Abstract
How can we understand the body in the midst of a crisis that, in every history and throughout the ages, has revealed a political program that proposes the body to be outside of itself, and in which being outside of itself changes the body into a diffuse or confusing dream marked by nostalgia, discontent, or the naïve desire for the body to become present and belong, belong to itself at last?
Translated by Susan García, Bernardita Llanos, and Leslie Marsh.
