ABSTRACT

The first chapter immerses us in that monstrous thing, that queer thing, that we are and that psychoanalysis does not know how to face it even in our times; it is a matter of thinking about everything that Jacques-Alain Miller points out in these times against queer theory and, especially, against Butler. And in order to do so, he delves radically into psychoanalysis and how it structures the psychic apparatus, which has been postulated since Freud, as neurosis, psychosis and perversion. And then this structure is dismantled in the light of Preciado, Deleuze, Hegel and especially with the great English playwright Sarah Kane and her theatre In-Yer-Face. And from there we can see the “monster” that we really are and that we don’t allow ourselves to be trapped by the naturalised representation of the human that no longer gives any more of itself. And which causes us so much discomfort and illness and which also leaves us living in a Labyrinth of violence among ourselves.
