It will attempt to develop a concept of division that does not imply any pre-existing whole, but rather exists as a self-standing entity, endowed by a reality of its own. What if the division implied in “sex” is not simply that between two sexes (or more), but rather something that marks the unrest of sexuality itself? How could this be related to the contemporary feminist struggle, and what kind of concept of universality would it imply?</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Author(s): Alenka Zupančič </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Title (English): Sex in the Cut (Transcript of a talk at the school authorized by Alenka Zupančič )</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal Reference: </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Vol. 17, No. 2-3 (Winter 2020)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Publisher: Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities - Skopje</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Range: 20-26</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Count: 7</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Citation (English): Alenka Zupančič, “Sex in the Cut,”</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Vol. 17, No. 2-3 (Winter 2020): 20-26.</span></p><h2><strong>Author Biography</strong></h2><p><strong>Alenka Zupančič, Institute of Philosophy, Scientific Research Center of the Slovene Academy of Sciences</strong></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alenka Zupančič is a Slovene philosopher and social theorist.
