Turn Me On: Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele, and the Politics of Pleasure in Fifty Shades of Grey

This session serves to critically analyze E. L. James's Fifty Shades of Grey using aspects of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis and Foucauldian discourse analysis. It attempts to connect Ana's coming of age with the maturation of feminine Eros, and it considers Christian's psychosexual underdevelopment within the context of his behavior.
