Instead, Simon(e) van Saarloos presents a radical critique of conventional arguments against ageism, rejecting constructs of ‘age’ and ‘youth’ and assumptions of their inherent qualities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from personal experience, the manifesto offers a reckoning with how ageism overlaps with structures of white supremacy and patriarchy. Through the lens of crip and queer theory, as well as anti-carceral and anti-colonial perspectives on time, this piercing text provocatively calls for the abolition of age-related laws, reframing commonly held understandings about age from van Saarloos’s defiant perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\/Politics is a new series which presents essays on ground-breaking ideas about the human body in relation to racial identities, sexuality, and politics. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325700866389,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/0849\/1861\/files\/AGAINST_AGEISM_A_QUEER_MANIFESTO_SIMON5E__VAN_SAARLOOS__SPBH_ESSAYS_BOOK_PARADIS_1.jpg?v=1756051015","url":"https:\/\/paradis-superstore.com\/products\/against-ageism-a-queer-manifesto","provider":"Paradis Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
