A short and interesting read. ( ) One of the striking themes of this book, which is in the form of diary entries, is Derek Jarman's anger not only at the homophobia of the society in which he grew up, but also with the implicit collusion which comes from social liberals who fail to take prejudice seriously: a refrain here is that 'you failed to notice the violence which was taking place around you as you hid behind the pages of your copy of The Guardian'. Looking back on the whole of his life, with touching regret at how long it took him to take himself seriously, and under the shadow of HIV/AIDS in the final decades, this is also an emotionally intelligent and humane book, full of wit and delight - more assertive than some people will find comfortable, but, for me, anyway, a subversive inspiration. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Impassioned, witty and polemical, At Your Own Risk is Derek Jarman's defiant celebration of gay sexuality. In At Your Own Risk, Derek Jarman weaves poetry, prose, photographs and newspaper extracts into a rich tapestry of gay experience in the UK. The buttoned-up repression of the fifties and sixties makes way for liberation and free love in the seventies, only to be chased by the terror and pain of HIV/AIDS. This is Jarman at his passionate best, written when he was already ill with HIV and in the midst of the moral panic surrounding the AIDS crisis. Defiant and furious, he not only celebrates his own sexuality but skewers wider society for its brazen homophobia. Reissued here 25 years after Jarman's death, with an introduction by Straight Jacket author Matthew Todd, At Your Own Riskremains a singular work. It is a powerful reminder of how far we have come and how much further we have left to go. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
