ABSTRACT
This work has focused on two specific concepts: the body and the Oedipal Complex as an emplotment of the body. I began by using Preciado’s definition of the body in Inappropriate Bodies (2014) and in Somatheque (2012) as a somatic-psychic archive that store political and social practices in it and used it as a lens to read Freudian theory. Then stated how, to become a body, we necessarily ascribe to emplotments that allow us to belong to culture. Also discussed, was how the meanings and significance that we attach to our materiality to become bodies as archives, do not float free of that materiality.
