Un apartamento en Urano

By: Paul B. Preciado

4.24

Format: 320 pages, Paperback

Urano, el gigante helado, es el planeta más frío del sistema solar, y también un dios de la mitolog…

"Travel translates the process of change, as if external movement were trying to articulate internal nomadism."

-Paul B. Preciado, Un apartamento en Urano

"Não tenho alma e não tenho corpo. Sou o cosmos. Tenho um apartamento em Urano, o que certamente me coloca longe da maioria dos terráqueos, mas não tão longe que eles não possam viajar para cá. Nem que seja em sonho."

-Paul B. Preciado, Un apartamento en Urano

"Al mismo tiempo, el colegio es la más brutal y fantoche de las escuelas de heterosexualidad. Aunque aparentemente asexual, el colegio potencia y fomenta el deseo heterosexual y la teatralización corporal y lingüística de los códigos de la heterosexualidad normativa. Estos podrían ser los nombres de algunas de las asignaturas troncales de todo colegio: Principios del machismo, Introducción a la violación, Taller práctico de homofobia y transfobia."

-Paul B. Preciado, Un apartamento en Urano

"Não pensei em férias. Pensei em esvaziar o arquivo, descarregar a memória. Em apagar. E reiniciar. Mas nada se apaga nem se reinicia. Nem mesmo as máquinas podem ser reiniciadas. Quem diz apagar mente. Como explicou Derrida ao comentar Freud, a memória é como uma lousa mágica na qual se escreve uma e outra vez em cima do que já estava escrito. Ao deslizar a barra para apagar o escrito, a lousa parece pronta para receber uma nova camada de escrita, mas sob a superfície existe um espaço denso e ilegível carregado de marcas permanentes. Para onde vai o amor quando parece esquecido?"

-Paul B. Preciado, Un apartamento en Urano
