![]() ![]() “Taking a walk is also an extremely immediate form of experience. Jean-François Lyotard quoted in Victor Burgin. ![]() In the libidinal economy, writes Lyotard: “All of these zones are butted end to end … on a Moebius strip … a moebian skin interminable band of variable geometry (a concavity is necessarily a convexity at the next turn) a single face, and therefore neither exterior nor interior.” “Lyotard writes,”We must not begin with transgression, we must immediately go to the very end of cruelty, construct the anatomy of polymorphous perversion, unfold the immense membrane of the libidinal ‘body,’ which is quite the inverse of a system of parts.” Lyotard sees this “membrane” as composed of the most heterogeneous items: human bone and writing paper, steel and glass, syntax and the skin on the inside of the thigh.
