Quinn Foerch is a Lacanian psychoanalytic theorist and critic whose focus is largely centered on topology as a writing of political and social structures. Though formally trained in literature, psychology, and psychoanalysis, Foerch uses these mediums as stages for interdisciplinary investigations of cultural production.

A member of the Association lacanienne internationale since 2021, Foerch was privileged to refine his psychoanalytic skills under the direction of Dr. Charles Melman, Dr. Marcel Czermak, and other members of the ALI. Foerch graduated with his baccalaureate from Flagler College in 2019, majoring in English and minoring in Political Science and Creative Writing. There, he organized several independent studies in Lacanian psychoanalysis with Dr. Wesley King. Coterminously, Foerch organized his own seminar from 2018-2019, and again, virtually, from 2020-2021 where he held regular classes on Lacan and experimental topological studies of the social field. Foerch will complete his M.S. in Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in the Summer of 2025.

Author and editor of a diverse body of work, from critical theory to books of poetry, Foerch’s latest publication—“Prêt-à-Porter Identities: Psychosocial & Psychoanalytic Investigations on the Clinic of Gender Identity”—proposes an unraveling of gender identity disorders in light of Charles Melman’s “NEP” (nouvelle économie psychique). His upcoming work, “A Disordered Society” is a jointly political, psychoanalytic, and philosophical interrogation of shifting dialectics in cultural authoritative structures.
