Descrizione
Scrivere è una lotta costante
con la cultura che hai
e con quella che ti manca
ma può diventare una danza
un vortice allegro
e sei tu
To write is a constant struggle
against your own education
against what you lack
but it can be a dance
a happy whirlwind
and then it’s you
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).
