“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.
