Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper provides an introduction to the phenomena of phantom sensations. We recall the events that first led us to survey transsexual men about phantom penises and review some of our recent work in related areas as a primer to contextualizing the neuroscience underpinning Chris Straayer’s exploration of phantom penises. As we discuss, phantom phenomena have long been situated in the borderlands between psychiatry and neurology. With a consideration for subjective experience, which we argue is vital to scientific research, Straayer expands these spaces to incorporate trans theory, psychoanalysis, and cognitive psychology, thus advancing our understandings of what it is to be human.

幻影现象——“幻影阴茎：神经科学的外推和对跨性别男性性化身的想象”导论

摘要本文介绍了幻影感觉现象。我们回顾了最初导致我们调查变性男性关于幻影阴茎的事件，并回顾了我们最近在相关领域的一些工作，作为将Chris Straayer探索幻影阴茎的神经科学背景化的基础。正如我们所讨论的，幻影现象长期以来一直处于精神病学和神经病学之间的边界地带。考虑到我们认为对科学研究至关重要的主观体验，Straayer扩展了这些空间，将跨性别理论、心理分析和认知心理学纳入其中，从而推进了我们对人的理解。

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
