Resumen:
Following Butler in Excitable Speech. A Politics of the Performative, I
explore the possibility of thinking of the performative iteration that
subverts injurious speech as a psychoanalytic practice. I want to
explore how repetition of trauma within the psychoanalytic frame might
be thought of in concert with the practice of returning the insulting
term to the speaker in a way that can be quoted against its original
purposes and produce an inversion in its effects. I explore the
therapeutic power of speech iteration, as repetition in a different
context, and then move to the analysis of the possibility of proposing
psychoanalysis as a political strategy and collective therapy to
denounce, prevent, and work through the use of racist, sexist, and
discriminatory language. I argue that a psychoanalytic perspective can
explain both the traumatic and the healing power of iteration.
