Living a Feminist Life / Sara Ahmed

Public ISBD Titre : Living a Feminist Life Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs et autres personnes : Sara Ahmed (1969-), Auteur Edition : 2017 Editeur : Duke University Press Année : 2017 Importance : 299 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8223-6319-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Sciences humaines Sciences humaines:Sociologie, anthropologie Mots-clés : féminisme  queer  lesbien Résumé : In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work. Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique-often by naming and calling attention to problems-and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them. Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions-such as forming support systems-to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism. The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it.

Adam's Gift / Jimmy Creech

Public ISBD Titre : Adam's Gift : A Memoir of a Pastor’s Calling to Defy the Church’s Persecution of Lesbians and Gays Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs et autres personnes : Jimmy Creech, Auteur Editeur : Duke University Press Année : 2011 Importance : 376 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8223-4885-6 Note générale : Jimmy Creech, a United Methodist pastor in North Carolina, was visited one morning in 1984 by Adam, a longtime parishioner whom he liked and respected. Adam said that he was gay, and that he was leaving The United Methodist Church, which had just pronounced that “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” could not be ordained. He would not be part of a community that excluded him. Creech found himself instinctively supporting Adam, telling him that he was sure that God loved and accepted him as he was. Adam’s Gift is Creech’s inspiring first-person account of how that conversation transformed his life and ministry. Adam’s visit prompted Creech to re-evaluate his belief that homosexuality was a sin, and to research the scriptural basis for the church’s position. He determined that the church was mistaken, that scriptural translations and interpretations had been botched and dangerously distorted. As a Christian, Creech came to believe that discriminating against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people was morally wrong. This understanding compelled him to perform same-gender commitment ceremonies, which conflicted with church directives. Creech was tried twice by The United Methodist Church, and, after the second trial, his ordination credentials were revoked. Adam’s Gift is a moving story and an important chapter in the unfinished struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender civil and human rights.

The Empire of Love / Elizabeth Povinelli

Public ISBD Titre : The Empire of Love : Toward a theory of intimacy, genealogy, and carnality Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs et autres personnes : Elizabeth Povinelli, Auteur Editeur : Duke University Press Année : 2006 Importance : 285 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8223-3889-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Sciences humaines:Sociologie, anthropologie Résumé : In The Empire of Love the anthropologist Elizabeth A. Povinelli reflects on a set of ethical and normative claims about the governance of love, sociality, and the body that circulate in liberal settler colonies such as the United States and Australia. She boldly theorizes intimate relations as pivotal sites where liberal logics and aspirations absorbed through settler imperialism are manifest, where discourses of self-sovereignty, social constraint, and value converge.

Terrorist Assemblages / Jasbir K. Puar

Public ISBD Titre : Terrorist Assemblages : Homonationalism in Queer Times Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs et autres personnes : Jasbir K. Puar (1967-), Auteur Edition : 2017 Editeur : Duke University Press Année : 2007 Importance : 356 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8223-7150-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Sciences humaines:Droit, droits humains Sciences humaines:Politique, économie Mots-clés : queer  politique Index. décimale : Pastille bleue Pour les ouvrages mis dans les armoires Sciences Humaines Résumé : Ten 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.
