Lacan and the Question of Consent looks deep into the mystery of consent. Clotilde Leguil, a psychoanalyst and a philosopher, highlights this ‘experience of openness to the other’ which is both intimate and political. Based on works such as Gaslight by George Cukor and The Lover by Marguerite Duras, the essay weaves an original thought culminating in the analysis of the myth of Tereus and Philomela as described by Ovid and demonstrating that “the value of my speech must be recognized by another”. A necessity more relevant than ever today.
