The main purpose of this article is to investigate the production of individual gender-based identity. Several modes of identification will be taken into account (ranging from the personal decision on the embodied life to the biopolitical techniques of modern and contemporary government). The underlying interrogation of the article concerns the political capacity of gender identity, i.e. the capacity of the acts of selfdefinition to change the dominant language and to articulate a political frame free of any discrimination, pathologization or criminalization.

The article investigates the relation between the French and the Romanian Communist Parties in the 1960s. A thorough research in the Archives of the FCP indicates that the scarcity of the contacts between the two parties is due both to the mutations of the post-War global communist system and to the particular nature of the Romanian communist Party-state.
