The Lebanese state is structured through religious freedom and secular power sharing across sectarian groups. Every sect has specific laws that govern kinship matters like marriage or inheritance. Together with criminal and civil laws, these laws regulate and produce political difference. But whether women or men, Muslims or Christians, queer or straight, all people in Lebanon have one thing in common—they are biopolitical subjects forged through bureaucratic, ideological, and legal techniques of the state. With this book, Maya Mikdashi offers a new way to understand state power, theorizing how sex, sexuality, and sect shape and are shaped by law, secularism, and sovereignty. Drawing on co...

Ninguém tem o poder de protestar com veemência se isso ou aquilo é verdade ou mentira. Portanto, tudo que foi escrito nesse livro tem suas exceções. Não devemos acreditar em tudo que lemos, no que dizem e também não devemos desacreditar. Nem tudo é verdade e nem tudo é mentira. A razão e a lógica estão aí para serem analisadas, existem assuntos e práticas que só de observar já est...
