Abstract
In the western line of thought, there is a close relation between pornography and perversion. But are pornographic representations really perverse? And how should we understand perversion? We shall try to answer these questions using psychoanalytical tools, but without engaging in a truly Freudian approach. We shall analyze two hypotheses: first, the connection between the gaze and the superego as we observed it in pornography and secondly, we shall explore the suggestion given by Daniel Sibony, according to whom perversion is always a relational concept and not an intrinsic quality of a subject or of an act.
