En Criaturas salvajes, Jack Halberstam plantea una historia alternativa de la sexualidad, analizando cómo lo salvaje se ha asociado con lo queer y con los cuerpos queer a lo largo del siglo XX. Halberstam teoriza lo salvaje como un espacio ilimitado e impredecible que aporta formas de oponerse a las llamadas al orden de la modernidad. Lo salvaje desvela las taxonomías normativas de la sexualidad a las que se oponen las prácticas y las políticas queer radicales. A lo largo del libro, Halberstam explora una amplia variedad de textos, prácticas e imaginarios culturales, desde los zombis, la cetrería, Zong! de M. NourbeSe Philip, hasta Donde viven los monstruos de Maurice Sendak y la carrera del revolucionario anticolonial irlandés Roger Casement, para demostrar que lo salvaje nos aporta los medios para conocer formas de vida que transgreden las nociones euroamericanas del sujeto liberal moderno. Con Criaturas salvajes, Halberstam presenta nuevas posibilidades para la teoría queer y para el pensamiento salvaje en general

Work Description

In Wild Things Jack Halberstam offers an alternative history of sexuality by tracing the ways in which wildness has been associated with queerness and queer bodies throughout the twentieth century. Halberstam theorizes the wild as an unbounded and unpredictable space that offers sources of opposition to modernity's orderly impulses. Wildness illuminates the normative taxonomies of sexuality against which radical queer practice and politics operate. Throughout, Halberstam engages with a wide variety of texts, practices, and cultural imaginaries—from zombies, falconry, and M. NourbeSe Philip's Zong! to Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and the career of Irish anticolonial revolutionary Roger Casement—to demonstrate how wildness provides the means to know and to be in ways that transgress Euro-American notions of the modern liberal subject. With Wild Things , Halberstam opens new possibilities for queer theory and for wild thinking more broadly.
