Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling With Cure
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Brilliant Imperfection Eli Clare Uses Memoir, History, And Critical Analysis To Explore Curethe Deeply Held Belief That Bodyminds Considered Broken Need To Be Fixed. Cure Serves Many Purposes. It Saves Lives, Manipulates Lives, And Prioritizes Some Lives Over Others. It Provides Comfort, Makes Profits, Justifies Violence, And Promises Resolution To Bodymind Loss. Clare Grapples With This Knot Of Contradictions, Maintaining That Neither An Anticure Politics Nor A Procure Worldview Can Account For The Messy, Complex Relationships We Have With Our Bodyminds. The Stories He Tells Range Widely, Stretching From Disability Stereotypes To Weight Loss Surgery, Gender Transition To Skin Lightening Creams. At Each Turn, Clare Weaves Race, Disability, Sexuality, Class, And Gender Together, Insisting On The Nonnegotiable Value Of Bodymind Difference. Into This Mix, He Adds Environmental Politics, Thinking About Ecosystem Loss And Restoration As A Way Of Delving More Deeply Into Cure. Ultimately Brilliant Imperfection Reveals Cure To Be An Ideology Grounded In The Twin Notions Of Normal And Natural, Slippery And Powerful, Necessary And Damaging All At The Same Time.
