Anarchism & Sexuality

<p><em>Anarchism & Sexuality</em> aims to bring the rich and diverse traditions of anarchist thought and practice into contact with contemporary questions about the politics and lived experience of sexuality. Both in style and in content it is conceived as a book that aims to question subvert and overflow authoritarian divisions between the personal and political; between sexual desires categorised as heterosexual or homosexual; between seemingly mutually exclusive activism and scholarship; between forms of expression such as poetry and prose; and between disciplinary categories of knowledge. <em>Anarchism & Sexuality</em> seeks to achieve this by suggesting connections between ethics relationships and power three themes that run throughout. The key objectives of the book are: to bring fresh anarchist perspectives to debates around sexuality; to make a queer and feminist intervention within the most recent wave of anarchist scholarship; and to make a queerly anarchist contribution to social justice literature policy and practice. By mingling prose and poetry theory and autobiography it constitutes a gathering place to explore the interplay between sexual and social transformation.This book will be of use to those interested in anarchist movements cultural studies critical legal theory gender studies and queer and sexuality studies.</p>
