Not-all are on the right! What hysteria teaches us about sexuation

Not-all are on the right! What hysteria teaches us about sexuation - 2022.
65
Learning from the clinical approach of hysterical neurosis, this article seeks to offer a new perspective on sexuation theory in the psychoanalytic field. By putting hysteria back into its cultural context, it appears to question the disjunction between the discourse on the body and the inhabiting experience of the body itself. It is by this function that hysterical symptoms are, in our culture, an indicator that sexual differentiation is first and foremost a matter of fantasy, and directly related to sexual violence. Finally, it shows a way out of a strict sexual binarity and offers a less normative view of sexuation.
