I think of the object, whether it is a material object represented or in actual form, or a text, as a body that attempts to insist on a sensual investment in its signification. More literally I am interested in the role the body plays as a sensing being in reading the world of objects. How the body can be displaced into an object through the reading of its material qualities as a kind of erotic detournment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/asinlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/on-the-heal-of-the-devil1.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox[sbpost-55];player=img;\" title=\"on the heal of the devil\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-189\" title=\"on the heal of the devil\" src=\"https:\/\/asinlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/on-the-heal-of-the-devil1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asinlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/on-the-heal-of-the-devil1.jpg 533w, https:\/\/asinlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/on-the-heal-of-the-devil1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/asinlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/on-the-heal-of-the-devil1-333x500.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>On the heal of the devil<\/em>, 2008<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barthes: \u201cThe Pleasure of the text is just that: a claim lodged against the separation of the text and an insistence on the extension of erotic investment to objects of all sorts, including languages and texts\u201d.
