Can the Monster Speak?: A Report to an Academy of Psychoanalysts
Paul B. Preciado, Frank Wynne (translation)Speaking from his own 'mutant' cage, Preciado does not so much criticize the homophobia & transphobia of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis as demonstrate the discipline's complicity with the ideology of sexual difference dating back to the colonial era, an ideology which is today rendered obsolete by technological advances allowing us to alter our bodies & procreate differently.
Further, Preciado calls for a radical transformation of psychological & psychoanalytic discourse & practices, arguing for a new epistemology capable of allowing for a multiplicity of living bodies without reducing the body to its sole heterosexual reproductive capability, & without legitimizing hetero-patriarchal & colonial violence. Causing a veritable outcry among the assembly, Preciado was heckled & booed & unable to finish. The lecture, filmed on smartphones, ended up published online, where fragments were transcribed, translated & published with no regard for exactitude. Eighteen months on, Can the Monster Speak? Report to an Academy of Psychoanalysts is published in a definitive translation for the first time.
