Despite the progress made by psychoanalysis since Freud’s discovery of the sexual
nature of the unconscious, analysts have tended to explore psychical causality
independently of the role of the biological factors at play in sexuality. What Can
We Know About Sex? explains how Lacan’s work allows us to make new links
between the sexual laws of discourse, gender and what Freud called the ‘biological
rock’ in human life, allowing a new perspective not only on the history of the
sexual couple but on contemporary developments of sexuality in the 21st century.
Gisèle Chaboudez’s insights demonstrate that the old phallic logic that has been
so dominant is now in the process of being dismantled, opening up the question
of how people can relate sexually and what forms of jouissance are at stake for
contemporary subjectivity. What Can We Know About Sex? will be a key text for analysts, academics and
students of feminism, gender and sexuality
