Among the most important works ever to address the relationship between homosexuality, homophobia and capitalism, Mieli's essay continues to pose a radical challenge to today's dominant queer theory and politics. With extraordinary prescience, Mieli exposes the efficiency with which capitalism co-=opts "perversions" which are then "sold both wholesale and retail." In his view the liberation of homosexual desire requires the emancipation of sexuality from both heteropatriarchal sex roles and capital. 4aHomosexuality. 4aMale homosexuality. 4aGay liberation movement. 4aSocialism and homosexuality.1 aFernbach, David.1 aWilliams, Evan Calder.0 aElementi di critica omosessuale.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oHQ76.25 .M54 2018pPNLIB21061864r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c2051d2051
