OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Confusing cases: Forrester, Stoller, Agnes, Woman
This paper brings together different strands of my research interests in contemporary formations of gender and sexuality, the history of feminist thought, and the aesthetic practices of clinical writing. I focus on the question of ‘woman’, variously constructed and contested since the time of Freud’s writing, exploring how psychoanalytically informed feminism can contribute to contemporary cultural debates on what many have termed the transgender moment. Specifically, I pursue the hypothesis that a formal alliance pertains between the methodological question of the case study and the cultural question of gender as it has found expression from the 1960s on.
