This collection looks from a variety of angles at the human body as it resists the determinations of gender, sexuality, socialization, and history. Ranging from classical hermaphrodites, Bruegel's blind faces and Weimar transgender surgery, via Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, state-socialist sport and Proust, to Barbie, Lari Pittman, American Psycho, IVF, and video dance, the 16 essays question the relationship between politics, culture, and desire.
