Abstract

This article is entitled "policies of inclintion: female enjoyment" because it presents an transdisciplinary theoretical reflection on philosophy, gender studies, and psychoanalysis, proposing to develop  three fundamental objectives: firt, to analyze the male/female sexual relationship within the framework of the binary enjoyment/pleasure as a patriarchal paradigm that has normalized desire through sexual contact, where women¨´ ´s enjoyment the psychologically colonial binary order that has structured  female desire, leaving no room for the free drive of oblique and/or inclined passions. Third, to develop, through transdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy, gender and psychoanalysis, an articulation between inclination, clitoral enjoyment and dissemination with the aim of rethinking a politics of inclination through the exercise of libidinal autonomy that enhances an inclined, rather than straight, disposition towards herself as a clitoral woman. Finally, the methodology developed is hermeneutic/interpretive on theoretical intersection between gender apprtoaches and philosophical theory with a psychoanalytic perspective
