Femmephilia

“Femmephilia collects seventeen of Sophie Lewis’ essays, drenched in excessive, decorative, provocative, seductive prose, devoted to expansive communist femme-inism, founded in the distinction between insurrectionist femme-ness and supposedly natural, normative femininity. The essays are a gorgeous, enthralling, essential addition to our collective intellectual, political and aesthetic wardrobe.“ —Lisa Duggan, author of Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed “Femmephilia—in the grand tradition of Joan Nestle, Amber Hollibaugh, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Raechel Anne Jolie, and Tourmaline—is a sublimely rendered paean to the sparkly, bold lip-wearing, gender mercurial, world-breaking, world-making, radical multitudinousness of femme. Brilliantly warping and weaving personal reflection and cultural criticism, each essay in Lewis’ florilegium dazzles with its deconstruction of the mechanisms and machinations of femmephobia, while making a powerful case for us all to be femmephiles (and, bear with me, unabashed ‘octophiles’).” —Lucie Fielding, therapist, sex educator, and author of Trans Sex: Nurturing Trans Erotic Embodiment and Gender-Pleasure “Sophie Lewis’s love letters to the femmes at the heart of femme-inism are fun, sad, erudite, full of longing and urgency. Whether she is reminding us of Marilyn Monroe’s intellect, rewriting the story of Daphne, transing mermaids, cruising utopia with Monique Wittig or writing about octopus sex, she is funny, irreverent, and sharp as newly manicured nails. This is the right moment for a book of essays on the pleasures, the potential and the awesome power of femininity.” —Jack Halberstam, author of Anarchitecture After Everything “What better time than an emergency to join Sophie Lewis in ‘squinting at’ and struggling for the femmunist horizon. In that lush future, we’ll work little and care often. The disrespectable, the soft, the creaturely—all are welcome.” —Heather Berg, author of Porn Work: Sex, Labor, and Late Capitalism “In the lush and provocative Femmephilia, Sophie Lewis approaches femmeness as a sexuality. By this I mean they ask what would happen if we prioritized pleasure, sex, and care over work, productivity, and capitalism. Drawing on an eclectic archive of femmes and femme positions, Lewis illuminates the hidden structures of femme phobia while offering glimpses into what living in femmeness—regardless of gender!— might look like. For Lewis, it is the femme embrace of excess that offers a way through the muck of the world. And there, most delightfully, we find desire, wetness, and fucking.” —Amber Jamilla Musser, author of Between Shadows and Noise: Sensation, Situatedness, and the Undisciplined "Sophie Lewis is sharp, bold, compassionate and fearless.” —Amia Srinivasan, author of The Right to Sex

Donne di destra. La politica delle donne addomesticate

Le donne di destra sono come personaggi estratti da un mazzo di carte da gioco: si riconoscono a partire da un seme codificato da regole apparentemente immutabili. Ordine, sicurezza, famiglia, rispetto della differenza sessuale sono le parole d'ordine con cui la destra seduce le donne, manipolando le loro paure e mettendole al servizio della riproduzione del sistema patriarcale. Ma perché le donne scivolano a destra, lasciandosi conquistare da promesse che puntualmente le tradiranno? Per quale motivo non smettiamo di imbatterci in donne che aderiscono all'antifemminismo elevato a sistema, come se ne andasse della loro salvezza? Lucida e intransigente, la voce di Dworkin ci raggiunge come un antidoto al pessimismo incarnata dalle donne di destra. Perché «il patriarcato non è un destino, non è una natura. È un'organizzazione sociale che può essere cambiata». Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E.
