I thank the graces that wanted to dive through my work and see what was there. This book is a collection of published and unpublished writing, collected, rewritten, edited, around the theme of “Disorganisation & Sex” unearthed by my editors. From the institution of psychoanalysis to civilization more broadly, this book asks about the role of sex, unconscious desire, and the body. Readings of Freud and Lacan, cases and haunting contemporary topics from masturbation to ejaculation, from #metoo to climate change, and confessions of my intractable orality, it’s a wild little ride. Out on 20 June and now available for pre-order on our website @dividedpublishingltd 🔗 📕« Never does the patient seem more ill than when they try to order associations into a logical tale. Classical analysis sees this in terms of a repudiation of sexuality: an attempt to avoid speaking from a place of desire. But why should psychoanalysis reduce everything to sex? If sex only ever achieves partial satisfactions, fragments of pleasure, its pursuit creates our subjectivity and our world. Disorganisation & Sex argues that the sexuality of psychoanalysis is not a reductive materialism, but an anarchic remainder that cannot be colonised, endlessly disorienting meaning in our everyday lives. It is our proximity to this terrain that undoes our most tedious habits, and opens onto something revelatory. » Jamieson Webster is a psychoanalyst in New York City.
