Opacities of race and the sexual.

Psychoanalytic Psychology, Vol 41(1), Jan 2024, 50-52; doi:10.1037/pap0000499Reviews the book, Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia by Saketopoulou Avgi (2023). Sexuality Beyond Consent is a very timely book for psychoanalysis. Published in Routledge’s Sexual Cultures series, it returns to the topic some would consider to be psychoanalysis’s true innovation—the focus on the centrality of sexuality in human subjective formation, conscious and unconscious. Sexuality Beyond Consent is also an important intervention because it attends to the relationships between sexuality, psychoanalysis, and culture by utilizing a mixed methodology, combining psychoanalytic writings with theories from cultural studies, queer studies, and other humanities.
