Annie Sprinkle, and sexuality as performance

 
Preciado 268: "Annie Sprinkle introduced a new performative shift in the understanding of identity by defining not only gender, but also sexuality, in terms of performance."
 
270: "sexuality is always performance"
 
272: "Sprinkle's scheme has proliferated in the work of others: Shelly Mars, Fatal Video, Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi, Del LaGrace Volcano, Maria Beatty, Bruce LaBruce, Shu Lea Cheang, Post Op, Giuseppe Campuzano, Nadia Garandos La Fulminante, Porno Porsi, and so on"
 
273: "those who has been passive objects of the pornographic and the disciplinary gaze [...] become subjects of representation"
 
"Such a critique makes a breach in the history of the representation of sexuality, transforming pornographic techniques into a field of political intervention"
