In graduate school, neither in my choice of dissertation topic nor in my turn to gender theory did I try to conform to philosophical standards that were, after all, everywhere debated; where they did exist, they were enforced by a kind of disciplinary police action that I opposed at a quite visceral level. I very much like your idea of the #sweatyconcept, and think perhaps that it might also characterize a certain difficult but necessary embodied resistance to forms of disciplinary power or cruelty within academic life. It is the action of the concept in one’s tissues, one’s muscles.

Open article: Queer love economies: Making trans/ feminist film in precarious times

In this essay, the authors Eric A. Stanley, Wu Tsang and Chris Vargas, all experimental filmmakers, discuss the impact of Born in Flames on their own work, as well as the ways their various projects pick up, extend, or change the political questions raised by the film. The relationships of experimental film to political community and community building are explored, particularly in the context of queer, feminist, trans, anti-racist politics and media.

Kiss It Better

[happy-objects]

But, if cinema does not give us the presence of the body and cannot give us it, this is perhaps also because it sets itself a different objective; it spreads an ‘experimental night’ or a white space over us; it works with 'dancing seeds’ and a 'luminous dust’; it affects the visible with a fundamental disturbance, and the world with a suspension, which contradicts all natural perception. What it produces in this way is the genesis of an 'unknown body’ which we have in the back of our heads, like the unthought in thought, the birth of the visible which is still hidden from view.

Vulnerability

Sara Ahmed interviews Judith Butler:

“We are both vulnerable and animated by those effects, so I do not mean to associate vulnerability with pure passivity or being without a will. It may be that the will is formed precisely through this process.”
