Beyond Masculinity. Essays by queer men on gender and politics – das sieht verdammt gut aus: Schickes Design, Kommentar- und Suchfunktion, und sowohl auf der Website als auch als PDF lesbar; außerdem sind die Texte als MP3 und Podcast erhältlich. Wow! Und das Thema ist auch spannend, es geht nämlich um Männlichkeiten im Kontext progressiver Geschlechter- und Sexualitätenpolitik.
Beyond Masculinity is a groundbreaking collection of 22 provocative essays on sexuality, gender, and politics — all written by gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer men. Part audiobook, part-blog, and part-anthology, brings together a smart, diverse group of queer male writers all critically examining maleness and the construction of masculinity and gender norms for men. Contributions focus on five key areas: Desire, Sex and Sexuality; Negotiating Identities; Queer Feminist Politics; Beyond Binary Gender; and Transforming Masculinity.
