De la producción a la seducción o de la naturaleza a la cultura

Abstract

This article distinguishes between sexuality as biological behavior and eroticism as a properly human behavior, although it does not postulate any superiority of the latter over nature. The first part uses elements from the Colloquium on Philosophy and Sexuality held in Madrid in the early 90’s, and the rest deals with the position of Jean Baudrillard in De la séduction, an essay in which the influence of Georges Bataille on him is notorious. The conclusion is that the unproductive nature of human sexuality must not be overlooked in order to understand its connection with the deviation from the rule.
