In this classic underground text, queer theorist and post-'68 provocateur Guy Hocquenghem takes on the militant delusions of the gay liberation movement. Hocquenghem, founder and leader of the Front Homosexuel d'Action Revolutionnaire, vivisects not only the stifled mores of bourgeois capitalism but the phallocratic concessions of so-called homophiles, and, ultimately, the very act of speaking desire (and non-desire). Rejecting any pure theory of homosexuality that claims its otherness as a morphology of revolution, he contends that the ruling classes have invented homosexuality as a sexual ghetto, splitting and mutilating desire in the process. It is only when non-desire and the desire of desire are enacted simultaneously through speech and body that homosexuality can finally be sublimated under the true act of making love. There are thousands of sexes on earth, according to Hocquenghem, but only one sexual desire. Available in English for the first time, \u003ci\u003eThe Screwball Asses\u003c\/i\u003e is a revelatory disquisition, earning Hocquenghem his rightful place among the minoritarian elite of Gilles Deleuze, Jean Genet, and Tony Duvert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49557169111313,"sku":"GOR005943115","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50809525666065,"sku":"CIN1584350814G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1584350814.jpg?v=1751462648"},{"product_id":"gay-liberation-after-may-68-book-guy-hocquenghem-9781478018087","title":"Gay Liberation After May '68","description":"In Gay Liberation after May '68, first published in France in 1974 and appearing here in English for the first time, Guy Hocquenghem details the rise of the militant gay liberation movement and argues that revolutionary movements must be rethought through ideas of desire and sexuality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609630122257,"sku":"GOR013331627","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028497727761,"sku":"NIN9781478018087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478018089.jpg?v=1761390923"},{"product_id":"homosexual-desire-book-guy-hocquenghem-9780822313847","title":"Homosexual Desire","description":"Integrating psychoanalytic and Marxist theory, this book describes the social and psychic dynamics of what has come to be called homophobia and on how the 'homosexual' as social being has come to be constituted in capitalist society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730949710097,"sku":"NGR9780822313847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50134598811921,"sku":"CIN0822313847G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014063382801,"sku":"NIN9780822313847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822313847.jpg?v=1761390977"},{"product_id":"love-in-relief-l-amour-en-relief-book-guy-hocquenghem-9780933322264","title":"Love in Relief (L'Amour En Relief)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50925798949137,"sku":"CIN0933322267G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0933322267.jpg?v=1750704907"},{"product_id":"gay-liberation-after-may-68-book-guy-hocquenghem-9781478015451","title":"Gay Liberation After May '68","description":"In Gay Liberation after May '68, first published in France in 1974 and appearing here in English for the first time, Guy Hocquenghem details the rise of the militant gay liberation movement and argues that revolutionary movements must be rethought through ideas of desire and sexuality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028498055441,"sku":"NIN9781478015451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478015454.jpg?v=1761389803"},{"product_id":"desir-homosexuel-book-guy-hocquenghem-9782213606330","title":"Le desir homosexuel","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51227314159889,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51227314880785,"sku":"GOR005172835","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52759575822609,"sku":"NIN9782213606330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2213606331.jpg?v=1751316886"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-guy-hocquenghem.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
