Shame : A Genealogy of Queer Practices in the 19th Century Paperback / softback
by Bogdan Popa
Part of the Taking on the Political series
Paperback / softback
Description
Shame has often been considered a threat to democratic politics, and was used to degrade and debase sex radicals and political marginals.
But certain forms of shame were also embraced by 19th-century activists in an attempt to reverse entrenched power dynamics. Bogdan Popa brings together Ranciere's techniques of disrupting inequality with a queer curiosity in the performativity of shame to show how 19th-century activists denaturalised conventional beliefs about sexuality and gender.
This study fills a glaring absence in political theory by undertaking a genealogy of radical queer interventions that predate the 20th century.
