This collection, written by leading Lacanian psychoanalytic
theorists and practitioners, is a unique exploration of the novel
aspects of perversion from the perspective of cruelty-a
psychoanalytic study that has never been sufficiently undertaken in
an English-speaking world. Instead of reducing the notion of
perversion to cultural representations, a historical discourse or a
clinical diagnosis, the authors in this collection draw on Freud,
Kant, Hegel, Marquis de Sade, Derrida, Deleuze and Zizek to untie
the knot of "psychic cruelty" intrinsic to perversion and therefore
"de-sexualize" perverted acts. They do so by theorizing perversion
in psychoanalytic concepts of the Oedipus complex,
the-Name-of-the-Father and jouissance, and furthermore in the
perspective of the clinics of neurosis and psychosis, in dialogue
with a clinical praxis, philosophy and literature.
