At a time when the sexual revolution seems to have been accomplished, what role can psychoanalysis play for critical theory? A whole strand of queer theories of which Preciado can be elected to represent, echoing Foucault and Butler, proposes to archive psychoanalysis as irreparably compromised with the binarist and heterosexist symbolic order in crisis today. The rhetoric of sex-positivity, which has become mainstream in large sections of Western societies, takes as easily surmountable the conflict of the ego with its own sexuality that has always been at the heart of psychoanalysis. Within this framework, the article will proceed against the tide: following Freud, Laplanche and the so-called antisocial queer theories (Bersani, Edelman, de Lauretis), it will present the ontologically unresolved relationship of the subject of politics to sex as the unspeakable stakes of today’s incandescent debate revolving around the sociological concept of gender.
Keywords: Psychoanalysis, critical theory, queer theory, antisocial theory, gender, sex
