Unable to earn his affection, she instead seduces a former guerilla and toys with him, blurring the lines between prey and predator. At the same university, bored student Kamtchowsky and her boyfriend Pabst's intellectual and sexual misadventures take them through the underground scene of Buenos Aires as they dabble in ketamine, group sex, video games and pornography. And in 1917 Africa, a Dutch anthropologist named Johan van Vliet theorises the development of beast into man, and humanity's longstanding flirtation with beastly acts.  Climaxing with an Internet hack that catalogues historical violence, devastation and atrocity throughout the centuries, Savage Theories is a kaleidoscopic collage that is spellbinding, strange and ground-breaking.

No podía haber término medio.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fascinada y a veces perpleja, Oloixarac se interna en el laberinto de un sistema capaz de tender una nube de sospecha y condena sobre casi cualquier persona, incluida ella misma. A través de personajes cautivantes y por momentos monstruosos, la autora disecciona los mecanismos de la cancelación, a la vez que nos lleva a explorar las complejidades del sexo y el deseo.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pola Oloixarac ha escrito un libro polémico y agudo, que discute con la dictadura de la corrección política, una novela radicalmente coyuntural que dialoga con un nuevo clima de época: cuestionar lo que el feminismo ha construido hasta hoy. Al mismo tiempo, con su escritura ácida y reflexiva, ha confeccionado en \u003ci\u003eBad hombre\u003c\/i\u003e una novela íntima y apasionada por el poderío femenino, que trae a la luz escenas de Victoria Ocampo y sus amantes, sectas sexuales en California, basiliscos informáticos y la exploración de las fuerzas centrífugas de una nueva configuración del mundo que nos atrae y desconcierta.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePola Oloixarac, author of the stunning \u003ci\u003eSavage Theories\u003c\/i\u003e, takes on cancel culture in this disruptive, incisive, and brilliantly controversial book.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eBad Man\u003c\/i\u003e is intelligent, brave and extraordinarily well written.\"- Milena Busquets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Pola Oloixarac has been approached numerous times by women bent on punishing men, including former lovers. They denounce these men in scathing terms and demand that the author pick a side: either with her fellow women or the bad men in their lives. There can be no middle ground.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Fascinated and sometimes perplexed, Oloixarac considers a system with the power to cast suspicion on virtually anyone, including herself.  Informed by her interactions with persuasive and sometimes monstruous individuals, she analyzes the mechanisms of cancel culture and the complexities of sex and desire.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Oloixarac has written a controversial and cutting book that examines the tyranny of political correctness and questions some aspects of feminism. But \u003ci\u003eBad Man\u003c\/i\u003e is also an intimate and moving novel built on female empowerment that touches on such varied topics as Victoria Ocampo and her lovers, California sex cults, Roko's basilisk and the seemingly unstoppable forces driving new social configurations that simultaneously attract and dismay.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51643500757265,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51643501019409,"sku":"NIN9788439744436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8439744439.jpg?v=1751160215"},{"product_id":"el-lugar-de-la-literatura-en-el-mundo-neoliberal-book-pola-oloixarac-9781469692623","title":"El El Lugar De La Literatura En El Mundo Neoliberal","description":"Esta compilación es el resultado de la transcripción textual de los conversatorios que tuvieron lugar en Zoom, en marzo de 2024, con motivo del vigésimo aniversario de A Contracorriente: una revista de estudios latinoamericanos. Dichos conversatorios contaron con la participación de cuatro destacados escritores latinoamericanos, Pola Oloixarac (Argentina), Jorge Volpi (México), Patricio Pron (Argentina) y Nona Fernández (Chile); asimismo, sus interlocutores fueron los críticos Ariel Schettini, Héctor Jaimes, Greg Dawes y María Rosa Olivera-Williams, respectivamente. En las reflexiones generadas a partir de estos diálogos se exploran las formas en que la literatura actúa como herramienta de resistencia frente al neoliberalismo contemporáneo.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53338198507793,"sku":"NGR9781469692623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53473713455377,"sku":"NIN9781469692623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781469692623.jpg?v=1774356481"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-pola-oloixarac.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
