Parveen Adams (born 1939) is a British psychoanalytic theorist and feminist. She was a cofounder, editor and contributor to the British socialist feminist journal m/f. [1] Since then she has moved to apply psychoanalytic notions to art criticism.
In the 1970s Adams was in a Lacanian reading group with the artist Mary Kelly, and was interested in using Lacanian psychoanalysis to link sexual politics to the Marxist ( Althusserian) notion of ideology. In 1976 she collaborated with Kelly, Laura Mulvey and Sue Lipschitz in leading an ICA seminar defending their use of Lacan against the accusation that he was a patriarchal theorist. [2] In 1978 Adams cofounded m/f with Elizabeth Cowie. [3] She continued to be involved with the journal as editor and contributor through its publication from 1978 to 1986. [1] She taught psychoanalysis, and directed the MA in Psychoanalytic Studies, at the Department of Human Sciences at Brunel University. She was also on the teaching staff of the London Consortium. [4] In 2002 she was a visiting fellow at the Centre for the Study of Culture and Society in Bangalore. [5] She has served on the board of the Journal of Lacanian Studies and Savoir et Clinique. [4]
