Description
Queering Freedom by Shannon Winnubst challenges traditional notions of freedom and domination. By examining categories of difference such as sexuality, race, gender, class, and nationality, Winnubst sheds light on blind spots in thinking about freedom. Drawing on the work of Georges Bataille, Michel Foucault, and others, Winnubst develops a new approach to understanding freedom that focuses on bodies and experiences rather than language of rights or identity politics. This thought-provoking work challenges the foundations of contemporary philosophies about the body and its politics. Winnubst's "queering freedom" strategy offers a way to undo subtle spatial and temporal norms and shatter structures of domination, resulting in a more nuanced understanding of freedom and its limitations.
