Originally conceived as a special Semiotext(e) issue on homosexuality at the end of the 70s, “Polysexuality" quickly evolved into a more complex and iconoclastic project whose intent was to do away with recognized genders altogether, considered far too limitative. The project landed somewhere between humor, anarchy, science-fiction, utopia and apocalypse. In the few years that it took to put it together, it also evolved from a joyous schizo concept to a darker, neo-Lacanian elaboration on the impossibility of sexuality. The tension between the two, occasionally perceptible, is the theoretical subtext of the issue. Upping the ante on gender distinctions, "Polysexuality" started by blowing wide open all sexual classifications, inventing unheard-of categories, regrouping singular features into often original configurations, like Corporate Sex, Alimentary Sex, Soft or Violent Sex, Discursive Sex, Self- Sex, Animal Sex, Child Sex, Morbid Sex, or Sex of the Gaze. Mixing documents, interviews, fiction, theory, poetry, psychiatry and anthropology, "Polysexuality" became the encyclopedia sexualis of a continent that is still emerging. What it displayed in all its forms could be called, broadly speaking, the Sexuality of Capital. (Actually the issue being rather hot, it was decided to cool it off somewhat by only using “capitals” throughout the issue. It was also the first issue for which we used the computer). The "Polysexuality" issue was attacked in Congress for its alleged advocation of animal sex. Includes work by Alain Robbe-Grillet, Félix Guattari, Paul Verlaine, William S. Burroughs, Georges Bataille, Pierre Klossowski, Roland Barthes, Paul Virilio, Peter Lamborn Wilson, and more.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 242mmItem Length: 164mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 564gGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Gender Sex & RelationshipsContributor: Demetrius Zambaco (Contributions by), François Peraldi (Edited by), Daniel Sloate (Contributions by), Pierre Guyotat (Contributions by), Pierre Klossowski (Contributions by), Tony Duvert (Contributions by), Paul Verlaine (Contributions by), Michel de M'uzan (Contributions by), Georges Bataille (Contributions by), Arthur Rimbaud (Contributions by), Roland Barthes (Contributions by), Jason Klein (Contributions by), Alain Robbe-Grillet (Contributions by), Michele Montrelay (Contributions by), John Preston (Contributions by), Roger Caillois (Contributions by), Pierre Bénichou (Contributions by), Michel Bernard (Contributions by), Jean Pouillon (Contributions by), Questionnaire (Contributions by), Sylvère Lotringer (Contributions by), Robert Van Roden Allen (Contributions by), Gilles Deleuze (Contributions by), Jean-François Lyotard (Contributions by), Sylvie Leger (Contributions by), Catherine Duncan (Contributions by), Paul Virilio (Contributions by), Terence C.
