Suely Rolnik

Suely Rolnik is a psychoanalyst, cultural critic, curator and professor at the Catholic University of São Paulo, where she founded in 1982 the Subjectivity Studies Centre in the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program. Since 2008, she is guest professor of the Programa de Estudios Independientes, MACBA. With Félix Guattari, she is author of Micropolítica. Cartografias do desejo (1986), published in five languages.

She has published numerous essays in books, journals, and art catalogs in Europe and the Americas, and has lectured widely.

Her research focus is on the politics of subjectivation and of creation in different contexts approached from a trans-disciplinary theoretical perspective, inseparable from a clinical-political pragmatic; since the 1990s, she has been intervening mainly in the field of contemporary art. She is currently based in São Paulo, Brazil, where she has a private practice in psychoanalysis.
