Adam is joined by Ciara Cremin to discuss the libidinal economy of femininity in her latest book "The Spectral Woman: Transfemininity and the Abolition of Gender" out now from Pluto Press. Drawing from psychoanalytic, feminist, and Marxist theory, we discuss how Ciara's book articulates a vision of communism, abolitionism, and femininity against the male fantasies of capital, wielding the handbag and sickle against new fascisms mired in transphobia and gender essentialism. You can find the book here at:
