This groundbreaking book offers a fresh perspective on transgender constructions within a clinical setting, delving into the experiences of transsexuality through psychological, feminist, post-structuralist, and queer theories. Drawing from extensive research, including interviews with clinic professionals and users, group therapy sessions, and analysis of manuals and scientific productions, the author demonstrates how the psychological sciences not only treat transsexuality but also construct it in its various elements: corporality, sexuality, identity, performances, and vulnerability. By examining the works of philosophers such as Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Paul B. Preciado, the book also highlights the interconnectedness of language and other subjectifying technologies with the symbolic and material violence experienced by these bodies. It deconstructs the bio-scientific and sociocultural conceptions that shape our understanding of trans life experiences, which are often medicalized and psychopathologized.
No Body is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in critical psychology, psychiatry, and social sciences, as well as anyone interested in the fields of transsexuality, homo/transphobia, feminism, queer theory, discourse analysis, and the construction and signification of the body, gender, and sexualities.
