Description
In indecency cases, Canadian courts historically employed a model of sexual morality based on the community's standard of tolerance. However, the Supreme Court of Canada's recent jurisprudence addressing the role of morality in the criminal law relies upon, in order to protect, the fundamental values enshrined in the Canadian constitution. This article analyzes the Court's decisions in R. v. Labaye and R. Kouri and demonstrates that these cases represent a shift in the relationship between law and sexuality. The author illuminates the possibility of a new approach by the Court to the regulation of sex. Such an approach allows for the legal recognition of pleasure behind, beyond, or outside of legal claims regarding identity, antisubordination, relationship equality, and conventional privacy rights. A new theoretical approach to the legal regulation of sexuality recognizes the importance and benefit of challenging mainstream beliefs about sexuality and subverting certain dominant sexual norms. Such an approach is firmly grounded in the principles of liberalism that Labaye reflects. En matiere d'indecence, les cours canadiennes ont historiquement utilise un modele de moralite sexuelle se basant sur la norme de tolerance de la societe. Cependant, la jurisprudence recente de la Cour supreme du Canada s'appuie sur les valeurs fondamentales garanties par la Constitution canadienne, afin de les proteger. Cet article analyse les jugements de la Cour dans R. c. Labaye et R. c. Kouri et demontre que ces affaires representent une mutation du lien entre le droit et la sexualite. L'auteure expose la possibilite d'une nouvelle approche de la Cour quant a la regulation des relations sexuelles. Une telle approche permettrait la reconnaissance judiciaire du plaisir au-dela et hors des revendications touchant l'identite, l'anti-subordination, l'egalite des relations et le droit a la vie privee. Une nouvelle approche theorique a la regulation de la sexualite reconnait l'importance et les benefices de defier les croyances majoritaires concernant la sexualite et de subvertir certains normes dominantes en matiere de sexualite. Une telle approche est fortement baste sur les principes de liberalisme qui transparaissent dans Labaye.
