Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference · Patricia Gherovici · p.149
**THE ART OF ARTIFICE**
Theoretical move: The transgender body-as-art-project illustrates how writing on the body functions as a sinthome — a structural supplement analogous to Joyce's use of art — such that the trans experience of bodily transformation makes visible a universal "curative" role of writing that Lacanian clinical practice can generalise beyond trans patients to the broader question of embodiment and the symptom.
I am also intrigued by the body as written in Shuker's video; the issue of body-writing and bodies-as-written is an issue I have often encountered in my practice while working with analysands who identify as trans.
