Il sex appeal dell'inorganico

Rate this book
Musica rock e architettura decostruttiva, fantascienza e realtà virtuale, droga e look, cyberpunk, metaletteratura, performances sportive e teatrali fanno parte di una stessa cultura, la cui chiave di accesso è costituita dall'esperienza dell'essere umano come una cosa che sente propria. Tutti questi aspetti annunciano il passaggio da una sessualità organica, orgiastica, fondata sulla differenza dei sessi, guidata dal desiderio e dal piacere, ad una sessualità neutra, inorganica, artificiale, espressa da una eccitazione astratta, sempre disponibile e priva di riguardo nei confronti della bellezza, dell'età e delle forme.

I have to say that is definitely worth a read. It offers a new fresh perspective on many matters and engages the reader to continue thinking further or rethink old ideas from a new angle.

Not entirely unhinged, but written in an intense manner. Interesting points, and an interesting view.

I read this a while ago, but I think I was excited by the academic take on post-human bodily experience, the neutralization of sexual dynamics, and the aestheticizing of everyone and everything as a field of desiring objects. Poetic and interesting.

I like his ideas but he uses way too many different examples, also the huge amount of different philosophical concepts is very confusing if you’re not used to that kind of literature.
