The utopic body is nothing other than the text, the text as a living body. [...] the utopic is not to be sought in the representation that the discourse recounts and describes, but rather in the sites of intense pleasure where the discourse spreads itself thin, becomes punctuated with empty spaces, and as a result, is constituted as a text of happiness. It is precisely this allegory [...] of the body of the text that we must now explore in an attempt to discover exactly where the sphincters and orifices of the text are located. (Marin 100)
