Focusing on ways in which queer and trans Latinx people demonstrate the unwillingness of their participation in \"productivist\" ethics and allied respectability politics, Marcos Gonsalez argues that slacking off, lounging, daydreaming, and partying are liberatory practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGonsalez explores how queer and trans Latinx artists refute discourses in which work is a moral good. In \u003ci\u003eParis Is Burning\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRuPaul's Drag Race\u003c\/i\u003e, documentary photography of queer and trans Latinx life in Los Angeles, and other sources, Gonsalez identifies two lazy styles: first, flagrant refusals of work that critique capitalist reason; and second, the invention of alternative aesthetic worlds beyond racial capitalism and violence targeting queer and trans people, whose rejection of the cisgender nuclear family paradigm is rightly seen as threatening the stability of a functioning capitalist system. Reclaiming laziness as a resource for radical imagining, \u003ci\u003eRevolting Indolence\u003c\/i\u003e asks us to do that which we want most and which capitalist exploitation can least tolerate: to slow down.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49704858747184,"sku":"BDk893","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49704858648880,"sku":"ZEk893","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49704858714416,"sku":"ZMk893","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/k893-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780576718","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-k893","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
