Opis

This book analyses contemporary gay "pig" masculinities, which have emerged alongside antiretroviral therapies, online porn, and new sexualised patterns of recreational drug use, examining how they trouble modern European understandings of the male body, their ethics, and their political underpinnings.

Recenzje

"In his study of the abject use to which bodies are joyously put by gay male sex pigs, João Florêncio extends the future-oriented strand of queer theory in new directions and toward "unknown islands" of "unforeseen pleasures," by suggesting that such horizons of queer masculine self-invention and solidarity might be located no place other than right there in the trough."
