Download or read book Sexuality and Eroticism in a Post pandemic World written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural change denominated as “the new normal” goes far beyond the adaptation to habits like physical distancing, limited person-to-person contact, teleworking, and self-isolation established with the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of significant transformations in human behavior spreads today in societies all around the world: physical intimacy decreases while virtual reality expands and alterity declines while artificial intelligence emerges, leading to structural reconfigurations of sex, relationships, gender awareness, and subjectivity. Sexuality and Eroticism in a Post-pandemic World explores this new cultural atmosphere through twelve interdisciplinary essays questioning global governmentality and challenging the biopolitics of the new normal—the administration of self-control societies so politically correct that repressed desire for otherness only finds a simulation of its satisfaction with the forced abnormality, outrageousness, and violence of mainstream porn—, going from ars erotica to alternative pornography, from online dating to gender fluidity, from LGBTQI+ artivism to sex life cultivation, and more.

Download or read book The Cosmopolitics of Solidarity written by Johanna Leinius and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses how commonality and difference are negotiated across heterogeneous social movements in Latin America, especially Peru. It applies cosmopolitics as an analytical lens to understand the intricacies of social movement encounters across difference, without imposing colonial hierarchies or categorizations. The author blends multiple theoretical approaches—such as social movement research, postcolonial feminism, and post-foundational discourse theory—with ethnographic insights to develop a theory of cosmopolitical solidarity. Providing a transnational and intersectional perspective on the politics of social justice in a postcolonial context, this book will appeal to students of social movements, gender studies, racism, Latin American studies, and international relations, as well as practitioners involved in activism, social work, or international cooperation.

Download or read book The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation written by Carlos Mendoza-Álvarez and published by Juan Manuel Escamilla González Aragón. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the temptations of the preacher is to make all conversations about grace too “nice”. But a true preacher of grace, like Carlos, knows that this does not help people grow in faith at all. In this book, Carlos continues his ambitious, multi-volume quest to make it possible to live the Christian faith authentically without either dumbing down our intelligence or forcing us into a Stockholm syndrome of speaking “well” while tamping down the realities through which we are really living. Hence, Carlos has put his nets deep into the life experiences of different groups of those who have lost, of those for whom the outrage of death is a constant reality, and who have had to learn a new language in order to speak at all. All this is in service of giving us a sense of how much of a shake-up truly theological faith in the resurrection is when it is discovered on the inside by those who have found themselves caught up in an an-archic uprising of hope. I learned much from this book. –James Alison, priest and theologian. Feast of St Dominic, 2024. The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation signals the road ahead for political and liberation theologies. We can and must place our hope in the resurrection even as the world around us continues to collapse, as the specter of global violence escalates, and as the body counts mount. This prescient, scholarly work faces directly the horrors of our time and uncovers a credible theological response among the survivors. It is a must-read. – Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Loyola Marymount University This powerful book calls us to rise up against death and senseless violence. It reclaims resurrection as a communal praxis of indomitable life. It cries out with the victims of history and remembers their radiant hopes of ecstatic transformation. It is revolutionary in the best sense of the word. – Andrew Prevot, author of The Mysticism of Ordinary Life: Theology, Philosophy and Feminism The first part of a trilogy on the idea of tradition, The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation, proposes a theology of new life from a postmodern and decolonial perspective. This investigation of the resurrection’s foundational event starts from the analysis of intersubjectivity in our times of extreme violence, based on the creative imagination deployed by the systemic victims. From this existential background, the author offers a creative reading of the Christian faith in the full life of the "Crucified One Awoke" dialoguing with the reason that arises from the social, cultural, and spiritual resistances that dismantle the violence produced by patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism colluded with sacrificial religion. It will be followed by two volumes on the theology of tradition thought as a symbolic resistance and as a political sacramentality of the new world born from the reverse side of hegemonic history where it is possible to listen to the murmur of God thanks to the persons and communities that live the messianic times as a living tradition in constant transformation containing an ethical, political and spiritual task for all humanity. Carlos Mendoza-Álvarez OP is a Mexican theologian. He holds a doctorate in Fundamental Theology from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, where he also obtained his habilitation. His work proposes a Fundamental Theology where the Phenomenology of Subjectivity, Mimetic Theory, and Decolonial Thought converge in dialogue with Social Movements from the Global South. He is a full professor in the Theology Department at Boston College. He has published eight monographs, thirty chapters in collective works, and sixty articles in scientific journals. His books include a trilogy on the idea of revelation: Deus Liberans (Fribourg, 1996), Deus absconditus (Paris, 2011), and Deus ineffabilis (Barcelona, 2015).

Download or read book LGTBIQ en el reino animal written by Jose Javier Monroy and published by José Javier Monroy. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los seres humanos han estado fascinados durante mucho tiempo por su propia sexualidad, asumiendo a menudo que es única o superior a la de otras especies. Este egocentrismo ha llevado a una falta de comprensión y reconocimiento de los diversos comportamientos sexuales en el reino animal. Sin embargo, a medida que nos adentramos más en el estudio del comportamiento animal, comenzamos a darnos cuenta de que los comportamientos LGBTQ+ no son exclusivos de los humanos, sino que son frecuentes en el mundo natural. Para apreciar plenamente la diversidad de los comportamientos sexuales en los animales, es importante reconocer primero nuestros propios sesgos y entender cómo moldean nuestras percepciones. La sexualidad humana se ve a menudo desde una perspectiva reproductiva, con un enfoque en roles binarios de género y relaciones heterosexuales. Esta perspectiva estrecha no reconoce la complejidad y fluidez que existe dentro de nuestra propia especie, y mucho menos entre otros animales. Cuando abrimos nuestras mentes y observamos la naturaleza con una mirada imparcial, descubrimos una amplia variedad de comportamientos LGBTQ+ entre diversas especies. Si bien es difícil determinar porcentajes exactos debido a la investigación limitada y las dificultades para observar poblaciones salvajes, los científicos estiman que alrededor del 20% de los animales muestran comportamientos LGBTQ+. Las relaciones lésbicas no son exclusivas de los humanos; también se pueden encontrar entre monos macacos y bonobos. Estas asociaciones entre hembras cumplen diversos propósitos dentro de sus respectivas sociedades, desde formar alianzas sólidas para protección y compartir recursos hasta satisfacer necesidades emocionales. De manera similar, las sociedades matriarcales entre elefantes y gaviotas a menudo involucran relaciones del mismo sexo entre hembras. También se pueden observar casos famosos de comportamiento lésbico en diferentes especies animales. Por ejemplo, las albatros hembra participan en rituales de cortejo del mismo sexo antes de emparejarse con parejas macho con fines reproductivos. En ciertas especies de aves como los cisnes o los pingüinos, las hembras pueden formar vínculos a largo plazo entre ellas incluso mientras participan en prácticas de apareamiento heterosexual. Pasando a los comportamientos gay (G) en los animales, podemos observar relaciones entre machos en ocasiones como gansos, leones y cisnes negros. En algunos casos, la homosexualidad está relacionada con la dominancia y la jerarquía social dentro de los grupos animales. Por ejemplo, en ciertas manadas de lobos, los machos subordinados pueden participar en apareamiento del mismo sexo como una forma de establecer vínculos sociales y obtener protección de individuos dominantes. El comportamiento homosexual no se limita a animales terrestres; también ocurre entre especies acuáticas como pingüinos y flamencos. Estas aves forman parejas del mismo sexo y participan en rituales de cortejo similares a los de las parejas heterosexuales. Algunos zoológicos incluso han presenciado cómo estas parejas crían polluelos juntas a través de la adopción de huevos o la crianza por sustitución. La exploración de la diversidad sexual también incluye a individuos que no se identifican con el género asignado al nacer, es decir, personas trans (T). Se ha descubierto que las osas polares canadienses femeninas muestran intersexualidad debido a desequilibrios hormonales causados por su dieta compuesta principalmente por focas. Esto resalta la compleja relación entre la dieta, las hormonas y el desarrollo sexual en los animales. La fluidez de género es otro aspecto del comportamiento trans que se puede observar entre los leones americanos (Puma concolor). Estos leones muestran rasgos asociados tanto con los géneros masculino como femenino, desafiando las tradicionales nociones binarias de sexo e identidad de género. La apariencia anatómica no siempre se alinea con los patrones de comportamiento cuando se trata del comportamiento trans en los animales. Hay casos en los que individuos aparentemente masculinos viven con hembras pero exhiben comportamientos femeninos o viceversa debido a dinámicas sociales o factores hormonales. Al examinar los comportamientos bisexuales (B) entre insectos como chinches, obtenemos una visión única de estrategias reproductivas que involucran prácticas de apareamiento tanto del mismo sexo como del sexo opuesto. Los lobos presentan un escenario más complejo donde la bisexualidad está influenciada por intrincadas dinámicas sociales dentro de la estructura de la manada. La intersexualidad (I) se refiere a individuos que poseen características asociadas tanto con los géneros masculino como femenino. Se ha descubierto que las osas polares canadienses femeninas muestran rasgos intersexuales, nuevamente resaltando el impacto de la dieta y los factores hormonales en el desarrollo sexual. Finalmente, exploramos los comportamientos "queer" (Q) que desafían las ideas establecidas sobre la sexualidad y el género. El comportamiento y las relaciones no binarias se pueden observar en diversas especies animales, enfatizando aún más la diversidad dentro del reino animal. Además, al observar diferentes estructuras familiares que van desde la crianza monoparental hasta la crianza comunitaria, destacamos la complejidad y flexibilidad de las dinámicas familiares entre los animales. En conclusión, nuestro viaje a través del reino animal revela un rico tapiz de comportamientos LGBTQ+ que refleja la diversidad encontrada en las sociedades humanas. Al reconocer y estudiar estos comportamientos, obtenemos una comprensión más profunda del mundo natural que nos rodea. La ciencia está evolucionando para abrazar la diversidad más allá de las normas reproductivas, reconociendo que la diversidad sexual no es exclusiva de los humanos, sino una parte integral de la vida en la Tierra.

Book excerpt: Bringing together theory and public health practice, this interdisciplinary collection analyses three forms of nonconventional or radical sexualities: bareback sex, BDSM practices, and public sex. Drawing together the latest empirical research from Brazil, Canada, Spain, and the USA, it mobilizes queer theory and poststructuralism, engaging the work of theorists such as Bataille, Butler, Deleuze and Guattari, and Foucault, among others. While the collection contributes to current research in gender and sexuality studies, it does so distinctly in the context of empirical investigations and discourses on critical public health. Radical Sex Between Men: Assembling Desiring-Machines will be of interest to advanced undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and researchers in gender and sexuality studies, sexology, social work, anthropology, and sociology, as well as practitioners in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and psychology.

Download or read book Women in Relationships with Bisexual Men written by Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Framed by a comprehensive review of international research, literature, and film, this book is an intimate journey into the experiences and insights of 79 Australian women in relationships with bisexual men. It takes us into the daily lives, sexual intimacies, and families of MOREs (mixed-orientation relationships) that span the gamut from extremely oppressive experiences with bi-misogynist men to extremely liberating with bi-profeminist men. Aged 19 to 65, the women are in monogamous, open, and polyamorous relationships with bisexual-identifying and/or bisexual-behaving men. The women themselves are bisexual, lesbian, heterosexual, while others refuse to categorize their own sexualities. The book addresses the discovery or disclosure of the man's bisexuality, how the relationships work and where they flounder, how the partners negotiate and establish 'new rules' and boundaries to maintain their relationship, and the impact of class, rural/urban setting, ethnicity, indigeneity, race, religion, and education on these relationships. But this book isn’t only about MOREs. The research, revelations and reflections in this book tell us much about current and shifting global constructions and understandings of intimate relationships, sexual desires and love, and the socio-cultural representations and labeling of genders and sexualities.

Download or read book The Body as Capital written by Vinodh Venkatesh and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through economic liberalization and the untethering of labor and production markets, masculinity as hegemon has entered a crisis stage. Renegotiated labor and familial orders have triggered a widespread cultural renegotiation of how masculinity operates and is represented. This holds especially true in Latin America. Addressing this, Vinodh Venkatesh uses contemporary Latin American literature to examine how masculinity is constructed and conceived. The Body as Capital centers socioeconomic and political concerns, anxieties, and paradigms on the male anatomy and on the matrices of masculinities presented in fiction. Developing concepts such as the “market of masculinities” and the “transnational theater of masculinities,” the author explains how contemporary fiction centers the male body and masculine expressions as key components in the relationship between culture, space, and global tensile forces. Venkatesh includes novels by canonical and newer writers from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Peru, and Chile. He focuses on texts produced after 1990, coinciding with what has popularly been termed the neoliberal experiment. In addition to probing well-known novels such as La fiesta del Chivo and La mujer habitada and their accompanying body of criticism, The Body as Capital defines and examines several masculine tropes that will be of interest to scholars of contemporary Latin American literature and gender studies. Ultimately, Venkatesh argues for a more holistic approximation of discursive gender that will feed into other angles of criticism, forging a new path in the critical debates over gender and sexuality in Latin American writing.

Download or read book El problema del embarazo en la adolescencia Contribuciones a un debate written by Claudio Stern and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2012 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El embarazo en la adolescencia es considerado como un riesgo para la salud materna e infantil, así como un factor que contribuye al desmesurado crecimiento de la población, a la deserción escolar, y a la perpetuación de la pobreza, al coartar las posibilidades de desarrollo familiar. Sus causas se atribuyen principalmente a la sexualidad precoz y a la falta de información y de acceso a los métodos anticonceptivos. Esta publicación pone en cuestión los supuestos antes mencionados, destacando dos factores realmente subyacentes a esta problemática: la pobreza y la desigualdad, que dejan pocas oportunidades alternativas de desarrollo a una gran cantidad de nuestros jóvenes, y la falta de una verdadera educación para el ejercicio de la sexualidad que les permita enfrentarse con responsabilidad a este aspecto tan central para su vida.
