El Pensamiento Erótico / Erotic Thought [Spanish]

By Sara Torres

Tras el xito de Lo que hay y La seducci n, vuelve Sara Torres con un ensayo que busca la manera de pensar fuera del binarismo heterosexual, una indagaci n en el gozo que se aleja de una fantas a identitaria basada en un combate entre opuestos.

Una diosa. ...] Una de las voces m s singulares y m s radicales de la literatura espa ola contempor nea .

Alana S. Portero

Amantes son los cuerpos que sonr en antes de comer, que miran a los ojos antes de besar. Su pulsi n est orientada al encuentro intersubjetivo, y por ello existe en la dimensi n de lo tico. Lo cuerpos amantes desean derrocar el sistema heterosexual racializante y patriarcal porque desean borrar en la mirada de la otra el fantasma de una violencia vivida antes del encuentro entre los cuerpos amantes. Los cuerpos amantes, sujetos de este libro, anhelan la alegr a de aquellas a quienes aman y se frustran con la herencia de un mundo simb lico que agrede y limita su capacidad de atenci n. Porque sonr en antes de comer y miran a los ojos antes de besar, no desean la mascarada de la otra, no encuentran descanso en la alegr a ensayada y complaciente del g nero, ans an el encuentro a trav s de una esperanza de comunicaci n m s veraz. Porque su pulsi n existe en la dimensi n tica, porque se practica en lo intersubjetivo, los cuerpos amantes, sobre todo, desear n haber amado bien

Confirmada como una de las grandes revelaciones de la literatura espa ola contempor nea con Lo que hay y La seducci n, Sara Torres firma un ensayo que busca la manera de pensar fuera del binarismo heterosexual. Con el prop sito de adelgazar las im genes y las ideas que nos inician en la cultura humana de lo corporal y lo sexual en occidente, la autora busca pr cticas gozosas que se alejen progresivamente de lo que llama la "fantas a hetero-real", una fantas a identitaria basada en un combate entre opuestos.

Eros, la arquera, tensa su cuerpo y en esa tensi n, inicia lo sexual. Est a punto de ponerse en riesgo: no es un riesgo de muerte, como canta la pica heterosexual, sino de dulzura .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Following the success of What It Is and Seduction, Sara Torres returns with an essay that seeks to think outside heterosexual binarism, an inquiry into pleasure that moves away from an identity fantasy based on a battle between opposites.

"A goddess... One of the most unique and radical voices in contemporary Spanish literature." --Alana S. Portero

Lovers are bodies that smile before eating, that look into each other's eyes before kissing. Their drive is oriented toward intersubjective encounter, and therefore exists in the ethical dimension. Loving bodies want to overthrow the racializing and patriarchal heterosexual system because they want to erase from the gaze of the other the specter of violence experienced before the encounter between loving bodies. The loving bodies, the subjects of this book, long for the joy of those they love and are frustrated by the legacy of a symbolic world that attacks and limits their attention span. Because they smile before eating and look into each other's eyes before kissing, they do not desire the masquerade of the other, they find no rest in the rehearsed and complacent joy of gender, they long for encounter through a hope for more truthful communication. Because their drive exists in the ethical dimension, because it is practiced in the intersubjective, loving bodies, above all, will wish they had loved well.

Confirmed as one of the great revelations of contemporary Spanish literature with What It Is and Seduction, Sara Torres has written an essay that looks for a way to think outside heterosexual binarism. With the aim of slimming down the images and ideas that initiate us into the human culture of the corporeal and the sexual in the West, the author seeks joyful practices that progressively move away from what she calls the "hetero-real fantasy," an identity fantasy based on a combat between opposites.

"Eros, the archer, tenses her body, and in that tension, initiates the sexual. She is about to put herself at risk: not a risk of death, as the heterosexual epic sings, but of sweetness."
