Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. On 6 September 2018, a decades-long battle to decriminalise queer intimacy in India came to an end. The Supreme Court of India ruled that Section 377, the colonial anti-sodomy law, violated the country's constitution. 'LGBT persons,' the Court said, 'deserve to live a life unshackled from the shadow of being "unapprehended felons".' But how definitive was this end? How far does the law's shadow fall? How clear is the line between the past and the future? What does it mean to live with full sexual citizenship?In Love and Reparation, Danish Sheikh navigates these questions with a deft interweaving of the legal, the personal, and the poetic. The two plays in this volume leap across court transcripts, affidavits (real and imagined), archival research and personal memoir. Through his re-staging, Sheikh crafts a genre-bending exploration of a litigation battle, and a celebration of defiant love that burns bright in the shadow of the law. Listen to a conversation between author Danish Sheikh and writer Sandip Roy about Love and Reparation, queer intimacy and the law on our Facebook page.Read a conversation between author Danish Sheikh and Chintan Girish Modi about the publication of Love and Reparation in The Chakkar: 'Love, Law, and Literature'Listen to a conversation between Danish Sheikh and Saronik Bosu on New Books Network. Danish talks about his book Love and Reparation, his experience in courtrooms and the political theatre that influences him.Praise for Love and Reparation:'Danish Sheikh's work shows that it is possible to think law, literature, and love together-and to do so with vulnerability, compassion, and intelligence. These plays bring together incredibly disparate philosophical questions, political movements, and popular culture, anchored by a commitment to justice. In the world of Love and Reparation, the courtroom becomes a place of more than confession and prosecution-it becomes a site of storytelling and the imagination of alternative possibilities for justice.' - Daniel Elam, Assistant Professor, Comparative Literature, University of Hong Kong'Love and Reparation offers any law teacher a rare opportunity to discuss with students the elusive relations of law and life. Contempt, the first play in this volume, demonstrates the necessity of drawing methods of text and performance together to illuminate how a trial is both an event of law, and also a form of political story telling about how people's lived experiences are exposed or transformed when they come to law. In my own experience, as an audience member, and as a teacher of the text, this is a work that stages informed, critical engagement with law, and important collective conversations about personal and public responsibility.' - Ann Genovese, Associate Professor, Melbourne Law School'The text nurtures the reader's meandering by creating large, subtly interconnected spaces, opening multiple pathways for us to travel. I loved the journey it took me on, loved the writing, loved how it connected the very intimate with the political and legal. As wonderful as it would be to watch this play staged, it fully stands as a piece of writing in and of itself.' - Klaus Mueller, Founder and Chair, Salzburg Global LGBT Forum'How does law, whether it is the law contained within legal statutes, the law of love, friendship, communitas and strife, or the symbolic in psychology, insinuate itself into our queer lives, loves and longings? Using the conceit of the dialogue and the dialogic in The Symposium, Plato's Greek play on love, Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
