In this paper I undertake an investigation of the meaning of sexual difference for Tiqqun’s theory of the Young Girl, which describes a commodified subjectivity in the neoliberal age. Tiqqun’s claim, that Young Girl is not to be understood as a gendered concept but rather as a détournement of the capitalist girl archetype, is put in relation to Jennifer Boyds development of their theory. According to Boyd’s interpretation of Young Girl as an embodied, gendered subjectivity, she can resist the control of the Empire by transforming from non-agency to pure agency, the latter being the state Boyd coins Strange Girl. In order to understand the radical notions that seem to follow from interpreting Young Girl in terms of gendered subjectivity, I apply Paul B. Preciado’s theory of techno-gender in the pharmacopornographic era to Tiqqun and Boyd respectively. Preciado’s theory offers a way of addressing Young Girl as a specific embodied subject and holder of a potentia gaudendi, an orgasmic potential that is either exploiting or being exploited depending on the bearers techno-gender. To conclude, this essay offers up a re-reading of Young Girl as being the exploited techno femininity that transform, via molecular gender and sex-hacking, into Strange Girl and orgasmic agency. Thereby she performs an actual, and not symbolical, resistance against the biopower performed by the Empire. / <p>Presenterad vid Seminariet i feministisk kontinentalfilosofi i Stockholm, 12 oktober 2018</p><p></p><p></p>

[pt] Esta dissertação propõe um estudo acerca da acentuação do controle dos corpos efetuado pelo regime farmacopornográfico (Paul B. Preciado) e sua produção de subjetividade, levando em conta a tensão entre as técnicas que compõem o que se habituou a chamar de humano e as invenções técnicas que se afastam do mesmo, das quais o bio-hackeamento e a intoxicação voluntária serão os exemplos analisados. Para isso, faz-se aqui um duplo movimento de investigação e experimentação dos conceitos de aliança intensiva (Deleuze e Guattari), ou alianças demoníacas (Viveiros de Castro), a partir de laços estratégicos possíveis entre os desumanizados pelo humanismo. Há também a proposição de uma alternativa ao humanismo levando adiante a provocação conceitual de Preciado de um animalismo por vir, em uma escrita especulativa que atravessa as obras de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Metafísicas Canibais) e Paul B. Preciado (Testo Yonqui). / [en] This dissertation proposes a study on the accentuation of the control of the bodies effected by the pharmacopornographic regime (Paul B. Preciado) and its production of subjectivity taking into account the tension between the techniques that compound what we are accustomed to call human and the technical inventions that deviate from it, of which the biohacking and the voluntary intoxication will be the examples analyzed. For this, a double movement of investigation and experimentation of the concepts of intensive alliance (Deleuze and Guattari), or demonic alliance (Viveiros de Castro), possible strategic ties between the dehumanized by humanism, is necessary. There is also the proposition of an alternative to humanism taking forward the conceptual provocation of Preciado of an animalism to come, in a speculative writing that runs through the works of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Cannibal Metaphysics) and Paul B. Preciado (Testo Junkie).
