May 12, 2023 — The draw to Overwhelm. Perversion and sexuality amongst the unconventional

[34 pages]

Building off Laplanche, Scarfone and Atlas, which situates us in a more fundamental conceptualization of sex, we now turn our gaze to the unconventional. The excitations of sex and our movement away and towards overwhelm are discussed. Contemporary understandings of perversion, and polymorphous perverse will be discussed. We will be making use of Saketopoulou’s text on “Sexuality Beyond Consent” to lead us.

Saketopoulou, A (2023) Ch 2, “ The Draw to Overwhelm” in Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race and Traumatophilia, pp56-89.

Please select one or two of the “Optional” articles based on your own personal interest.
