Paul B. Preciado - Manifesto Contra-Sexual

Originally published in 2000, Manifesto Contra-Sexual is already a cult book of queer theory.

Incisive and provocative, this manifesto invites us to rethink our conceptions of body, gender, and sexuality, rejecting the heteronormative structure of the patriarchal system and embracing the plasticity of bodies. The dildo—an artificial, attachable, and repeatable object that evades the genitalization of sex—is the foundation and pinnacle of the countersexual revolution proposed here. Blending philosophy with pop culture and never sacrificing life for the sake of theory, Preciado outlines new possibilities for political, sexual, social, and artistic experimentation.
