Robin Truth Goodman is Professor of English at Florida State University, USA. Her many previous publications include Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020), The Bloomsbury Handbook of 21st Century Feminist Theory (Bloomsbury, 2019); Promissory Notes: On the Literary Conditions of Debt (2018); Gender for the Warfare State: Literature of Women in Combat (2017); and Literature and the Development of Feminist Theory (2016).

In the age of gender diversity, with fluidity and positivity often tied to identity “security,” gendering becomes a logistical matter, part and parcel of capitalist productions on scales both private and planetary. Now, wholly catastrophic, sweetly vampiric “commodification” is the code Robin Truth Goodman cracks here with a retro-futural vision, where a good old Marx meets a “choice” feminist meets a transgender YouTube star meets a Rosa (Luxemburg) 2.0., where hope remains radically relevant.
