    Or, in this instance, between theology in its Scholastic and univocal mode as derived by Deleuze initially from the anti-Thomism of Duns Scotus, and what he elsewhere describes in relation to the writings of de Sade and Masoch and Klossowski as pornology, as symptomology through the writing of sex? Are we perhaps dealing less with a pornology as such, however, than a pornotheology?
