Nymphoplastie
The Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and Éditions de la MSH are organising an evening to present the book Nymphoplastie. Coupez ce sexe que je ne saurais voir, to be published the 17 October, 2024.
This session of Livres en dialogue will feature author Sara Piazza in dialogue with MaÏa Mazaurette.
At the end of the meeting, you will have the opportunity to ask our guests any questions you may have. The meeting will be followed by a convivial moment.
In this book, clinical psychologist Sara Piazza examines this practice in terms of norms, fantasies and the representation of the body. In turn, she refers to ‘little girl sex’ or ‘clean-cut sex’, which conjure up images of childhood and avoid confronting certain other aspects of the female sex - female sexuality as uncontrollable and disproportionate, the danger that the vulva can represent, the relationship with maternal sex, and finally the dimension of old age and death.
- Sara Piazza is a clinical psychologist. She works in intensive care and on the mobile palliative care team at the Delafontaine hospital in Saint-Denis. She is also chair of the local ethics committee at the Saint-Denis hospital. Her work focuses on both female cosmetic surgery and end-of-life issues.
