Bodies to Wear: Four Lacanian Takes on Trans · Patricia Gherovici · p.84
BODIES TO WEAR FOUR LACANIAN TAKES ON TRANS > FOUR LACANIAN TAKES TO RETHINK THE TRANS EXPERIENCE > BEAUTY
Theoretical move: The passage argues that beauty functions as a sublimatory and aesthetic mechanism through which Schreber negotiates the psychotic foreclosure of the Name-of-the-Father and the impossibility of feminine representation, reclaiming Malabou's concept of plasticity as a creative act of self-transformation rather than merely a symptom of delusion. Lacan's reframing of Schreber's experience as "transsexual jouissance" and a "push-towards-Woman" is thereby grounded in an aesthetics of femininity that exceeds the phallic-Oedipal framework.
Schreber experiences a 'push-towards-Woman' which is a not an Oedipal phenomenon (it is not a push-towards-mother)... The 'push-towards-Woman' is thus a construction that expresses an interpretation of jouissance in terms of its very feminization.
