*About the course *
This course poses the question: what did psychoanalysis do to perversion?
Drawing primarily on the work of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, but also
upon a range of associated legal, literary, philosophical and theological
writings, the key problematics include: is perversion a coherent category?
A useful category? What is the sense and reference of the category of
perversion? Is it a category we should dispense with or continue to use?
What does it enable us to do or not do, for better or for worse? How does
the category of perversion bear upon the possibility of thinking itself?
Each week will take up these questions from different perspectives, from
the genealogical to the genetic, examining the vicissitudes of perversion
across a range of case studies.




Warm Regards
