However, with this greater visibility has come not only power but also regulation, both for and against trans people. What was once considered an unusual or even unfortunate disorder has become an accepted articulation of the embodiment of gender, as well as a new space for activism and political recognition. What happened in recent decades to drive such an extensive rethinking of our understanding of gender embodiment? How did a stigmatized identity become so central to subjective articulations in the United States and Europe? And how have people responded to the new definitions?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Egales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57058967781720,"sku":"LIB-TR-EG-771","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788417319328.jpg?v=1775499012"},{"product_id":"female-masculinity","title":"Female Masculinity","description":"\u003cp\u003eMasculinity without men. In Female Masculinity Judith Halberstam takes aim at the protected status of male masculinity and shows that female masculinity has offered a distinct alternative to it for well over two hundred years. Providing the first full-length study on this subject, Halberstam catalogues the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from nineteenth-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag king performances. Through detailed textual readings as well as empirical research, Halberstam uncovers a hidden history of female masculinities while arguing for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories that would incorporate rather than pathologise them. She rereads Anne Lister's diaries and Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness as foundational assertions of female masculine identity. She considers the enigma of the stone butch and the politics surrounding butch\/femme roles within lesbian communities. She also explores issues of transsexuality among \"transgender dykes\"-lesbians who pass as men-and female-to-male transsexuals who may find the label of \"lesbian\" a temporary refuge.Halberstam also tackles such topics as women and boxing, butches in Hollywood and independent cinema, and the phenomenon of male impersonators. Female Masculinity signals a new understanding of masculine behaviours and identities, and a new direction in interdisciplinary queer scholarship. Illustrated with nearly forty photographs, including portraits, film stills, and drag king performance shots, this book provides an extensive record of the wide range of female masculinities. And as Halberstam clearly demonstrates, female masculinity is not some bad imitation of virility, but a lively and dramatic staging of hybrid and minority genders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57791913197912,"sku":"9780822322436","price":24.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9780822322436.jpg?v=1784831602"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.it\/en\/collections\/libros-jack-halberstam.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
