Abstract

ABSTRACT The psychological and sociopolitical significance of Freud’s 1905 assertion of polymorphous perversity and originary bisexuality as being the source of all human sexual expression is explored. The way in which normative sexual development involves a trajectory of loss of our capacities for sensual pleasure is discussed. The notion of humans as all having “polysexual potential” is introduced, and it is argued that appreciating polysexuality as a central feature of our condition has emancipatory value and is thus preferable to the pejoratively toned terminology that Freud deployed.

从“多形变态”到多性:精神分析意识形态注解与霸权规范性批判

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
