“El sexo, su verdad, su visibilidad, sus formas de exteriorización, la sexualidad, los modos normales y patológicos del placer, y la raza, su pureza o su degeneración, son tres potentes ficciones somáticas que obsesionan al mundo occidental a partir del siglo XIX hasta constituir el horizonte de toda acción teórica, científica y política contemporánea. Son ficciones somáticas no porque no tengan realidad material, sino porque su existencia depende de lo que Judith Butler ha denominado la repetición performativa de procesos de construcción política.”
