At this moment in time marked by the globalization of identities, how can we think about the differences in cultures, individuals, genders, sexuality? Today, women's freedom and equality of the sexes are sometimes enlisted in the rhetoric of the conflict of civilizations. How can we resist these themes being turned into political instruments without renouncing critical thinking on male domination? And if the barbarian is someone who believes in the barbarity of others, how can we think about the geopolitics of gender and differences?
