In psychoanalysis with/out the internal world, the paraontological practice of echolocating opacity makes way for femme aggression. Femme aggression transforms hysterical misery into hysterical autism. And transforms obsessional autism into hysterical autism. Devoted to and passionate about “the suspension of interpellation” (Fernand Deligny), where interpellation has always already been suspended in “the aesthetic sociality of blackness” (Laura Harris), femme aggression need not obliterate, because it is moved by Deligny’s question, “How can something that has never existed be obliterated? and in order for a SELF to lose itself, it first has to be.”
In the clinic of “consent not to be a single being” (Édouard Glissant), “a condition” (Fred Moten), “a practice of being at war against the state of war” (Moten), radical non-individuation is hysterical autism. Where, for Lee Edelman, “radical nondifferentation” is “incest.” Femme aggression differentiates with/out individuating by way of bitchiness, brattiness, “mimicry with a slip” (ash martin), playing the real, reminding the body it's flesh, saying what's true, “sexual responsibility” (Jacques Lacan), “sustaining anxiety” (Steven Swarbrick), “tracing” (Deligny), warmth. . .
Where hysteria eroticizes absence, autism eroticizes presence. Hysterical autism is a hybrid diagnosis, and Femme Aggression and Hysterical Autism is a hybrid course.

With “close presences” (Deligny), close reading aloud from Deligny’s (1913-1996) The Arachnean and Other Texts and Maps and Wander Lines, alongside Erin Manning’s The Being of Relation, and Frances Tustin’s (1913-1994) Autistic Barriers in Neurotic Patients, alongside Monique David-Ménard’s Hysteria from Freud to Lacan: Body and Language in Psychoanalysis and Riccardo Lombardi’s “Sensual Experience, Defensive Second Skin, and the Eclipse of the Body: Some Thoughts on Tustin and Ferrari.”
