This wasn’t a history of queerness or queer people, but rather something akin to the historiagraphy of queer academic theories and their intersection, over time, with other emergent schools of thought like critical race theory and feminism. Accordingly, I find it hard to call it a history at all, as queer people were absent (a bit ironic, as there is an emphasis on queer is doing rather than being). The only “people” were the authors of the various theories. Told in news-bite sized text with illustrations, which helped break up the tedium of academic jargon, I struggled to be drawn in.… (plus d'informations)

Se bazzicate luoghi – fisici e/o virtuali – femministi e LGBTQIA+ è probabile che vi siate imbattutə nelle teorie queer: forse non ve ne siete nemmeno accortə, e non per colpa vostra. Infatti, le teorie queer sembrano come il prezzemolo: paiono onnipresenti e a volte ti si incastrano tra i denti senza che tu ne sia consapevole e vostro malgrado mostreranno la loro verdezza allə vostrə interlocuteri.

Il primo problema delle teorie queer e quello di essere estremamente oscure: la stragrande maggioranza dellə suə esponenti non scrive per la divulgazione e la stragrande maggioranza di noi non ha i mezzi per sbrogliare quella massa di ragionamenti filosofici.

Il secondo problema delle teorie queer sono lə detratteri che, con l’intenzione di demolirle, ne forniscono una versione ultrasemplificata da usare a proprio comodo – e parlando di una materia davvero complessa, hanno davvero gioco facile, visto che quasi nessunə ha le conoscenze per puntualizzare e di questə ancora meno avranno voglia di azzuffarsi sui social.

Queer. A Graphic History è il libro perfetto per iniziare a orientarsi tra le varie teorie queer e coloro che le hanno teorizzate. È scritto in maniera molto semplice e concisa, ma senza essere sciatto: i fumetti di Scheele aiutano la comprensione delle spiegazioni di Barker, che partono dalle fondamenta delle teorie queer fino alle nuove frontiere di riflessione, includendo anche una panoramica delle maggiori critiche.

Purtroppo per il momento è disponibile soltanto in inglese, ma posso rassicurarvi sul fatto che sia un libro di facile lettura: mi è sembrato un’ottima guida per approcciarsi alle teorie queer e allo stesso tempo un ottimo trampolino di lancio per approfondirle ulteriormente.

This book is really eye-opening. There were so many concepts i never knew existed, and now I have the basic tools to examine them in my own life!

When I first picked up this book, I thought it would be more about "this is what being gay is" type of information than about sex itself. However, the two are intrinsically linked, so I should've realized sooner.

I absolutely love the section on solo relationships. It made me think a lot about my own personal life and wants.

There is so much information to chew on, I definitely think I need some time to digest it and will need to come back for seconds (and thirds) in the future.… (plus d'informations)

I picked up this book because I absolutely love Queer: A Graphic History. After reading this, I'm excited to read more if their Graphic Guides.

There was definitely more text on the page than in Q:AGH, but this subject has a lot more nuances and contradictions than what is covered in Q:AGH, so it's understandable.

I was surprised at how much I didn't know before reading this. For example, I had never heard of polygender before, but it makes sense that it exists. I'm grateful for this guide providing me some much needed education.… (plus d'informations)
