Sex, simulacrum and politics of parody

This article aims to discuss the deleuzean idea of humor as way to say the truth about sex and as way to criticize the desire's submission to Law. We can find something similar as deleuzean humor (how it is developed in Logique du sens and Présentation de Sacher-Masoch) in lacanian's considerations about the structures of semblance and fetishism. This similarity can show us the limitations of that deleuzean use of humor to criticize the desire's submission to Law. At the end, the Judith Butler's notion of parody is presented as a sort of continuation of deleuzean standpoint.
