WE IGNORE WHERE THE BODY STOPS
What about Otto Lilienthal’s flying body apparatus in the photograph? Could it be still consider it as a bare body flying, or are we to already invoke the concept of a machine, which would essentialize two entities: the body and the apparatus? ...] However, we need to recognize that we do not have a clear understanding of where a body stops [...] we would be mistaken to think that such considerations constitutes a trivial intellectual game. I argue, on the contrary, that they are, instead, profoundly political since all forms of corporeal violence are based on a totalizing knowledge of what a body is. Recognizing our ignorance when it comes to the body therefore struggles against this corporeal violence
