Explore sexuality beyond conventional consent and trauma. This groundbreaking work delves into the eroticism of risk, race, and ‘limit consent,’ challenging our obsession with healing. Avgi Saketopoulou critically examines how traumatized subjects engage with their pain, charting transformational possibilities through queer theory and psychoanalysis. Moving from clinical insights to cultural case studies, the book illuminates how enduring the ‘strange’ within us can open new encounters. Essential for advanced students, researchers, and scholars of sexuality studies, gender studies, and psychoanalysis in India seeking radical new perspectives.
