Preciado's sexopolitics (coined in "Multitudes Queer," in Multitudes, 2003)
a "biopolitical action"
concerned with "[s]ex, its truth, its visibility, and its forms of externalization; sexuality and the normal and pathological forms of pleasure, and race, in its purity or degeneracy"
"three powerful somatic fictions that have obsessed the Western world since the eighteenth century, eventually defining the scope of all contemporary theoretical, scientific, and political activity"
"These are somatic fictions, not because they lack material reality but because their existence depends on what Judith Butler calls the performative repetition of processes of political construction"
