Eine Zungengymnastik für die Genderdebatte
by Yoko Tawada
Description
Clever, surprising and accurate observations and fresh perspectives on sex, gender and beyond. Yoko Tawada looks at language and words, everyday life, as well as autobiographical matters, literary works, bodies (but what is the body and what is the soul?) and history from different cultures. Her perspective is that of a "poetic anthropologist". Nothing is taken for granted from this point of view, the smallest things are carefully observed and described in such a way that our everyday understanding is called into question and we "see the world with new eyes".
Yoko Tawada has always dealt with transformations, with intermediate beings, intermediate states beyond gender. Her book sheds refreshing, broadening light on the sometimes polemical gender debate and on many more aspects of life.
