107 kr

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

Denna bok handlar om fetischism i den sexualvetenskapliga bemärkelsen: Sexualitet där attraktion ges av något föremål bortom kön. Boken återger fetischistisk sexualitet på ett inkluderande och normmedvetet sätt. Den ger en historisk bakgrund till samhällets synsätt på fetischism och synliggör nutida sexualnormer som marginaliserar sexuella minoriteter. Boken granskar samhälleliga förhållningssätt till fetischism och belyser den sociokulturella situationen som fetischister sätts i. En medvetenhet om fetischism och nutida sexualnormer gör det möjligt att förhålla sig till sexuell mångfald i stort.

Queer Phenomenology

Orientations, Objects, Others

AvSara Ahmed

264 kr

In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear-and those that do not-as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts-by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon-with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions.

Queerteologi, typ

200 kr

Välkommen till queerteologins förunderliga värld! Kristen tro och queerhet kan vid första anblicken verka som en oväntad kombo. Men kyrkan har alltid haft queera marginaler och heliga regnbågsfärgade rum. Här finns en queerteologisk tradition av bibelverser där queers förvaltat sin relation med Gud. I den här serieboken kommer vi utforska den hemliga trädgården där queer kristen tro spirar. Och såklart gå igenom queerteologiska perspektiv på skapelsen, vad Jesus sa som är bekräftande för hbtqia-personer idag, plattmaskar, Jesajas kallelse, dinosaurie-tröjor, Gud och vad en luthersk syn på kallelse kan innebära för transpersoner. Det vill säga queerteologi, typ.

Frågan huruvida det är okej att vara gay har livligt diskuterats i kyrkan sen urminnes tider, kanske ända sen Jesus gick i kortbyxor. Är du nyfiken på hbtq-vänlig bibelläsning men inte pallar att läsa en torr tråkig avhandling om Bibelns grundtexter, Paulus samtid och romarrikets sexualetik? I så fall är det här boken för dig. I gott sällskap av räkor och filosofi-gubbar i toga går vi igenom det man behöver veta om Bibel, teologi och historia för att kunna svara på frågan om det funkar att vara kristen och homosexuell. Ja, det funkar alldeles utmärkt, häng med så får du veta hur!

Johanna Wikberg (f.-89 i Medelpad) bosatt i Göteborg, är teolog och präst i Svenska kyrkan. 2017-2021 ordförande för Riksförbundet EKHO och är en flitigt anlitad föreläsare i queerteologi och hbtq-inkluderande församlingsarbete.

‘Erudite and sumptuous’ – The New York TimesA groundbreaking, global survey of queer art, featuring more than 300 artworks made following the introduction of the term ‘homosexual’ in 1869An unprecedented and historic new book, The First Homosexuals traces the evolution of the homosexual identity through an archive of more than 300 paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, photographs, and film stills from around the world – many presented in a queer, global, and colonial context for the first time. Accompanying the works are twenty-two original, insightful essays by leading experts in art and queer history, each focusing on one geographical region – from Japan to Australia to the Indigenous populations of South America. Ranging from well-known masterpieces to works by unknown artists and pieces rarely considered in the context of sexuality, The First Homosexuals offers a stunning and illuminating look at the first self-consciously queer art.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions is a beloved queer utopian text written by Larry Mitchell with lush illustrations by Ned Asta, published by Calamus Press in 1977. Part-fable, part-manifesto, the book takes place in Ramrod, an empire in decline, and introduces us to the communities of the faggots, the women, the queens, the queer men, and the women who love women who are surviving the ways and world of men. Cherished by many over the four decades since its publication, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions offers a trenchant critique of capitalism, assimilation, and patriarchy that is deeply relevant today. This new edition will feature essays from performance artist Morgan Bassichis, who adapted the book to music with TM Davy in 2017 for a performance at the New Museum, and activist filmmaker Tourmaline.

Årets bok på QX Gaygala 2023

En utbildande och dråplig instruktionsbok om att leva som queer idag.

På tal om det: Vad betyder ens queer, varför beskylldes vår första homosexuella kung för digerdöden och hur ser villkoren ut för HBTQI-personer i andra länder? Journalisten och programledaren Edvin Törnblom blandar fakta och historia med djupt personliga berättelser om hur han formats som människa – från de allra mörkaste stunderna med mobbing och självmordsförsök till inspirerande händelser som fått honom att landa i acceptans och kärlek. Allt formulerat med Edvins unika humor, som gjort honom till en framstående röst för sin generation.

”… det är ofiltrerat, ärligt och humoristiskt … en välbehövlig storebror för den som likt Törnblom saknar hbtq-förebilder under uppväxten.” BTJ

”Den prydliga lilla boken gör det som ens mattelärare försökte göra hela högstadiet: makes learning fun. Tung och viktig (!!) fakta om hur hbtqi-personer har upplevt och fortfarande upplever förtryck blandas med Edvins träffsäkra humor och för mig till en otroligt trygg plats – en plats fylld av igenkänning.” Tidningen Ergo

Gender Trouble

Feminism and the Subversion of Identity

341 kr

Skickas

One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial.Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2019‘Richly evocative and entertaining.’ – Guardian‘A delightful read.’ – Tatler‘An essential book for anyone who wants to Polari Bona!’ – AttitudePolari is a language that was used chiefly by gay men in the first half of the twentieth century. It offered its speakers a degree of public camouflage and a means of identification. Its colourful roots are varied – from Cant to Lingua Franca to dancers’ slang – and in the mid-1960s it was thrust into the limelight by the characters Julian and Sandy, voiced by Hugh Paddick and Kenneth Williams, on the BBC radio show Round the Horne. (‘Oh hello Mr Horne, how bona to vada your dolly old eek!’) Paul Baker recounts the story of Polari with skill, humour and tenderness. He traces its historical origins and describes its linguistic nuts and bolts, explores the ways and the environments in which it was spoken, explains the reasons for its decline and tells of its unlikely re-emergence in the twenty-first century. With a cast of drag queens and sailors, Dilly boys and macho clones, Fabulosa! is an essential document of recent history – a fascinating and fantastically readable account of this funny, filthy and ingenious language.

Skickas

Anna Karin Hammars och Ninna Edgardhs kärleksresa utspelar sig mot bakgrund av en omvälvande tid i Sverige gällande samkönade relationer: från den brottsklassificering som fortfarande gällde årtiondet innan de föds, via föreställningen om ”homosexualitet” som en sjukdom fram till könsneutral äktenskapslagstiftning och samtidens stolta Pridetåg.

I boken Äkta makor delar de med sig av sina personliga resor som queerpersoner, skildrar initierat samhällets och kyrkans ibland motstridiga väg fram till en förändrad inställning till hbtq och gör också en vidare utblick med korta nedslag om situationen för hbtq-personer i andra delar av världen – och den backlash som blivit synlig under senare år. "Vi märker att yngre vänner, och särskilt sådana som inte själva tillhör hbtq-gemenskapen, vet ganska lite om historien bakom den situation vi har i Sverige idag när det gäller samkönade relationer. Det är ett skäl till att vi skriver denna bok. Barnens och barnbarnens generation behöver veta hur vi tagit oss till den punkt där vi nu befinner oss. Annars blir det svårt att försvara rättigheterna när de hotas." - ur innehållet Ninna Edgardh är präst och professor emerita i kyrkovetenskap och författare till böcker och artiklar med inriktning på kyrka, samhälle och kön. Anna Karin Hammar är präst och teologie doktor och har arbetat på många nivåer i kyrkan, både i Sverige och internationellt.

Skickas

Min berättelse handlar om att få vara den jag är, man, och att få bli det jag önskar mest: förälder.

Noah är på semester med sin pojkvän när han får beskedet. Han plussar på stickan. Han är gravid! Lyckan är total, och samtidigt kommer oron. För ingenting med den här graviditeten är som vanligt.

I 20-årsåldern landar Noah i att han är en man, även om vägen till insikten varit snårig. Alla andra har sett honom som flicka, det biologiska könet han föddes som. I vuxen ålder, är det andra tankar som snurrar. För hur vet man säkert vem man är, när längtan efter att få bli förälder är så överväldigande? Nu måste han ställa sig frågan: Går det att bära sitt eget barn och att fortsätta vara man?

Vi följer Noahs berättelse om identitet och tillblivande: från barndomstiden till dess att han finner sig själv, och från det positiva graviditetstestet till att hans son föds. Två resor sammanvävda till en, med en gemensam nämnare: Ingen kan bestämma över vem du är, förutom du själv.

BTJ ger recensionen "Mycket bra"

"[...] Pappa sjöhäst är en unik självbiografi som dessutom berättas med stor sårbarhet. Biografin är uppbyggd så att läsaren får följa den unga Noahs resa genom en barndom präglad av mobbning, utanförskap och psykisk ohälsa parallellt med berättelsen om den något äldre Noah som uppnår sitt livs dröm att bli pappa. [...] Pappa sjöhäst är en berättelse som bara ett fåtal kommer att känna igen sig i, men som långt många fler borde läsa. Genom sitt ärliga berättande skapar Noah van Dorpel ökad förståelse för de utmaningar det innebär att leva som transperson i dagens samhälle, men också ökad förståelse om vilken lycka det innebär att få bli bekräftad som den man är."

Terrorist Assemblages

Homonationalism in Queer Times

AvJasbir K. Puar

Häftad, Engelska, 2017

325 kr

Skickas

Tenth Anniversary Expanded EditionTen years on, Jasbir K. Puar’s pathbreaking Terrorist Assemblages remains one of the most influential queer theory texts and continues to reverberate across multiple political landscapes, activist projects, and scholarly pursuits. Puar argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class, and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism, and nationalism. She examines how liberal politics incorporate certain queer subjects into the fold of the nation-state, shifting queers from their construction as figures of death to subjects tied to ideas of life and productivity. This tenuous inclusion of some queer subjects depends, however, on the production of populations of Orientalized terrorist bodies. Heteronormative ideologies that the U.S. nation-state has long relied on are now accompanied by what Puar calls homonationalism-a fusing of homosexuality to U.S. pro-war, pro-imperialist agendas. As a concept and tool of biopolitical management, homonationalism is here to stay. Puar’s incisive analyses of feminist and queer responses to the Abu Ghraib photographs, the decriminalization of sodomy in the wake of the Patriot Act, and the profiling of Sikh Americans and South Asian diasporic queers are not instances of a particular historical moment; rather, they are reflective of the dynamics saturating power, sexuality, race, and politics today. This Tenth Anniversary Expanded Edition features a new foreword by Tavia Nyong’o and a postscript by Puar entitled “Homonationalism in Trump Times.” Nyong’o and Puar recontextualize the book in light of the current political moment while reposing its original questions to illuminate how Puar’s interventions are even more vital and necessary than ever.

In the Berlin of 1942, Lilly Wust was married to a soldier and was the mother of four children. Her quiet domestic life was forever changed when she met and fell in love with Jewish Felice Schragenheim. Aimee and Jaguar, as the two called one another, embarked on an ecstatic affair, exchanging letters and poems and even signing a marriage contract. After only a year, their happiness was destroyed by the Gestapo: Felice was taken away to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Lilly received a last letter from Felice in 1945. Erica Fisher has documented this extraordinary story after spending countless hours talking to 80-year-old Lilly, and to friends and acquaintances of the two women. Her account, together with a collection of photographs, is a witness to an unusual love in a time of extremes.

Secretly gay school bullies. Punks with make-up tips. Heroic hairdressers. Queer parents. Suburban pride marches. Police hassle.With nods of recognition and unexpected flirtations, chosen families and desperate escapes, this is a new way of seeing suburbia: a place where things aren't always as straightforward - or straight - as they seem.'Breaks new ground' - David Kynaston'Grindrod is one of the best chroniclers of British life' - Jude Rogers'[A] fantastically entertaining alternative history of queer life in Britain . . . Tales of the Suburbs is ultimately about what it means to call somewhere home' - GuardianThroughout LGBTQ+ history, suburbia has been seen as somewhere to escape from: a place where heterosexuality rules; where difference will not be tolerated; where you'll never find a soulmate. But for many, those streets of twitching curtains and pebble-dashed semis were - or still are - a place to call home.From Addlestone to Wilmslow, Tales of the Suburbs explores the relatively untold twentieth century tale of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in small towns and suburbia. Through remarkable archive material and original interviews, social historian John Grindrod reveals stories that are messy and moving, dark and funny, uplifting and extraordinary. Together, they reclaim suburbia as a space for all - or those that want it - where counter-cultural expression thrives despite the Neighbourhood Watch, and queer love and friendship bloom against the odds.

”Hej mamma. Jag är inte död. Jag skrev ett brev till dig, som blev en hel bok.” Eriks föräldrar kommer med begravningsfika. Tårta, kaffe och en bukett rosor. De ska ta farväl av sin son. Han sitter där livs levande, men för dem är han snart borta för alltid. Han vädjar till dem, de vädjar till honom, men de kan inte nå varandra. Det finns ingen kompromiss i det här, Erik måste få leva. Då måste han då dö för dem. Erik Engelv dödförklarades av sin familj när han kom ut som homosexuell. För ett Jehovas vittne kommer Gud före allt, även familjeband. Så han dog – och föddes på nytt. ”Jag är inte död” är Eriks kärleksförklaring. I ett slags brev till sin mamma berättar han om allt hon missar. Det är också en vacker skildring av en trygg och lycklig uppväxt i ett litet jämtländskt samhälle, skriven med en unik inblick i Jehovas vittnen. En varm gemenskap som plötsligt byts mot ett iskallt utanförskap. Men Erik är inte död, han lever sitt liv. ***** Viktig, smärtsam och vacker bok. ***** Finner inte ord men man kan nästan ta på smärtan författaren måste känna att vara levande död. ***** En utelämnande och naken berättelse. En bok alla borde läsa. All kärlek till dig Erik.

”Jag önskar att varje kollektivt trauma kunde tillägnas en sådan här bok”Dagens Nyheter

Strax efter klockan två på natten till söndagen den 12 juni 2016 kommer det första larmet. En tungt beväpnad man har klivit in genom dörren på nattklubben Pulse, någon kilometer från Orlandos centrum, och börjat skjuta, rakt in mot dansgolvet. Innan polisen hinner stoppa massakern har 49 människor mördats i den dittills dödligaste masskjutningen i USA:s historia.Berättelsen om Orlando tog snabbt form. Attentatet utfördes av en ensam islamist som riktade sitt hat mot hbtq-samhället. I skuggan av Disney World samlade sig staden för att hedra offren, de flesta unga människor ur Orlandos latinamerikanska hbtq-community. Men händelsen visade sig snart ha fler skikt än vad det först verkade.

Genom att tala med överlevande, anhöriga och andra berörda i Orlando skildrar Johan Hilton en stad och ett land tiden före, under och efter katastrofen.

”Nu släpps Vi är Orlando som tveklöst gör anspråk på topplacering gällande årets bästa fackböcker. /…/ Minnesbilder rekonstruerar förlopp och det är omtumlande, hjärtslitande läsning. Men det är också folkbildning om ett "efteråt", där kampen fortsätter. Med beundransvärd källvarsamhet visas hur sorg och smärta skapar organisering, kärlek och aktivism.”BTJ 5/5

In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

Barry Diller, one of America’s most successful businessmen, reveals himself here—his successes, failures, and struggles—with surprising candor and intimacy in a memoir rich in Hollywood lore and filled with business acumen. Writing in his singular voice, Barry Diller delivers an astute business memoir, an unvarnished look at Hollywood, a primer on media, and a surprisingly frank coming-of-age story. “I want to work in the mail room at William Morris.” So begins Diller’s show business life. Diller did not aspire to be an agent, nor was he a glove fit for William Morris, the legendary talent agency he describes as resembling a “Jewish Vatican.” But he was a good assistant and student and took it all in. Before long, Diller was offered a job at ABC. His ascent was meteoric, launching ABC TV’s Movie of the Week at age twenty-seven, becoming CEO of Paramount Pictures at age thirty-two, and launching the Fox TV network at age forty-four. Along the way, Diller oversaw the production of classic films such as Saturday Night Fever, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Home Alone (a film he credits with saving Rupert Murdoch’s career) and hit TV shows such as The Simpsons, Married…with Children, and Cops. He programmed and developed by instinct—not by research or data. Diller’s media savvy changed the course of American culture. His championing of Alex Haley’s Roots put long-form miniseries on the map. He was never cowed by the talent—actors, directors, and producers—and worked with them all. Indeed, throughout his career, Diller championed “creative conflict,” encouraging argument in every business he managed (“I’ve never thought decision-making should be peaceful,” he writes). Diller also recognized our digital future, founding IAC and growing it into a billion-dollar constellation of brands, including Match, Tinder, and Expedia. Moving beyond business, Diller recounts his family life, personal struggles, and regrets, his joyful marriage to Diane von Furstenburg, and where he has found fulfillment. Intimate, candid, and moving, Who Knew is a different kind of business memoir, one that holds nothing back.

"That said, the book is about far more than the history of photography or even historical record; it’s an act of remembrance and resistance." —AttitudeLOVING: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850s – 1950s (ISBN 9788874399284), was published in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. Despite that, the book was available in five languages, the first US printing sold out in six weeks; the response to the book was overwhelming and emotional; and five years and multiple printings later, LOVING remains a best-seller. For LOVING, the collectors drew from 2000 photographs; now, in 2025, more than 25 years after they purchased their first picture, the collection has 4000 images. It seems logical then – even necessary – to publish a new volume with all new photographs from those acquired since 2019. LOVING II continues with more stunning vintage vernacular photographs of romantic male couples, with all the emotional power of the first book in intact. This new selection continues the story of the unadulterated joy – longed for by all of us and recognisable to anyone – of being in love. As with the first LOVING, these photographs and what they convey, whether directly in an embrace or more subtly in a furtive touch, move – in fact change – those who encounter them. Indeed, anyone who has ever loved will identify with the elation – and peace – that these couples share. The collecting criteria have not changed: starting from the earliest years of photography and continuing through the 1950s, the Nini-Treadwell archive includes daguerreotypes, silver gelatins, tintypes, ambrotypes, snap shots, and many more – a historical capsule of a century of photographic technique. The subjects come from all walks of life: soldiers, farmers, students, the young and old, poor and affluent. Their creation happened between loving couples from all around the world. Each photo is the story of two told in an instant. Image credit: © Nini-Treadwell Inc.

As many make their way to mosques, for some it signals the end of another illegal gay party. Under the cover of darkness, smiles on lips and sweat on foreheads, the gays of Tehran blend back into daily life. Hidden in plain sight, they plan when and where they will meet again.In an unparalleled true story, Majid Parsa recounts how a childhood of war, prayer and obedience was upended by a teenage sexual awakening and, ultimately, pride. He lifts the heavy veil of persecution to reveal the fabulous and flamboyant gay scene right at the heart of the Islamic Republic of Iran, flourishing under the ever-present shadow of the grand Ayatollah and morality police. Eye-opening and at times laugh-out-loud funny, The Ayatollah’s Gaze is a story of self-discovery in a country where Sharia is the law.'Defiant, fabulous and filled with the nuanced challenges so many young queer people struggle to make sense of: family, faith, tradition, affection and belonging.

Book of Minor Perverts

Sexology, Etiology, and the Emergences of Sexuality

Statue-fondlers, wanderlusters, sex magicians, and nymphomaniacs: the story of these forgotten sexualities—what Michel Foucault deemed “minor perverts”—has never before been told. In The Book of Minor Perverts, Benjamin Kahan sets out to chart the proliferation of sexual classification that arose with the advent of nineteenth-century sexology. The book narrates the shift from Foucault’s “thousand aberrant sexualities” to one: homosexuality. The focus here is less on the effects of queer identity and more on the lines of causation behind a surprising array of minor perverts who refuse to fit neatly into our familiar sexual frameworks. The result stands at the intersection of history, queer studies, and the medical humanities to offer us a new way of feeling our way into the past.

Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.

Room in Bombay

Indian American author Manil Suri grew up in a large crumbling apartment in Bombay (now Mumbai) which his parents, who were Hindu, shared with three Muslim families. Their single room, at times a refuge from the religious and territorial tensions pervading the apartment, was also a prison that held them captive—his parents stuck in an unhappy marriage, the author unable to explore the dawning realization he might be gay. At age 20, Suri managed to break free and come to the US, where he finally found the freedom to embrace his sexuality and find a life partner. But the room, which still held his parents hostage, kept wrenching him back to Bombay.By now real estate prices had risen so much that neighbors had begun conspiring to take over the room, causing Suri’s parents to dig in even more. Eventually it was only his mother, Prem, left, who had staked all her happiness on her son but was unable to escape the room’s hold on her. When a rash of mysterious incidents seemed to beset the room, Suri realized how little time he had left to convince Prem that a happier life might await beyond the four walls that both enthralled and imprisoned her.This remarkable, gripping memoir explores how an abode can shape destiny, while delving into the difficult question of how much to prioritize our parents’ happiness over our own. Inspired by over 2,700 letters the author wrote home over three decades, it is ultimately a testament to the abiding, unbreakable bond tying a son to his mother.
