At a time when men are staying home to parent and women are leaving to practice law and politics, America is confused and anxious about what differences truly exist between the sexes. In a world of changing roles for both sexes, how are “masculine” and “feminine” defined? If women and men are created equal, how then do gender differences emerge?
Combining investigative journalism with a survey of current scientific research, Phyllis Burke pushes our society’s hottest button, gender anxiety. Contrary to gender gurus such as John Gray, who have depended upon exploiting the differences between men and women, Burke debunks the myth that men and women are from different planets. She casts a disbelieving eye on the shockingly popular diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder, in which children as young as three years old undergo therapy for not adhering to accepted notions of “girl” and “boy” behavior, and she encourages a shift towards a “gender independent” culture, in which individuals adopt the best traits of both sexes.
Hitchcock’s Bi-textuality Lacan Feminisms And Queer TheoryBY ROBERT SAMUELS EN VENTA AQUI This book combines three elements: an articulation of Lacan’s theory of ethics; a discussion of recent theories of feminine subjectivity and queer textuality; and close readings of Hitchcock’s films. Hitchcock’s Bi-Textuality argues that just as Freud posited a fundamental ground of bisexuality for every subject, we can affirm a form of universal “bi-textuality” that is repressed through different modes of representation, yet returns in unconscious aspects of textuality (dreams, word play, jokes, and symbolism). In order to illustrate this notion of bi-textuality, this work discusses how Hitchcock’s films are extremely heterogeneous and present multiple forms of sexual identification and desire, although they have most often been read through the reductive lens of male heterosexuality. Throughout this book, the work of Julia Kristeva, Kaja Silverman, Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, and Slavoj Zizek is examined. One of the central concerns is the way that different psychoanalytic and feminist theories tend to equate the Real and the unconscious with the feminine. This feminization of the Real tends to block the awareness of the bisexual nature of the unconscious. In order to return to Freud’s fundamental theory of polyvalent sexuality, recent notions of queer sexuality and textuality are explored. This book extends psychoanalytic theory by incorporating new feminist and queer conceptions of sexuality and representation.

ONUSIDA - 2011
Fragmento del prologoLa epidemia global de VIH aún representa uno de los desafíos de sa-lud pública más devastadores, a pesar del reconocido avance en el acce-so a tratamiento y la prevención de nuevas infecciones, mayormente por la vía perinatal. Después de casi 30 años de epidemia, las desigualdades de género persistentes y las violaciones a los derechos humanos conti-núan obstaculizando los progresos y amenazan los logros alcanzados hacia el acceso universal a prevención, tratamiento, atención y cuidado en relación al VIH, suponiendo un impedimento hacia la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio.
