Portero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Lovers are the bodies that smile before eating, that look into the eyes before kissing. Their drive is oriented toward intersubjective encounter, and therefore exists in the ethical dimension. Loving bodies desire to overthrow the racializing and patriarchal heterosexual system because they want to erase in the other’s gaze the ghost of violence experienced before the encounter between loving bodies. The loving bodies, subjects of this book, long for the joy of those they love and are frustrated by the inheritance of a symbolic world that assaults and limits their capacity for attention. Because they smile before eating and look into the eyes before kissing, they do not desire the other’s masquerade, they find no rest in the rehearsed and complacent joy of gender, they yearn for encounter through a hope for more truthful communication. Because their drive exists in the ethical dimension, because it is practiced intersubjectively, the loving bodies, above all, will wish they have loved well.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirmed as one of the great revelations of contemporary Spanish literature with Lo que hay and La seducción, Sara Torres signs an essay that seeks a way to think beyond heterosexual binarism. With the purpose of slimming down the images and ideas that initiate us into the human culture of the body and sexuality in the West, the author seeks joyful practices that progressively move away from what she calls the “hetero-real fantasy,” an identity fantasy based on a battle between opposites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Eros, the archer, tenses her body and in that tension, initiates the sexual.

Sara Torres has such a unique, diamond-like voice... and I love that writing. She carves thoughts, images.

In it, several women eat, drink, and love dressed in corsets, hats, and long skirts. Sometimes, they wear men's suits or travel by boat with their petticoats, pose in the countryside while on a picnic, photograph their walks or rituals, making their everyday life something valuable. Its author, Theresa Parker Babb, is practically a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuerida Theresa recovers and publishes these fascinating photographs for the first time, taken between 1898 and 1901. And it does so accompanied by five fictional texts written based on them. Querida Theresa does not view the photography as a historical document that tells us about the lives of these women, but as the manifestation of the authorship of an artist who today dialogues with others: Marta Jiménez Serrano, Sara Torres, Rosario Villajos, Pilar Bellver, and Valeria Mata.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe writers carry out a brilliant exercise of imagination, filling the lost gaps of history with different unpublished stories that talk about photography, impossible loves or hidden loves, family secrets, or, in general, everyday life in the town of Camden (Maine) at the end of the 19th century, where Theresa’s photographs take place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comisura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57136088318296,"sku":"LIB-QU-CO-895","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788409435272.jpg?v=1776551182"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/collections\/sara-torres.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
