado was invited to speak in front of 3,500
psychoanalysts at the Ecole de la Cause Freudienne’s annual conference
in Paris. Standing up in front of the profession for whom he is a
’mentally ill person’ suffering from ’gender dysphoria’, Preciado draws
inspiration in his lecture from Kafka’s ’Report to an Academy’, in which
a monkey tells an assembly of scientists that human subjectivity is a
cage comparable to one made of metal bars.
Speaking from his
own ’mutant’ cage, Preciado does not so much criticize the homophobia
and transphobia of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis as demonstrate
the discipline’s complicity with the ideology of sexual difference
dating back to the colonial era, an ideology which is today rendered
obsolete by technological advances allowing us to alter our bodies and
procreate differently. Further, Preciado calls for a radical
transformation of psychological and psychoanalytic discourse and
practices, arguing for a new epistemology capable of allowing for a
multiplicity of living bodies without reducing the body to its sole
heterosexual reproductive capability, and without legitimizing
hetero-patriarchal and colonial violence. Causing a veritable outcry
among the assembly, Preciado was heckled and booed and unable to finish.
The lecture, filmed on smartphones, ended up published online, where
fragments were transcribed, translated and published with no regard for
exactitude. Eighteen months on, CAN THE MONSTER SPEAK? REPORT TO AN
ACADEMY OF PSYCHOANALYSTS is published in a definitive translation for
the first time.
