livet - den kompletta guiden
Vill du veta hur man skaffar en kille, hur man undviker att bli galen, hur man beter sig på en lyxjakt, hur man besegrar sin rädsla för klyschor och allt annat som heterotjejen behöver kunna i livet? Då är det här boken för dig.
“ The new left-wing generation’s foremost intellectual representative, Kajsa Ekis Ekman. Kajsa has a combination of empirical overview and intellectual sharpness and depth that I think is unique in Sweden today. The only comparisons I can think of are the slightly older international sisters Naomi Klein and Arundhati Roy.” - Göran Therborn
“Prostitution Will Always Be Incompatible With Equality and Free Will”
BEING AND BEING BOUGHT
Being and Being Bought is a brilliant Marxian – more than Marxist in the traditional sense – analysis of the commodification and reification of the female gender during late capitalism in far-reaching and penetrating studies of the basically similar social ecosystems of sex trafficking and uterus trade, surrogacy. The contemporary sex and uterus industry is analysed from many different points of view on both actual conditions and ideological draperies, and with different methods, with an almost totalitarian reading of all relevant material and with revealing key interviews in several countries. “Our goal is to teach them to become better prostitutes”, said a representative of an EU-funded organization in Amsterdam. The surveys are delivered with a sharp thoroughness that required 456 footnotes, to research reports, testimonies, slimy pimps and to apologetic sayings from both philosophical scatterbrains and slick PR types, as well as to an intellectual framework from Aeschylus’ Oresteia to Marx’ Paris Manuscripts and Sartre’s L’Être et le Néant. - Göran Therborn
Essere ed essere comprate
Prostituzione, maternità surrogata e identità divisa
“ One doesn’t own one’s body, one is one’s body. ‘My body is me’. Not an object, an instrument, separated from the self, something that can be sold, rented, abandoned, or kept to oneself—but being itself. ”
Kajsa Ekis Ekman, Being and Being Bought
“ The left suffers from post-communist trauma and is scared of its own organizational power, many prefer to romanticize the spontaneous protest. ”

On the Meaning of Sex
Kajsa Ekis Ekmans bok kommer i rätt tid. Den kommer, hoppas jag innerligt, att bidra till en viss tillnyktring. Hennes styrka - som ofta vänds mot henne - är det tillspetsade uttrycket, förmågan att dra en tanke till dess logiska slut, orken att sätta sig in i dessa mängder av material, ofta medvetet tillkrånglade texter, förmågan att avläsa dem deras avsikt - det är värt vårt beröm. Det är värt att den stora tystnaden bryts.” - Yvonne Hirdman
“Höjer nivån väsentligt på den hätska diskussion kring de nutida könsdefinitionerna som rusat på debattsidorna de senaste åren”. - Gunilla Kindstrand, Svenska Dagbladet

“ Si prescindimos de la base material que antes constituía el fundamento del sexo, es decir, las células sexuales, nos queda poca cosa más aparte de los estereotipos y las normas culturales que ahora tienen que sustituir a las células sexuales como el armazón que sustenta el concepto de sexo ”
