Kadji Amin

Disturbing Attachments

Genet, Modern Pederasty, and Queer History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kadji Amin challenges the idealization of Jean Genet as a paradigmatic figure within queer studies to illuminate the methodological dilemmas at the heart of queer theory, bringing the genealogy of Genet's imaginaries of attachment to bear on pressing issues within contemporary queer politics and scholarship, including prison abolition, homonationalism, and pinkwashing.
