CAN THE MONSTER SPEAK?/

In November 2019, Paul B. Preciado was invited to speak in front of 3,500 psychoanalysts at the Ecole de la Cause Freudienne's annua l conference in Paris. Standing up in front of the profession for whom he is a 'mentally ill person' suffering from 'gender dysphori a', Preciado draws inspiration in his lecture from Kafka's 'Report to an Academy', in which a monkey tells an assembly of scientists that human subjectivity is a cage comparable to one made of metal bars.
