Queer: A Graphic History (häftad, eng)

''Queer: A Graphic History Could Totally Change the Way You Think About Sex and Gender'' ViceActivist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules 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.Presented in a brilliantly engaging and witty style, this is a unique portrait of the universe of queer thinking.
