Prostitución, literatura y derecho
You can read, that is to say, write, questioning, making new cartographies by dint of irreverent questions, the kind that relate the ass to the times. It can be read, and written, starting from questions. For example: what is a whore? And, for example also: what is literature? In the case of Bianchi, the two questions at the same time sifting libraries with the patience of a gold digger filtering a stream, a river, a system of rivers, the hydrographic map of Latin America at last. And also all that the river cannot carry away: the sign of meat as merchandise, work as a curse, infinite conquest as a Latin American destiny, and novels that never end like the never-ending harvest of women.

In this book by Paula Daniela Bianchi, Marked Bodies. Prostitution, literature and law resonate a quantity of data, information, proposals, ideas, reflections on prostitution in its different aspects (historical, legal and political) that were designating the whore, the slave, the sex worker, the victim of trafficking or the trafficked. Although it is a book that tends to spread different problems, it does not pursue totalizations. (...) It is a research-book, a history-book, a knowledge-book and a tool-book (...) that pursues social effects that can move the articulation of academic debates and activists, their encounters, provocations and divergences, the ways of putting and engaging bodies, encouraging endless new practices and identifications.
