The book concludes by theorizing currents of sadism that, when pursued ethically, can animate unique forms of interpersonal and social care.ĭr. Putting the psychoanalytic theory of Jean Laplanche in conversation with queer of color critique, performance studies, and philosophy, Sexuality Beyond Consentproposes that enduring the strange in ourselves, not to master trauma but to rub up against it, can open us up to encounters with opacity. Moving between clinical and cultural case studies, Saketopoulou takes up theatrical and cinematic works such as Slave Play and The Night Porter, to chart how trauma and sexuality join forces to surge through the aesthetic domain. Avgi Saketopoulou thereby shows why sexualities beyond consent may be worth risking-and how risk can solicit the future. Central to the transformational possibilities of trauma is a queer form of consent, limit consent, that is not about guarding the self but about risking experience. The erotics of racism offers a paradigmatic example of how what is proximal to violation may become an unexpected site of flourishing.
