Description

Abordar la sexualidad como experiencia históricamente singular requiere desentrañar los saberes que a ella se refieren , bucear en los sistemas de poder que regulan su práctica y, sobre todo, comprender las formas según las cuales los individuos se conciben y se declaran como sujetos de esa sexualidad. La historia de la sexualidad, el proyecto más ambicioso en la obra de Michel Foucault -del que sólo alcanzó a publicar los primeros tres volúmenes-, es una deslumbrante e iconoclasta exploración de los juegos de verdad mediante los cuales el ser humano se ha reconocido como hombre de deseo. Su primer volumen, La voluntad de saber, está consagrado a definir el régimen de poder-saber-placer que sostiene el discurso sobre la sexualidad humana y a mostrar que, más que a través de la represión del sexo, el poder opera mediante la producción discursiva de la sexualidad y de los sujetos de "naturaleza sexual".
