Description
In our penultimate discussion on "Hatred of Sex", we do something literally no one in the history of the world has done before: we call Freud problematic!! That being said, we also look at how Davis and Dean's brilliant take of Freud's concept of the unconscious degenitalizes and unbinds sex, allowing pleasure to move around the body in ways that do not look so different from the understandings and practices of leatherfolk. We focus in on the system that seems to love hatred of sex the most—the security state—tracing how it functions to perpetuate carcerality by co-opting the efforts of feminists and other activists to confront harm within our legal system. Helped along by regressive patriarchal forces with much less good intentions, bureaucracies of risk tighten and the most marginalized are cracked down on even more than they already were. Davis and Dean write, "this scrambling messiness of sex can never be entirely covered over by hating it—or for that matter by trying to love it", and we concur—we're here to get dirty.Show notes:"Hatred of Sex" by Oliver Davis and Tim Dean"Rewriting the Soul: Multiple Personalities and the Sciences of Memory" by Ian Hacking"Studies on Hysteria" by Freud & Breuer "Case Histories I: 'Dora' and 'Little Hans' " by Freud"Governmentality" by Tania Murray Li "Histories of the Transgender Child" by Jules Gill-PetersonYou're Wrong About, "The Victims' Rights Movement"Gretchen Felker-Martin's Twitter ThreadIntro song is "Bless You" by the Ink Spots Get access to full bonus episodes, an exclusive RSS feed, and more by subscribing our Patreon!
