This paper discusses the criticism by Paul B. Preciado, as well as some of its ramifications, in respect of psychoanalysis, which was presented at a conference held at the École de la Cause Freudienne, on November 19th, 2019. We intend to recognize and welcome Preciado’s commentary and, in a more comprehensive manner, achieve this through the contemporary perspective of other disciplines, while also considering the possibility of the development of a new epistemology that sets the multiplicity of bodies and sexualities in contrast to the reading undertaken regarding the sexual difference within the psychoanalytic field. For this purpose, we critically analyze the response of three psychoanalysts to Preciado's intervention, and we discuss the issue with the epistemology of sexual difference while situating it in the contemporary dialogues between psychoanalysis and queer studies. Finally, we establish an interpretation of the sexual difference linked to the concept of apparatus, which is proposed by Michel Foucault; namely, as a political epistemology, and as a historically contextualized grammar of subjectivities, among others that are also possible.
