{"product_id":"queer-meg-john-barker-9781785780714","title":"Queer","description":"'Queer: A Graphic History Could Totally Change the Way You Think About Sex and Gender' Vice\nActivist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel.\nFrom identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged.\nAlong the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what?s ?normal? ? Alfred Kinsey?s view of sexuality as a spectrum, Judith Butler?s view of gendered behaviour as a performance, the play Wicked, or moments in Casino Royale when we?re invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media.\nPresented in a brilliantly engaging and witty style, this is a unique portrait of the universe of queer thinking.","brand":"Icon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113416450336,"sku":"9781785780714","price":14.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781785780714.jpg?v=1785205948","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/queer-meg-john-barker-9781785780714","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
