This article proposes an interrogation of the use of the psychoanalytic notion of perversion in the critique of contemporary society from two perspectives: firstly, it tries to point to the links between the diagnosis of perversion and moral judgment, evidencing the ties between perversion and morality and defending the argument that this diagnosis is connect to a threat posed to our recognition of what is human, and which therefore is not necessarily bound to the mechanism of disavowal; and secondly, it presents the hypothesis that the mechanism of disavowal itself may currently be paradoxically used as a kind of resistance to perverse forms of subjective experience.
