Book, Apartment on Uranus, One: chronicles of the crossing [LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. With a lucid and furious radicality that demolishes any conservative and normative notion, An Apartment on Uranus offers the reader an essential collection of Paul B. Preciado's thoughts. “I am not a man. I'm not a woman. I'm not heterosexual. I'm not homosexual. I'm not bisexual either. I am a dissident of the sex-gender system. I am the multiplicity of the cosmos enclosed in a binary political and epistemological regime screaming before you.” One of the most radical and indispensable thinkers today, Paul B. Preciado presents here a selection of his “chronicles of the crossing”. Produced in the last decade, most of them in hotel rooms or airports, the texts follow her gender transition process and can be read as a diary of this transition. With his brilliant writing, the Spanish philosopher analyzes central contemporary processes of political, cultural and sexual mutation, such as new forms of male violence, the harassment of trans children, Trump's United States, the technological appropriation of the womb and sex work. A courageous, transgressive and urgent book that defends, above all, the freedom of bodies and subjectivities.
