It’s time: Generation and temporality in psychoanalytic feminism

In this paper I examine some key aspects of defining one’s generation: transmitting values to younger generations in a way that makes sense to them; cultivating a psychic flexibility that allows us to welcome the future and be prepared for the unexpected whilst not succumbing to the fear of social, political and economic precarity; thinking of generation as both our collective moment in time and as generative potential; reaffirming the value of communication and sharing experience; and maintaining a dialogue between psychoanalytic feminism and other strands of feminist philosophy

Relational persons and relational processes: developing the notion of relationality for the sociology of personal life

The concept of relationality has recently found widespread favour in British sociology, particularly in the emergent sub-field of the sociology of personal life, which is characterised by its attachment to the concept. However, this ‘relational turn’ is under-theorized and pays little attention to the substantial history of relational thinking across the human sciences. This paper argues that the notion of relationality in the sociology of personal life might be strengthened by an exploration of the conceptualization of the relational person and relational processes offered by three bodies of literature: the process oriented thinking of American pragmatism, specifically of Mead and Emirbayer; the figurational sociology of Elias; and psychoanalysis, particularly the object relations tradition, contemporary relational psychoanalysis and Ettinger’s notion of transubjectivity. The paper attends particularly to the processes involved in the individuality, agentic reflexivity and affective dimensions of the relational person

La decostruzione del genere / Dimen M., Goldner V. (a cura di )

Nella visione moderna, il genere costituisce una categoria fondamentale della mente e della cultura, mentre per quella postmoderna è una costruzione sociale fluida e mutevole. Nel contesto odierno, i due punti di vista sul genere convivono in una forma di sinergia instabile, difficile, ma molto feconda. Dopo il progetto di decostruzione femminista, si sta diventando consapevoli che il genere è un "campo di forza dualista", e dunque "un luogo e uno stato di contraddizione". Se nel 1970 il femminismo si era chiesto: "Che cos'è il genere?", questi saggi pongono la domanda: "Il genere esiste?"
