520 _aAlthough the term gender is increasingly used in everyday language, it remains a concept that is more difficult to define than it appears and is both the subject of and a participant in many current debates, particularly in its encounter with psychoanalysis. It is neither a simple experimental variable, nor a terminological substitute for the term “sex.” Rather, it is both an epistemological variable that takes into account the political dimension, and a tool-concept. For its part, psychoanalysis is being put back to work by this concept and by the questions raised by current developments in society. In order to shed light on these questions, this article will briefly outline the different positions within psychoanalysis regarding the current debates on gender. Then, the two major definitions of this concept will be presented. At the end of this presentation, a synthesis of these definitions will be proposed. Then, it will be time to look at the question that gender poses to psychoanalysis. To this end, throughout this article, in order to illustrate and help us think about what gender invites of psychoanalysis and what it confronts it with, we will draw on references to other disciplines, such as philosophy and certain artistic fields. It will then be proposed to define gender as a diegesis, i.e., an attempt to construct coherence in a universe, here the difference between the sexes, between simulacra and simulation, with reference to Souriau and Baudrillard respectively. Based on this proposal, the clinic of gender will in turn be considered as part of a clinic of social anticipation. To return to the encounter between gender and psychoanalysis, it will be pointed out that, rather than the question of a gendered unconscious, gender poses the question of a politicized unconscious.
