This project must be accompanied by an exit from heteronormativity as a regime of relational scarcity, as well as from the metaphysics of private property which is at the heart of our economies and by extension of our social ecologies -- at odds with much of life on this planet. \u003ci\u003eQueer Communal Kinship Now!\u003c\/i\u003e examines the role of western normative family ideals in the mechanisms of the preservation and intensification of this status quo, as well as potential approaches to guide us out of this unsavory situation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth handbook and personal narrative, \u003ci\u003eQueer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCommunal Kinship Now! \u003c\/i\u003ediscusses the conceptual leaps required to emancipate ourselves from the conventional western family model, towards different regimes of bonding, care, and attention, to allow us to imagine a different type of social reality driven by queer and feminist ethical concerns.

Their current research is articulated around notions of queer kinship and domesticity, with a focus on communal experimentation. Their literary practice consists of utopian theory, developing conceptual frameworks, regimes of attention, and narratives of emancipation from normative thinking. As a performer, they shape affective spaces of intimacy and care, events of collective world-making which re-actualize sensibility and imagination in our relational landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47226428981497,"sku":"9781685710842","price":31.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/W1gi-9_HiI9781685710842.webp?v=1768262942","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/queer-communal-kinship-now-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
