Daniel Amarelo, Alva Lourenço e Nee Barros - Guia de Linguagem Não Binária
15.30€
Reality is, by definition, in constant flux. The world changes, countries change, people change, and our languages create new words and structures to name these new worlds. Hence words like microwave, femicide, and "todes" (a Brazilian slang term for all genders). Thus, non-binary language (NBL) "is not a matter of style, but of respect." The opposite is also true.
We renew language to change the world, and our choices are never innocent: "language reflects how we think and can include or exclude people." Beyond masculine and feminine, "NBL is not a new color added to the two that already existed, but the entire spectrum of colors that was hidden. Therefore, NBL is far from being 'neutral'; it is political, positioning itself against the rigidity of categories." This guide aims to channel and systematize a powerful collective creativity, from Galicia and the whole world, offering in a single volume a useful tool for any audience.
With clear tips, numerous examples, and in-depth chapters, this guide serves curious readers, committed writing firms, laypeople, or philologists and linguists unafraid to change their approaches. By observing our own way of constructing and using the language, it aligns with international Portuguese.
