Is there anything better, a more hopeful promise, than the longed-for, claimed, and finally conquered normality? The chimera of normality, understood as a specific way of consumption, has become an obstacle to social and class struggles. The desire to assimilate to that \"normal,\" to go unnoticed, has silenced dissidences and ways of life far from the capitalist productive and reproductive system in the debate. In contrast, we should be able to claim more than ever other ways of life that invite the whole society to transform itself from the margins, to \"amariconarse,\" to revolutionize affections, care, and also pleasures. An alternative path, a collective horizon that does not discard realities discordant with a society whose epicenter is the nuclear and cishetero family. Christo Casas, journalist and anthropologist, presents in Maricas malas a text halfway between essay and personal narrative in which we will discover that queer struggles are a claim that concerns us all, a true social and class battle to build a collective future from dissidence. A lucid essay that constitutes a true invitation to the whole society to dive into its own dissident practices and take pride in them. REVIEWS: \"LGTBIAQ+ culture, streetwise, furtive, uncomfortable, carnal, defiant, perverse, nocturnal, sick, and deeply beautiful, has undergone a process of gentrification, half academic, half institutional, that has diminished our power and stolen our once very powerful ways of collectivizing. Since Paco Vidarte, we have lacked a grip to structure that love and poetic violence to vindicate ourselves as a wonderful otherness. Christo Casas has come to solve that lack with his Maricas malas.\" Alana S. Portero, author of La mala costumbre \"Maricas malas is a displacement that makes us see the useful, revolutionary, and joyful potential of 'amariconar' the world, not only for LGTBI people. An honest, raw, and generous argument about the destructive potential for the chains that bind everyone.\" Ignacio Elpidio Domínguez, author of Se vende diversidad \"Christo Casas has written an (un)worthy continuation of that Ética marica that came to shake the assimilationist comfort in which LGTBI activism has gotten used to settling after the approval of laws, but mobilizing the hope that this time history can be written differently. Resuming the utopian and radical proposals of the liberation fronts of the seventies, while declaring a class war without quarter on normality, this book redistributes 'mariconeo' as an emancipatory promise in which all people will find a crack of freedom to handle.\" Ira Hybris, queer Marxist activist","brand":"Paidós","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55302216057176,"sku":"LIB-MA-ED-64","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/maricas-malas-construir-un-futuro-colectivo-desde-la-disidencia-9039133.jpg?v=1761780331","url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/products\/maricas-malas-construir-un-futuro-colectivo-desde-la-disidencia","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
