Тело каждого by Olivia Laing

A Book About Freedom

A hybrid of cultural history, memoir, and criticism that investigates how freedom is lived and contested through the body, tracing the body’s exposure to control, violence, illness, and desire as well as its capacities for pleasure, care, and collective resistance. Threading through the life and theories of Wilhelm Reich, it revisits twentieth- and twenty-first-century struggles—from civil rights and feminism to queer and trans liberation—alongside portraits of artists and activists, ultimately arguing that any politics of freedom must begin with bodily autonomy, solidarity, and the right to live safely in one’s own skin.
