Quilt INC./Reductionism
Reductionism, akin to a pervasive gender binary, exerts its influence across society, culture, and literature, giving rise to stereotypes amid the remnants of past homophobia. This simplifying lens distills the intricate tapestry of human experiences, confining them within rigid boundaries and perpetuating societal norms. In literature, reductionism constrains character portrayals, limiting them to narrow archetypes that reinforce pre-existing prejudices.
Against this backdrop, some resilient social movement has emerged, determined to challenge and dismantle these reductionist paradigms. These movement strives to create a more inclusive and accepting societal fabric, one that recognizes and celebrates the diverse and fluid nature of individual identities. By pushing back against reductionist thinking, it aims to cultivate a culture that appreciates the multifaceted spectrum of human experiences, transcending the limitations imposed by binary perspectives.
