Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

Can we still claim, through a Freudian lens, that social life is based on the sublimation of the sexual, and that this very renunciation causes a structural neurotic discomfort of humans in society? Freud also argued that neurosis is the opposite of perversion. After the sexual revolution, in late capi- talist societies where the repressive imperative has been replaced by the impera- tive of enjoyment, where biopolitics has evolved into a pharmacopornographic regime, can we still call ourselves neurotic? Or can we say we are only now perverse? Are we no longer repressed but perverse, and therefore we are free? Are we no longer repressed but perverse, and for this very reason, we are not free? Or simply, as pacifying sex-positive rhetoric leads us to think, “for us,” the sexual is no longer a political issue? In this article, singer Rosa Chemical’s performance at the 2023 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival becomes an opportunity to try to respond to this inquiry, while the most right-wing govern- ment in republican history is in power in Italy and anti-gender rhetoric has gained a hegemonic position in the Italian political debate.
