The "Sex" of Politics: Sexual Difference and Political Ontology

为了回答这个问题-什么是性？有必要对性进行哲学性的本体论描述，而不诉诸生物或文化论述。对精神分析领域的挖掘，提供了在本研究所倡导的意义上对性进行概念化的可能性，并使我们能够思考这种概念化的影响。因此，我们可以进一步提出一个问题：一旦我们考虑到性别差异，政治本体论是什么？这种探究涉及到在设定政治时所作的本体论假设：关于（人的）本性、（性的）本质及其（象征性的）属性的假设。

In order to respond to the question-what is sex?-it is necessary to expound an ontological description of sex that remains philosophical, without recourse to biological or cultural discourses. The mining of the psychoanalytic register affords the possibility of conceptualizing sex in the sense that this research advocates, and enables us to think through the effects of this conceptualization. Thus, we may address a further question: what is political ontology once we take into account sexual difference? This inquiry concerns what is ontologically presumed in positing the political: the assumptions about (human) nature, (sexual) essences, and their (symbolic) attributes.
