This paper was premised on the hypothesis that human sexuality is not a monolithic metanarrative that is self-contained; it is a social construction at multiple levels. After a review of the literature on radical feminism and with the aid of the critical version of hypertext theory, it came up with the proposition that to capture the full and living image of sexuality in intergenerational relationships, a post-Foucauldian reading of selected dystopian texts would yield a de-centered, inter-textual and anti-hierarchical network of its dynamics. Deploying insights from both oral and written works of art, it arrived at the conclusion that sexuality intersects with power, capitalism, knowledge and prospective networks in complex ways. Whether in pre-modern, modern or post-modern contexts, inter-generational relationships have existed and have taken extremely complex forms that were understood narrowly by radical feminists and Foucauldian scholars. A post-Foucauldian reading was able to overcome some of the limitations of these approaches and digital technology was shown to present with its own gaps when it came to evaluating the grammatology of the sexuality in context. This paper opens up new perspectives for evolving the study of sexuality as an undecidable, multi-focused and networked discourse.
