- More about Hatred of Sex
Hatred of Sex connects Jacques Rancières political philosophy of democracy with Jean Laplanches identification of a fundamental perturbation at the heart of human sexuality, leading to conflicts between desire and hatred. Oliver Davis and Tim Dean explore the consequences of this dynamic across various fields and institutions, demonstrating how hatred of sex has been optimized and exploited by neoliberalism.

Hatred of Sex, a groundbreaking exploration of the complex relationship between politics and sexuality, draws upon the insights of Jacques Rancière and Jean Laplanche to shed light on the constitutive disorder of democracy. According to Oliver Davis and Tim Dean, the hatred of sex arises from its paradoxical nature, as it is both desired and despised. This hatred stems from the sexual intensity that disrupts coherent selfhood and undermines identity, making us all somewhat deplorable.
Davis and Dean delve into the far-reaching consequences of this conflicted dynamic across various fields and institutions, including queer studies, attachment theory, the #MeToo movement, and "traumatology." They demonstrate how hatred of sex has been optimized and exploited by neoliberalism, contributing to the erosion of democratic values and the marginalization of certain groups.
Through their rigorous analysis, Davis and Dean make compelling arguments about sex, pleasure, power, intersectionality, therapy, and governance. They challenge prevailing notions and offer fresh perspectives on enduring questions of equality, particularly at a historical moment when democracy appears increasingly precarious.
Hatred of Sex is a thought-provoking and timely book that will engage scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate connections between politics, sexuality, and social justice. It provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of democracy and the pursuit of sexual liberation.
