| It is, needless to say, a zone of
sexual ambiguousness, but more importantly, it is a term that gave
Barthes room to figure forth his entropic desire that noisy
meaningfulness cease its hectoring and diminuendo back into a whisper of
the banal and the imprecise and the uninterpretable. The ambiguousness in the use of the word operation is apparent from
the terms operational functions and operations of war. Though the
two women's racial ambiguousness takes on different forms relative

woman), both women's surroundings color the men's perceptions
