In November 2019, Paul B. Preciado was invited to speak in front of
3,500 psychoanalysts at the Ecole de la Cause Freudienne's annual
conference in Paris. Standing up in front of the profession for
whom he is a 'mentally ill person' suffering from 'gender
dysphoria', Preciado draws inspiration in his lecture from Kafka's
'A 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. Demonstrating the discipline's complicity with the
ideology of sex, gender and sexual difference dating back to the
colonial era, Preciado was heckled and booed and unable to finish.
The lecture, filmed on smartphones, ended up published online,
where fragments were transcribed, translated and published with no
regard for exactitude. Eighteen months on, Can the Monster Speak?
is published in a definitive translation for the first time.
