15.00€
*La Resurrección de las Monstruas* (The Resurrection of the Monsters) is a map taking the form of a text—one that mutates between essay, poetry, and autofiction—seeking to capture the pulse of a body shaped by social norms, yet also by illness and medico-social control. In this work, the author highlights the importance of creating new social—and sexual—imaginaries, where desire and pleasure are integral parts of our culture.
Rendering the sexuality or reproduction of "monsters" invisible is, in itself, a denial of their very existence. Little monsters fucking and reproducing? Sex-politics has seized control of our bodies and our diverse sexualities—those existing on the margins, the "other" sexualities.
The system must be fought, and from that spark emerges this book. It aims to be an ode to the sexuality of people with functional diversity, bringing it into the light and placing it center stage through the figure of the Sexual Assistant—a hybrid, mutating role bridging personal assistance and sex work.
*La Resurrección de las Monstruas* is a contemporary portrait and the first published text to recount, in the first person, the experiences of a sexual assistant for people with functional diversity. It ambitiously navigates an emotionally raw labyrinth of desire and pleasure, the normativity of bodies and abilities, porn and post-porn, a lesbian romance, and analyses of sex work and prostitution today. It is a text that pulses with life—a political abyss for a revolutionary present that will leave no reader indifferent.
