Queer Pleasure Without Apology

de Greg Goldberg

~~48,96€~~ 44,06€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Approaches stigmatized sex with candor and curiosity, interweaving experience and analysis to better appreciate the intricacies and intrigue of queer desires and pleasures.Queer theorists have long defended stigmatized sexual desires and behaviors by demonstrating how they are either fundamentally harmless or have some higher political, psychological, or social value. While such defenses may be useful in combatting homophobia, the mandate that sex be either benign or virtuous has impeded our ability to apprehend the nuance and variety of the things that turn us on and get us off. Queer Pleasure Without Apology refuses this mandate, approaching stigmatized sex with curiosity rather than judgment. Greg Goldberg examines his own "bad" desires and behaviors-from anonymous sex to fetishization to playing games-to show how critics keep getting them wrong. Heady and humorous, Queer Pleasure Without Apology challenges us to think about sex in a way that is as playful and perplexing as sex itself.

Unscripting The Present - The Security Panic Of Queer Youth Sexuality

de Timothy Gitzen

~~50,28€~~ 45,25€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Interrogates contemporary sex panics in the United States, looking especially at popular culture texts to conceptualize queer youth survival strategies.Sex panics saturate contemporary discourse and politics in the United States. While such panics have a long history, they are now infused with rhetoric, logics, and methods of security that turn queer sexuality into an existential crisis. Queer youth bear the brunt of this crisis, with their presumed innocence always in danger of being lost. Unscripting the Present interweaves analysis of laws and lawsuits, news media, sociological studies, and popular culture both to understand contemporary sex panics and to highlight how queer youth find ways to survive in the here and now. Developing a novel technique of "unscripting," Timothy Gitzen focuses our attention on those impromptu moments when things go awry in representations of queer youth-moments that disrupt securitization''s social "scripts." Foregoing well-worn promises of things getting better, texts such as Netflix''s Sex Education, the film Love, Simon, and the multimodal show Skam upend the anxious hyperfocus on what''s to come in favor of a hopeful present.

Doubly Erased - Lgbtq Literature In Appalachia

de Allison E. Carey

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A wide-ranging overview of contemporary literary works by LGBTQ Appalachians with a focus on LGBTQ themes and characters.The first book of its kind, Doubly Erased is a comprehensive study of the rich tradition of LGBTQ themes and characters in Appalachian novels, memoirs, poetry, drama, and film. Appalachia has long been seen as homogenous and tradition-bound. Allison E. Carey helps to remedy this misunderstanding, arguing that it has led to LGBTQ Appalachian authors being doubly erased-routinely overlooked both within United States literature because they are Appalachian and within the Appalachian literary tradition because they are queer. In exploring motifs of visibility, silence, storytelling, home, food, and more, Carey brings the full significance and range of LGBTQ Appalachian literature into relief. Dorothy Allison''s Bastard Out of Carolina and Alison Bechdel''s Fun Home are considered alongside works by Maggie Anderson, doris davenport, Jeff Mann, Lisa Alther, Julia Watts, Fenton Johnson, and Silas House, as well as filmmaker Beth Stephens. While primarily focused on 1976 to 2020, Doubly Erased also looks back to the region''s literary "elders," thoughtfully mapping the place of sexuality in the lives and works of George Scarbrough, Byron Herbert Reece, and James Still.

Resist, Organize, Build - Feminist And Queer Activism In Britain And The United States During The Long 1980s

51,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Juxtaposes feminist and queer activism in Britain and the United States in the face of resurgent conservatism during the 1980s.The 1980s was a period of political and social tumult in Britain and the United States. Facing resurgent conservative forces, feminist and queer activists organized in ways that not only resisted conservative hegemony but also helped to forge new communities, communications, and futures. Resist, Organize, Build casts new light on grassroots campaigns in Britain and the US, looking at feminist and queer work on university campuses, within anti-racist and anti-imperialist movements, in reframing the family, reproduction, and health, and in the establishment of new magazines, book series, and publishing houses. The collection brings together emerging and established scholars to position historical work on the two national contexts side by side, drawing out similarities and differences. Taking care to center historically marginalized voices, the collection gives students and scholars insight into and examples of the work of activist groups in a time that has many resonances with our own.

Djinn

de Tofik Dibi

29,08€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The gripping memoir of a young man''s struggle with his sexuality and Muslim identity, culminating in his rise to the Dutch Parliament.From a young age, Tofik Dibi feels "it"-a spirit, or djinn, that follows him everywhere. Where "it" goes, "they" go-his classmates, his colleagues, all the people who fear and hate "it," his homosexuality.The son of Moroccan immigrants, Dibi was elected to the Dutch Parliament in 2006 at just twenty-six years old. During his six years in office, he fought for the equal rights of Dutch Muslims against a political elite that cast them as misogynists, homophobes, and, after 9/11, terrorists. But Dibi himself never came out publicly as queer-until he wrote Djinn. A bestseller upon its publication in Dutch in 2015, it tells the poignant, at times heartbreaking, story of Dibi''s coming-of-age as a gay Muslim man with humor and grace. From his Amsterdam childhood to his experiences in New York City clubs and internet chatrooms to his unlikely political ascent, Djinn explores contemporary issues of race, religion, sexuality, and human rights in and beyond Europe. Yet it also promises readers who may not see themselves reflected in popular culture-like Dibi as a young man-an all-too-rare sense of visibility and recognition.

Because We Are Human - Contesting Us Support For Gender And Sexuality Human Rights Abroad

de Cynthia Burack

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Offers a complete empirical account of US government programs, policies, and interventions outside the United States on behalf of the human rights of LGBTQ people.Finalist for the 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the LGBT category Around the world, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people continue to be threatened, attacked, arrested, tortured, and sometimes executed just for being sexual or gender minorities. Since the final months of the Clinton administration, agencies and officials of the US government have been engaging in programs and projects whose stated purposes are to serve goals of justice and equity for LGBTQ people outside the United States. Because We Are Human gives readers an inside look at US sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) human rights assistance programs. Cynthia Burack explores settings where indigenous and transnational human rights advocates meet to fund and strategize SOGI human rights movements. This book also examines key arguments against these programs, policies, and interventions that originate on both the conservative right and the progressive academic left. Burack ultimately recommends support for a US commitment to SOGI human rights and programs that serve the needs of LGBTQ people.

de Craig M. Loftin

51,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An analysis of unpublished letters to the first American gay magazine reveals the agency, adaptation, and resistance occurring in the gay community during the McCarthy era.Finalist for the 2013 Over the Rainbow Selection presented by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table (GLBTRT) of the American Library Association In this compelling social history, Craig M. Loftin describes how gay people in the United States experienced the 1950s and early 1960s, a time when rapidly growing gay and lesbian subcultures suffered widespread discrimination. The book is based on a remarkable and unique historical source: letters written to ONE magazine, the first openly gay publication in the United States. These letters, most of which have never before been published, provide extraordinary insight into the experiences, thoughts, and feelings of gay men and lesbians nationwide, especially as they coped with the anxieties of the McCarthy era. The letters reveal how gay people dealt with issues highly relevant to LGBT life today, including job discrimination, police harassment, marriage, homophobia in families, and persecution in churches and the military. Loftin shows that gay men and lesbians responded to intolerance and bigotry with resilience, creativity, and an invigorated belief in their right to live their lives as gay men and lesbians long before this was accepted and considered safe. Groundbreaking chapters address gay marriage and family life, international gay activism, and how antigay federal government policies reverberated throughout the country.

Intersex Matters - Biomedical Embodiment, Gender Regulation, And Transnational Activism

de David A. Rubin

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Analyzes intersex debates through a queer feminist, intersectional, and transnational lens.Intersex Matters analyzes the medicalization of people diagnosed as "intersex," which is an umbrella term for individuals born with sexual anatomies various societies deem to be nonstandard. Through an examination of medico-scientific, scholarly, political, and popular archives from the mid-twentieth century to the present, Rubin argues that the medical regulation of atypical sex is fundamentally a feminist and a queer issue, and an intersectional and transnational one as well. Critical attention to intersex lives, bodies, narratives, and activisms profoundly reconfigures contemporary paradigms of sex/gender, race, health, normality, biopolitics, and human rights. Rubin charts the emergence of intersex rights activism in the global north and global south, thus demonstrating the value of understanding intersex experience when rethinking the vicissitudes of body politics in a globally interconnected world.

Organizing For Transgender Rights - Collective Action, Group Development, And The Rise Of A New Social Movement

de Anthony J. Nownes

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Illuminates transgender activists'' successful strategies to organize for social and political change in the US.In recent years, gender-variant people-including those we now call transgender people-have won public policy victories that had previously seemed unwinnable: the American Psychiatric Association replaced the term "gender identity disorder" with "gender dysphoria" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the Department of Justice announced that discrimination on the basis of gender identity constituted sex discrimination, and the Department of Health and Human Services decided that it would no longer stop Medicare from covering gender reassignment surgery. What accounts for these and other victories? Anthony J. Nownes argues that a large part of the answer lies in the rise of transgender rights interest groups in the United States. Drawing on firsthand accounts from the founders and leaders of these groups, Organizing for Transgender Rights not only addresses how these groups mobilized and survived but also illuminates a path to further social change. Nownes shows how oppressed and marginalized people can overcome the barriers to collective action and form viable organizations to represent their interests even when their government continues to be hostile and does not.

Tough Love - Sexuality, Compassion, And The Christian Right

de Cynthia Burack

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Exposes how ex-gay and post-abortion ministries operate on a shared system of thought and analyzes their social implications.A staple of the culture wars, the struggle between Christian conservatives and progressives over sexuality and reproductive rights continues. Focusing on ex-gay ministries geared to helping same-sex attracted people resist their sexuality and postabortion ministries dedicated to leading women who have had an abortion to repent that decision, Cynthia Burack argues that both are motivated and characterized by a strain of compassion that is particular to Christian conservatism rather than a bias and hatred toward sexual minorities and sexually active women. This compassion reproduces the sexual ideology of the Christian right and absolves Christian conservatives from responsibility for stigma and other forms of harm to postabortive and same-sex attracted people. Using the democratic theory of Hannah Arendt, the popular fiction of Ayn Rand, and the psychoanalytic thought of Melanie Klein, Burack studies the social and political effects of Christian conservative compassion.

Oklahomo - Lessons In Unqueering America

de Carol Mason

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Uses the state of Oklahoma as a case study for how US conservatives have attempted to unqueer America since the 1950''s.By exploring the scandal-filled lives of four Oklahomans, this book demonstrates how unqueering operates in a conservative American context. Carol Mason weaves a story about how homogenizing, antigay ideas evolve from generation to generation so that they achieve particular economic, imperial, racial, and gendered goals. Using engaging and accessible commentary on antigay crusaders (Sally Kern and Anita Bryant) and two queer teachers dismissed from their positions (Billy James Hargis and Bruce Goff), Mason illustrates how the lives of these figures represent paradigmatic moments in conservative confrontations with queers and help us to understand the conflation of terrorism with homosexuality, which dates back to the McCarthy era.

Politics Of Right Sex - Transgressive Bodies, Governmentality, And The Limits Of Trans Rights

de Courtenay W. Daum

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Examines the limitations of rights-based mobilization and litigation for advancing the interests of trans individuals in the contemporary United States.While the growing attention to trans rights and the development of trans-specific interest groups suggest that the time is right for a trans rights movement akin to prior civil rights movements, The Politics of Right Sex explores the limitations of rights-based mobilization and litigation for advancing the interests of trans communities. Synthesizing critical theory, transgender studies, and extant law and society research, Courtenay W. Daum argues that trans individuals, particularly those situated at the intersection of gender, race, class, and immigration status, are regulated by myriad forces of governmentality that work to maintain the sex and gender binaries and associated power hierarchies. Because many informal practices and norms are located beyond the reach of civil rights laws, a trans politics of rights may produce some modest legal and legislative reforms but will not eliminate the disciplinary forces that work to subject trans individuals. It will also privilege those who are able to conform with dominant gender norms at the expense of the interests of those individuals who are gender nonconforming, gender queer, trans people of color, and others unable or unwilling to embrace a transnormative presentation of self and/or lifestyle. In order to disrupt the dominant discourse and hierarchical power arrangements in pursuit of collective liberation for all as opposed to rights for some, The Politics of Right Sex advocates for a more confrontational approach that directly engages and challenges the hegemonic power structures that govern and discipline trans individuals.

Sin, Sex, And Democracy - Antigay Rhetoric And The Christian Right

de Cynthia Burack

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Explores the Christian Right's use of tailored rhetorics to advance multiple and varied antigay political projects.While the Christian Right has spearheaded a variety of antigay projects over the past fifteen years, including interventions in public schools, antigay-rights initiatives, and support for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, observers of the institutionalized Christian Right have also noted a softening of antigay public rhetoric. Sin, Sex, and Democracy analyzes these two ostensibly conflicting phenomena. Examining Christian witnessing tracts, the ex-gay movement, and recent linkages between gays and terrorists, Cynthia Burack argues that as the Christian Right has become a more sophisticated interest group, leaders have become adept at tailoring different messages for mainstream audiences and for the internal pedagogical processes of Christian conservatives. Understanding the rhetoric and the theological convictions that lie behind them, Burack claims, is essential to better understand how American politics work and how to effectively respond to exclusionary forms of political thought and practice.
