Among all the sexualities we encounter in the animal world, only the human one is disjointed from reproduction: for us, there is a gap between “instinct” and “drive.” Human sexuality is neither natural nor counternatural, it is un-natural. By rooting it in the infantile and by dissociating the sexual and the genital, Freud and psychoanalysis have in a way “prolonged” this emancipation of sexuality. The idea of a primacy of gender over sex, which goes so far as to assert a polymorphism that multiplies the genders well beyond two, can be understood as a way of deepening the “criticism” of nature and of the dominant—namely, heterosexual and patriarchal—ideology. However, is the unconscious the witness of our present time or is it “politically incorrect”?

Anna Freud is Sigmund Freud's sixth and youngest child. She became the caretaker of the psychoanalytical legacy and founded, with or against Melanie Klein, child psychoanalysis. However, all of this did not occur without ambiguity and controversy. She was in analysis with her father, and in 1922 she wrote a paper about her fantasies, just as Freud did before (A Child Is Beaten, 1919). She was secretly labeled and criticized as an old maid and as a lesbian. The link between her analysis with Freud and her being chosen to represent psychoanalysis was publicly questioned, as she was caught in this legacy. Did she sacrifice her own life and sublimate her libido for him, therefore becoming his “Antigone,” as he named her? In this paper, I analyze our gaze on her in regard to the paradox between love in reality and faithfulness to memory. Although her attachment to her father's legacy deprived her in a way, recent papers show how she lived a long life after his death, a life in which she loved, created and found her own path.

In Canadian law, consent usually draws the line between permissible and criminal sexual activity. However, case law has determined that, for reasons of public order, a person cannot consent to sexual activity that causes intentional bodily harm. This limit on consent is analyzed in the context of BDSM (Bondage, Dominance/Submission Sado-masochism) activities.

In this article, the medical motif at work in contemporary playwright Sarah Kane's Phaedra's Love (1996) will be explored. If the significance of the doctors in the rest of her work has been investigated before – especially in Cleansed (1997) and 4.48 Psychosis (2000) – it has never been linked to Phaedra's Love, in which the protagonist, the idle and misanthropic prince Hippolytus, feels profoundly ambivalent, appearing as diseased, as a disease… and as a cure.

In this essay, I theorize genderfucking as a critical legal methodology. Genderfucking is defined by its focus on the needs and experiences of those who ‘fuck' with gender, resisting attempts at gender governance through laws, policies, and practices. Adopting a politics of messiness, genderfucking is critical of recognition and calls into question the state's legitimacy in defining and policing gender categories. Genderfucking offers a rich and fertile approach for analyzing a social, political, and legal world indelibly marked by regimes of gender and, in so doing, steps on the path towards gender liberation.

In terms of people with disabilities advocating for their sexual rights, in 2011 the French government took a stand on the issue of sexual accompaniment (practice also known as sexual assistance). Discussions taking place within political bodies and in the media continue to be stimulated by moral judgments, however without explaining the lower frequency of socio-gendered relationships. They are simply recorded, objectified and deplored. This article proposes an in depth look into the debate, not by questioning the issue of sexual needs or the humanization of people with disabilities, but by analyzing the reasons for a difference in the frequency of socio-gendered relationships. Is there one (or more) social casualties or can this phenomenon be explained solely by bodily differences?
