It is the same: any shock, any blow, any impact, all the metallurgy of the accident can be read in the semiurgy of the body — neither an anatomy nor a physiology, but a semiurgy of contusions, scars, mutilations, wounds that are so many new sexual organs opened in the body.
Where it comes from
From French sémiurgie, a term coined in the 1970's in works about mass-media.
