The power of cyborg in the assembling of modes of post-identities subjectivation: partial connections among art, psychology and gender

In line with a psychology more attached to the "becoming [devenir]" rather than to the essence, the goal of this paper is to ground the importance of understanding subjectivity as a process, mainly when regarding our current discussions about identity and gender. After that, we do some linkage between art and psychology. For us, art is understood as a powerfulmanner to encourage modes of subjectivation that have difference as an inherited relation. Lastly, we draw our attention upon some fragments of the contemporaneous artist, Mathew Barney's work-of-art (specially, "Cremaster"), to see how it runs through the binaries of gender boundaries and launches post-identity lines of subjectivation.
