"Gender as Soft Assembly" weaves together insights from different
disciplinary domains to open up new vistas of clinical
understanding of what it means to inhabit, to perform, and to be,
gendered. Opposing the traditional notion of development as the
linear unfolding of predictable stages, Adrienne Harris argues that
children become gendered in multiply configured contexts. And she
proffers new developmental models to capture the fluid,
constructed, and creative experiences of becoming and being
gendered. According to Harris, these models, and the images to
which they give rise, articulate not only with contemporary
relational psychoanalysis but also with recent research into the
origins of mentalization and symbolization.
In urging us to think of gender as co-constructed in a variety of
relational contexts, Harris enlarges her psychoanalytic sensibility
with the insights of attachment theory, linguistics, queer theory,
and feminist criticism. Nor is she inattentive to the impact of
history and culture on gender meanings. Special consideration is
given to chaos theory, which Harris positions at the cutting edge
of developmental psychology and uses to generate new perspectives
and new images for comprehending and working clinically with
gender.
