ABSTRACT
Thus, Mieli also ends up denying the antisocial character of the sexual. However, he does not foreclose the sexual so as to promote, instead, a full resolution of sexual and political. Notes about the antisocial force of the sexual finds itself, instead, in minor texts of Foucault, in interventions and interviews geared toward the public and gay activists in which, even touching on his personal experiences, the great philosopher in fact contradicts his historical-constructivist approach to the analysis of sexuality that had inaugurated contemporary queer theories. Is it therefore possible to mediate between Foucault’s constructivism and the Freudian theory of the sexual drive from the Three Essays? Following Teresa de Lauretis, this last chapter finds an example of this mediation in the critical race theory of Frantz Fanon. The Martinican author maintains that race is a historical construct produced by colonial domination, but at the same time analyzes how the construction of race uses primary fantasies that originate in the sexual, and that are projected onto the body of the black man to render him abject.
