Chitty

Limited edition reissue of the 1968 soundtrack to the Disney classic about a magical car nicknamed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang offers a grand total of 50 tracks. The first disc expands the number of songs performed by Dick Van Dyke and Sally Anne Howes to include unobtrusive clips of dialogue from the film, and all of the songs that appeared in the movie are now included. The second disc collects demos, which are entertaining, as well. Many versions of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] have been released over the years – some great, some not so great – but this is by far the biggest and best.

Egemonia sessuale è il tentativo di riscrivere la storia delle sessualità come una storia dei rapporti di proprietà. Dalla persecuzione della sodomia nella Firenze rinascimentale alle regolamentazioni delle comunità marinaresche olandesi del Seicento, dai pamphlet della Parigi rivoluzionaria ai contemporanei dibattiti negli Stati Uniti, Christopher Chitty passa in rassegna i modi in cui le classi dominanti hanno cercato di controllare e plasmare le abitudini e le sottoculture affettive dei gruppi subalterni, mostrando come la sessualità sia sempre stata e continui a essere un campo di conquista, negoziazione e scontro tra classi sociali. Mettendo in dialogo le teorie foucaultiane sulla sessualità con le analisi marxiste sulla classe, Chitty porta avanti una ricerca sulla storia delle forme di omosessualità maschili in relazione allo sviluppo del capitalismo, restituendo un saggio rivolto sia a chi è alla ricerca di testi radicali sulle questioni sessuali e di genere, sia a chi ha già un’autocoscienza di classe e vuole scoprire in che modo queste lotte si intersechino con le rivendicazioni queer.
