Description
Book SynopsisThis exciting collection of new work proposes a major paradigm shift in debates on sexuality: a shift away from discourse, identity and signification, to a radical new conception of bodily materialism.
Trade ReviewThis is a brilliant and well-timed collection of state-of-the-arts essays. It conclusively proves that queerness has to do not only with identity politics and performative stances, but also with material and collective experiments with radical otherness and un-programmed intensity. -- Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished Professor and Director of the Centre for the Humanities at Utrecht University and Honorary Professor at Birkbeck College London
