A, as it should seem, hand gekrakelter dash obscured the name, and makes it possible to add another. The constraints of the bourgeois, residing in all of us, require the clear classification and canonization of self as a subaltern and radical Announced.
That this write-up acts are so clearly (namely: on the title page) are visible, in turn, is only possible because it is the small, conscientious of August publishing.
one of these names, Guy Hocquenghem, and belongs to the most famous author in the context of the French gay movement of the Seventies.

Christian Maurel: “For the ass”. August Verlag, Berlin 2019, 144 pages, 14 Euro.
This is in truth the less well-known, Christian Maurel, such as the Didier-Eribon-PhD candidate Antoine Idier found out recently.
The Text reads like a comment on Hocquenghems the main plant. Its Central idea, the social sexuality build on the persecution of homosexuality, but is woven more: What follows from this logic to the subjectivity of those who are beyond the heterosexual order apparently? “We are the threat to the repressed homosexuality of all other, and your reaction to it is what has formed us.”
Nothing to do with the liberation of so, also for you! While Hocquenghem dismissed his readers with the hope of a kind of streaming and anal homosexuality have already transformative power, lights Maurel, the places where this hope shatters.

Clear roles, clear thing.
Therefore the anger of many Gay. It’s like the hare and the hedgehog: “I’m already there,” announced the heteronormative order reliably to any attempt from her to escape.

So why not cuddle up to her? “The middle class leaves us no thirty-six ways in which homosexuality, it leaves us with a single,” says Maurel aptly.
In the “tone of a detached or cynical faggot” (Rehberg) he provides his scepticism, in Spite of the necessary work of mourning, from this frustration of starting the ground for a more radical Experiment prepare: “a ratio of the Non-competition and Non-property rights”; the Desire, “spent, finally, polymorphic, and wasted and disappears” and the Disappearance of gender, Power, and believed to be secure categories with tears.
This way of losing leads, because the author leaves no doubt in and around and through the ass. With no guarantee of success.
