Interrompere naturale vs. Culturale significa non segnare chi viene prima e chi dopo è chi imita cosa. Non esiste una gerarchia piuttosto c'è #intrazione tra fattori eterogenei e complessi: #biofisico organizzazione corpi multicellulari e dei loro simbionti; #bioculturale organizzazione tecno-scientifica, culturalmente situata del corpo umano; #biodigitale manipolazione informatica del corpo umano e delle sue relazioni #lucianaparisi #abstractsex

#abstractsex extends the #feminist politics of desire by mapping the transversal mixing of information between bodies of all sorts (bacteria, vegetables, animals, humans and technical machines). Abstract sex proposes to tap into the kinetic ethology of tiny sexes that lay out a micropolitics of symbiotic relations between different levels of mutation of matter and desire. #lucianaparisi

#compost 48

a #machine is above all defined by a mixture of biological, technical, social, economic and desiring elements that #compose and #decompose a body at certain speeds and according to given gradients. #lucianaparisi #abstractsex

#compost 47

abstract (mutating) matter is #machinic as it entails the heterogeneous composition or merging of different bodies of production. #lucianaparisi #abstractsex

#compost 46
Drawing on an alternative conception of nature, #abstractsex embraces the Spinozist hypothesis about the indeterminate power (or abstract potential) of a body suggesting that ‘we do not yet know what a body can do’. This hypothesis challenges the analogy between biological forms and functions (the pre-established biological possibilities of a body) pointing to the capacities of variation of a body in relation to the continual mutations of nature. #lucianaparisi
#compost 44
These possibilities are defined by the analogy between #biological forms (species, sex, skin colour and size) and functions (sexual reproduction, organic development and organic death) that shape our understanding of #nature and #matter through principles of #identity (fixity and stability). #lucianaparisi #abstractsex
