Halberstam theorizes the wild as an unbounded and unpredictable space that offers sources of opposition to modernity's orderly impulses. Wildness illuminates the normative taxonomies of sexuality against which radical queer practice and politics operate. Throughout, Halberstam engages with a wide variety of texts, practices, and cultural imaginaries-from zombies, falconry, and M. NourbeSe Philip's \u003ci\u003eZong!\u003c\/i\u003e to Maurice Sendak's \u003ci\u003eWhere the Wild Things Are\u003c\/i\u003e and the career of Irish anticolonial revolutionary Roger Casement-to demonstrate how wildness provides the means to know and to be in ways that transgress Euro-American notions of the modern liberal subject. With \u003ci\u003eWild Things\u003c\/i\u003e, Halberstam opens new possibilities for queer theory and for wild thinking more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack Halberstam is Professor of English and Gender Studies at Columbia University and the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Queer Art of Failure\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFemale Masculinity\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by Duke University Press, and \u003ci\u003eTrans*: A Quick and Quirky Account of Gender Variability\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 29, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45437815750758,"sku":"9781478010036","price":180.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/rtq-G6ghGK9781478010036.webp?v=1775911811","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/wild-things-the-disorder-of-desire-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
