About this item
by Mario Mieli (Author), Nicholas Benson (Translator), Federica Santini (Translator)
Mario Mieli (1952 - 1983) was an Italian activist, writer, playwright, actor and queer theorist. He is considered one of the founders of the Italian homosexual movement and one of the leading theoreticians in Italian homosexual activism. His critique of patriarchal capitalism parallels his rejection of revisionist and reformist discourses embraced by certain liberation movements. His books include: Elementi di critica omosessuale, Einaudi 1977, translated into five languages (Towards a Gay Communism, Elements of a Homosexual Critique, Pluto Press, London, 2018), and La gaia critica. Politica e liberazione sessuale negli anni settanta - Scritti 1972-1983 (Marsilio, Venezia, 2019).
