Synopsis
This book illustrates that the Castration Complex and the question of the distinction between the sexes are enmeshed in psychoanalytic theories. The subjective negotiation of this distinction impacts the future sexual positions taken up (or not) by the subject, indicating that human sexuality is by no means a given or a natural occurrence in psychoanalysis.
Engagement with the psychoanalytic theory of castration provides the reader with a different perspective on the current society’s insistence on gradually dissolving the differences between the sexes. For Freud, castration complex is the key to understanding the psychical consequences of the anatomical distinction between the sexes. For Lacan, castration introduces the subject to his/her very existence as a sexed being. Mou Sultana illustrates how these two revolutionary theorists came to such conclusions by close reading of the core texts, interpreting them and highlighting their relevance both within and outside the clinic of modern times.

Paperback. Condition: New. This book explores the psychoanalytic concept of castration and its relation to human sexuality. The central argument is that the contemporary perceptions of sexuality as 'natural' or 'given' or as something that one is born with, are problematic from a psychoanalytic perspective. Drawing from Freud's work, the author investigates the formulation of the Castration Complex in order to highlight its close connections to the psychosexual development of human beings. The findings are also compared to Lacan's work in order to highlight the point of departure and similarities between the two theorists' formulation of the Castration Complex and its relation to sexuality. Using several core Freudian texts and some of Lacan's seminars the author examines how do we acquire our sexual identity, position or orientation. Most of all, the author explores what can we learn from the psychoanalytic concept of the Castration Complex about our sexuality? The author argues that despite the obvious difference in time, Freudian theories coupled with Lacan's have much to offer and are extremely useful in understanding the twenty-first-century subjects and their struggle with sexuality.
