This work is essential for feminist and queer thought. In it, Teresa de Lauretis delves into the concept of "perversion" to redefine lesbian desire, which has traditionally been erased or pathologized by mainstream theory. In this edition, the translation is by Javier Sáez del Álamo and the illustration is by Dani Rabaza, whose visual intervention dialogues with the conceptual axes of the text.
In this analysis, she proposes that fantasy, fetishism, and desire are not deviations but fundamental elements that structure the sexuality of women who love women.
A work that not only challenges heteronormative narratives but also offers an original model to understand lesbian subjectivity and desire.
"De Lauretis encourages feminists to destabilize the normativity of dominant forms of sexual identity."
—Rosi Braidotti
