Abstract

The article explores the idea of approaching human sexuality not from a “normal” center and then moving toward the margins, but rather the reverse: uncovering the center from the margins. In this movement of dissolving and fluidifying the boundaries between center and periphery, the transformative potential of the erotic is investigated within the framework of a general theory of perversion. This is not meant to be prescriptive. Rather, the aesthetic dimension of sexuality in practices like BDSM should be examined in order to understand perversion beyond its pathologization within the tension between Ars Erotica and Scientia Sexualis.
