Subversive Bodies explores the dimension of clubbing and rituals of the night in LGBT+ culture and queer communities to understand the transformation of sociality and the role of the body today from three perspectives: socio-anthropological, performative, and dialogical. Theoretical research and artistic practice are focused on the role of the body in its political dimension in shaping identities and social processes, within a context in which, on the one hand, nightlife and gathering in entertainment spaces are increasingly restricted and in which, on the other hand, Gender Studies invest sociality with new issues.
