What is the relationship between creativity and perversion? The
boundary between the world of art and 'the artful universe of the
pervert' is carefully explored in this study. Beyond the banal or
picturesque variations in sexual behaviour, there lies an essential
dimension of the human condition, a permanent temptation of the
mind. It is the wish to escape our limitations, to replace our
world with one where all things are possible. Led on by hubris,
'the artful universe' of perversion dethrones God-The-Father and
rewrites the Bible. It aims to transmute reality, to revert to
confusion and chaos. Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel draws on a wide
range of films, plays and writers - including de Sade, Oscar Wilde,
and H.G. Wells. Examples from these sources are closely interwoven
with clinical case material. Although the author does not conform
to the classical analytic scheme, she reviews the psychoanalytic
literature and remains faithful to Freud's thought. Emphasizing the
relations between perversion, narcissism and idealization, she
places the problem of perversion within the endless struggle of
humanity against reality.
