Abstract

FIORINI, Leticia Glocer. The body on stage.Translated byMarco Rovere. J. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.100, pp. 175-188. ISSN 0103-5835.

The author proposes to consider the category "body" as a frontier theme. She addresses issues related to virtual bodies, biotechnology and sexual difference. She argues that anatomical heterogeneity adopts, in most cultures, a dualistic form that faces the challenges presented by the sexualities and plural identities of contemporary societies. Emphasizes that biological sex is organized through philosophical and medical fictions, and proposes to think of an anatomy interpreted in relation to others and to current discourses. Points out that the body always has a nucleus of radical heterogeneity regarding subjectivity. Points out that the woman's body embodies the difference in a slide that demands to be deconstructed. She proposes to think of bodies as categories of intersection with disjunctions and concordances between the heterogeneity of sexualized bodies, the desiring field and the current discourses on sexual difference.

Keywords : sexual difference; virtual bodies; biotechnological bodies.
