First off, I've never encountered a book taking a diamat and hismat take on any LGBTQIA issues, usually its some sociology book that tries to be very nonpolitical or some old libby book like something by Foucault. I love how it goes into hidden history, stories of gender nonconforming people fighting for their existence/class from antiguity and how bigotry is based on class division. The author realizes terminology changes and mentions this in the title, just the pure awareness to time is a breath of fresh airInteresting the party ze was in is still active and behind that banned covid19 book.
Highly recommend to any comrade, but this really hit personally being trans and gay.
Also, anything similar?
PS: The copy I found needs to be optimized for easier reading on tablets or other slow devices.
The religious zelot kicking the shit out of limeys probably wasn't transgender, saying that makes people think going to war and cutting your hair isn't feminine
Okay but what about Joan literally refusing to wear women's clothing under threat of torture?
why did she say she preferred "men's" clothing? Why can't a man wear high heels if he is short etc etc
I haven't read it I was referring to Maria Bramovic's telling in figuring. But I think it's like what Sakai said about Bruce Lee, the actual content of the figure isn't nearly as important as your ability to feel empowered by them. A lot of people feel empowered by a trans reading of the Joan of Arc myth so might as well vibe. Not like any trans people are let into the academy aside from pink washed gender studies programs and a few hard scientists.
I don't got much to say other than I really liked this book, learning how much LGBTQIA history has been buried was super interesting. Joan of Arc connection with the downtrodden and the bit about Halloween super cool.
I know I'm over a week later but you'll enjoy my necromancy. Anything by Jasbir Puar, Jack and Judith Halberstam, Jose Munoz, Judith Butler (last but not least). These aren't necessarily hismat diamat intentionally like Feinberg's work, but they're very founded academically and escape that crank Foucault.
Puar looks interesting, thanks. Its Judith Halberstam, she's one person.
