ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the queerness of one seemingly heterosexual desire male and female sexual situations as it is incarnated in necrophilia. It examines the de-signified corporeally massacred bodies, in relation to the sealed, facialised and genitalled body which is complicit with the massacre capitalist and Oedipal systems perform on the body and desire. The chapter contextualises the ways in which necrophilia is a form of sexuality emergent through legal and medical discourse rather than volitional desire. It offers an exploration, through three Italian horror films which exemplify necrophilia in different ways as reorganising the flesh and desire. It also offers an exploration, through some Italian horror films which exemplify necrophilia in different ways as reorganising the flesh and desire. Necrosexuality is a form of sexuality not as a process of filiation transmitting the original sin. But, as a power of alliance inspiring illicit unions or abdominal lovers. This differs significantly from the first in that it tends to prevent procreation.
