Summary
Sylvere Lotringer: Overexposed
Perverting Perversion
Overexposed is a journey through hell. A bright, clean and decent hell where triumphalist psychotechnology "cures" sexual deviants by bringing their desire to absolute boredom. Overexposed shows how science, identifying with its object, can pervert its own approach to perversion. A hallucinatory document about the way our postmodern society exposes sexuality to the point of saturation.
"The most vicious perversions are not always the ones we think are the most perverse."
Sylvere Lotringer
Literary critic and cultural theorist. He is best known for his synthesis of French theory with American literary, cultural and architectural avant-garde movements, as well as for his interpretation of French theory in the context of the 21st century. He explained the connections between modernist literature and fascism in his many lectures, interpreting the "relentless modernists" of Artois, Selin, Weil and Bataille as the leaders of the Jewish Holocaust.
