{"product_id":"9781786801425","title":"Man-Made Woman: The Dialectics of Cross-Dressing","description":"On July 27th, 2015, Colin Cremin overcame a lifetime of fear and repression and came to work dressed as a woman called Ciara. This book charts her personal journey as a male-to-female cross-dresser in the ever-changing world of gender politics.   Interweaving the personal and the political, through discussions of fetishism, aesthetics and popular culture, Man-Made Woman explores gender, identity and pleasure through the lenses of feminism, Marxism and psychoanalytic theory. Cremin’s anti-moralistic approach dismantles the abjection associated with male-to-female cross dressing, examining the causes of its repression, and considers what it means to publicly materialise desire on her body. Emancipatory and empowering: Cremin interrogates her, his and our relationship to the gender binary.    Man-Made Woman is an experiment in thought and practice through which both author and reader are drawn ultimately into a conflict with our material, ideological and libidinal relationship to patriarchal-capitalism.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175115866352,"sku":"9781786801425","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786801425_p0.jpg?v=1763738813","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786801425","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
