摘要

In this exclusive interview for the special issue “The Queerness of Babies”, the co-editors talk to Italian psychoanalyst Bice Benevuto, who specialises in the clinic of the child and baby. In her commitment to the poetic registers of psychoanalysis, Benvenuto embodies the many places where Lacanian and queer- or trans-theoretical logics meet, despite the analyst’s or theorist’ Butler’s unknowing. In the encounter staged by this interview, a mapping of the most fundamental ills of our times emerges, but what also emerges is the promise of openings precisely where babydom and queerness meet. Benvenuto’s thinking carves out a space devoid of hostility and epistemological border-keeping to allow the clinic of the baby and a queer clinic to be placed in relation.
