Este libro comprende una colección de dieciocho ensayos que abordan temas que van desde el feminismo hasta cuestiones sobre la masculinidad, desde la prosa hasta la poesía, desde la literatura escrita hasta el cine. La disposición de los ensayos en tres partes diferenciadas debe verse desde un cierto ángulo irónico: lo femenino y lo masculino se interconectan, fusionan y chocan a menudo en la vida y en el texto, y ninguna selección de temas críticos puede evitar el permanente rebote de género y marcas sexuales. Las dos primeras secciones tienden hacia el híbrido de la tercera parte, hacia un territorio abierto de conflictos ideológicos y corporales, de emoción y materia, raza y religión, cuestiones que siguen ejerciendo una poderosa influencia en nuestras actuales actuaciones como seres humanos.
This book comprises a collection of eighteen essays that address topics ranging from feminism to issues on masculinity, from prose to poetry, from written literature to the cinema. The arrangement of the essays in three differentiated parts should be viewed from a certain ironic angle: the feminine and the masculine interconnect, fuse, and collide often in life and in text, and no selection of critical topics can avoid the permanent bouncing of gender and sexual marks. The first two sections tend towards the hybrid of the third part, into an open territory of ideological and body conflicts, of emotion and matter, race and religion, issues that continue to exert a powerful influence on our current performances as human beings.
