In the last decade, critical Germanophone cultural productions have led a feminist and/or queer resistance against the rise of conservative politics. Embodied Realities offers an overview of recent queer, feminist, and intersectional debates across literature, film, performing arts, and the history of ideas. It features a unique collaboration among activists, authors, and scholars and proposes a pluridisciplinary, multimodal, and transnational approach to embodiment and reality. In exploring the intertwining of activism and creation, contributors interrogate embodiment as a practice that fights commodification and discrimination and reality as the illusory state of normativity as well as the hopeful becoming of alternatives that reconfigure societies. The testimonies included in the volume allow for a deeper understanding of life experiences that have, in turn, inspired cultural productions. Academic essays vary from case studies to studies of broader corpora, highlighting positionality, identity, and sexuality.
