“En el régimen neoliberal, la explotación ya no se produce como alienación y auto-des-realización, sino como libertad y autorrealización. Aquí ya no existe el otro como explotador que me obliga a trabajar y me explota, sino que más bien soy yo mismo quien me exploto voluntariamente, creyendo que me estoy realizando. Me mato a base de autorrealizarme. Me mato a base de optimizarme. En este contexto resulta imposible toda resistencia, toda sublevación, toda revolución.”

I have been stricken with intangibility. Yet there he is. Only with her hands does she not touch him. With her eyes she touches and he is touched. What if she couldn't see him? She would touch him with her ears, with her voice, with silence. There are so many ways of touching without touching, without touching be touched, to be in the continuity of the real.”

“I’ve tried to imagine how she’d feel knowing that her cells went up in the first space missions to see what would happen to human cells in zero gravity, or that they helped with some of the most important advances in medicine: the polio vaccine, chemotherapy, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization. I’m pretty sure that she—like most of us—would be shocked to hear that there are trillions more of her cells growing in laboratories now than there ever were in her body.”
