| Summary: | The book review offers a reading of the work Alterazioni. Introduzione alle sociologie delle omosessualità (Alterations. Introduction to the sociologies of homosexuality), Cirus Rinaldi (ed.), who highlights the basic idea: the need to "alter" the sociology and overcome completely the limitations of the traditional approach to the homosexuality issue, characterized indeed influenced by the research for regularity. The difficulty of differences recognition is the great theme that runs through the whole volume in the multidisciplinary joint of the eighteen essays that compose it and answer, according to the explicit criteria of the editor, the need to multiply the glances and solicit the broadest comparison between academic and non-academic knowledge. The asymmetric and hierarchizing request of the established social order is the key by which we analyze the various forms of anti-homosexual violence in the context of an in-depth discussion about homophobia. |
