Sodomy in Sade and Lamborghini

Abstract

In Sade’s case, the sodomy reproduces the inherent destructive movement of nature by an annihilation of subaltern bodies, especially females, which is enunciated through the rhetorical processes of saturation, dehumanization and consummation. In Lamborghini novels, sodomy, as in Sade’ system, is an almost scientific instrument of control over the body. However, and contrary to the Marquis, the sodomy in Lamborghini is essentially masculine and homosexual. Moreover, enables an inversion of heterosexual norm by a genre transformation of passive subjects. Still, in both narratives, the sexual transgression carried through sodomy stand paradoxically for the violent fundament of an oligarchical power.
