O homem e suas fronteiras: uma leitura crítica do uso contemporâneo da categoria de perversão

Abstract

RESUMO Retoma-se uma questão central à discussão nosográfica em psicanálise e que se refere ao estatuto da perversão e à sobreposição entre psicopatologia e código moral. Partindo de leituras contemporâneas que privilegiam o uso da categoria de perversão na crítica da contemporaneidade, procuramos destacar o valor moral de tal uso, bem como suas implicações teóricas e éticas. Em seguida, procuramos mostrar como tal uso se vincula ainda à demarcação de limites para o humano, indicando a necessidade de repensar a categoria de perversão, tendo como referência tal discussão sobre o que define a humanidade.

“…4 The transsexuality is represented by people an identity of gender is opposite to the sex of the birth registration. 5,3,6 Hereinafter, the construction of the transsexuality is emphasized in the health area, used by the society to regulate the identifying questions of gender, with a 'supposed scientific base constructed', designed as the inadequacy between the biological sex and the identity of gender. 7 Defined by the CID-10 as a gender identity disorder, it gains a disease dimension and becomes a phenomenon understood epistemically within the health context.…”
