Meg-John Barker Knihy

Čtvrtá kniha družstevního nakladatelství Nevim kolektivu Tři Ocásci se zaměřuje na vztahy, lásku, konflikty a genderové role a identity. Překlad nebinární terapeutky a spisovatele Meg-John Barker, Přepisovat pravidla: Antiprůvodce láskou, sexem a vztahy, se nesnaží poskytovat dogmatické návody, ale zdůrazňuje pestrost přístupů a neexistenci jediné správné cesty. Nabízí cesty k porozumění vlastním potřebám a otevřenosti k potřebám druhých. Meg-John Barker zkoumá vztahy, lásku a sex v kontextu sociálních podmínek, ukazuje vliv patriarchálního a kapitalistického uspořádání západní společnosti. Navazuje na levicové feministické, černé a queer autorky, které demaskovaly mocenské a koloniální vzorce. Doporučuje, abychom při zkoumání vztahů pochopili, jak se v nás otiskly různé formy dominance. Kniha obsahuje cvičení, příklady, příběhy a ilustrace, které čtenáře vedou k zamyšlení a vnitřnímu prozkoumání vlastních postojů. Témata queeru, polyamorie, tělesnosti, různých sexuálních praktik a genderových identit jsou srozumitelně přiblížena široké veřejnosti.

"Activist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Julia Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel. From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged. Along the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what's 'normal'--Alfred Kinsey's view of sexuality as a spectrum, Judith Butler's view of gendered behaviour as a performance, the play Wicked, or moments in Casino Royale when we're invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media"--Publisher description
