Louise Toupin

Louise Toupin è una politologa, accademica e attivista canadese,  specializzata in studi femministi.

Dal 1969 al 1971 ha fatto parte Front de libération des femmes del Québec, il primo gruppo neo-femminista a Montreal.

Nel 1976 è stata cofondatrice della casa editrice femminista Éditions du remue-ménage. Ricercatrice indipendente, è coautrice di tre antologie: Québécoises Deboutte! (1983) con Véronique O’Leary, La pensée féministe au Québec (2003, con Micheline Dumont) e Luttes XXX (2011, con Maria Nengeh Mensah e Claire Thiboutot).

Nata a Champlain, in Quebec, nel 1946, ha conseguito un master presso l’Università di Montréal nel 1972 e un dottorato di ricerca presso l’Università del Québec nel 1994, dove ha insegnato fino al pensionamento.

La sua ricerca si è concentrata su raccolte e analisi della teoria femminista della storia del Québec.

È stata anche ricercatrice post-dottorato presso l’Istituto Universitario Europeo di Firenze.

Dal 2000 si è impegnata nella promozione dei diritti delle lavoratrici del sesso e della loro inclusione sociale.

Nel 2011 ha co-fondato l’Alliance féministe solidaire.

Louise Toupin ha svolto un lavoro sostanziale sul concetto di riconoscimento del lavoro invisibile tipicamente svolto dalle donne, concetto che ha elaborato nel suo saggio del 2014 che in italiano è tradotto col titolo: Il salario al lavoro domestico. Cronaca di una lotta femminista internazionale (1972-1977).

All’inizio degli anni Settanta, il Collettivo internazionale femminista decretava la fine della “naturalizzazione” delle donne al lavoro domestico, lanciando la sua sfida teorico-politica al femminismo socialista e al marxismo classico. All’insegna dello slogan “Salario al lavoro domestico”, ha costruito una campagna internazionale dalle coordinate teoriche e politiche inedite che ha aperto la strada a un nuovo modo di intendere il ruolo sociale della donna, il lavoro produttivo e riproduttivo e la stessa produzione di valore capitalista. Attraverso l’attività di collettivi territoriali, incontri internazionali e momenti di mobilitazione, anche a elevata conflittualità su tutti gli aspetti, anche “invisibili”, del lavoro domestico – dall’aborto alla pratiche mediche, alla salute delle donne, alla sessualità, alla contraccezione e alla sterilizzazione, al reddito, ai servizi (scuola, casa, sanità), alla violenza domestica e al lavoro sessuale – il Collettivo internazionale femminista ha scritto una pagina importante della storia del femminismo radicale, rimasta a lungo nell’ombra. Attingendo a una vasta ricerca d’archivio e arricchito da una serie di interviste, il testo ripercorre la storia del movimento, offrendo strumenti critici su una serie di questioni ancora attuali come il lavoro di cura, la divisione sessuale del lavoro, la conciliazione famiglia-lavoro, la sessualità come lavoro e la riproduzione sociale su scala globale.

Do all of my characters love Jane Austen? Yes.

Is that because she’s a fantastic writer? Yes.

Is it because all of them know what’s good literature? Yes.

Is it because I personally simp SO HARD for my girl Jane? ...Yes.

Look, it’s called GOOD TASTE.

[thistle-and-thorn]

Do you have books or poetry that you reread at specific times/seasons/moods?

Oh hiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not a great re-reader to be completely honest with you because i read so slowly that it feels like wasted time a little bit. There are works that I revisit and read sections of or associate really strongly with the seasons though. I think I prefer lighter stuff in the summer and as the months get colder, then my reading tastes get weirder or more non-fiction-y?

Like Spring is Romantic/Light Academia Season so books like:

The Silver Horn of Robin Hood; The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley; all of Jane Austen; Anne of Green Gables; As You Like It; Much Ado About Nothing with poems like "The Highwayman"; "The Hound of Heaven"; "A Passionate Shepherd to His Love"; Song of Songs; "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways"; Joy Davidman's sonnets to C.S. Lewis but particularly Sonnet XXIX; Shakespeare's Sonnet 29.

Summer is like the Epics/Adventure/Series/General Escapism:

Stephen Fry's Troy; The Iliad; Swiss Family Robinson; all of Sharon Kay Penman's books i love this woman rip queen; The Queen's Thief books by Meghan Whalen Turner aka the greatest story ever told; I also love reading some Amy Tan's books; mysteries series like i love a Longmire book in the summer; middle grade stuff like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson; with poems like "When I Have Crossed the Bar"; "Annabel Lee" by Poe; "Having a Coke with You" by Frank O'Hara and honestly this is spicy but also "Please Master" by Allen Ginsberg i'm not sorry

Autumn is like Dark Academia/Classics:

The Oresteia; The Odyssey; Trojan Women; The Silence of the Girls; Great Expectations; The Matthew Shardlake mysteries; I just read If We Were Villains and The Essex Serpent which are both very dark academia; love a book about an author like I'm really looking forward to reading the biography of Margaret Wise Brown that came out recently; Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber; Antony Sherr's The Year of the King; George Bernard Shaw's commentaries on Shakespeare. Poems/collections like Averno and The Meadowlands by Louise Gluck; October Mourning: A Song for Matthew Shepherd

Winter is like I'm Reading By the Fire, Comfort Me

I mean like blah blah i genuinely love A Christmas Carol; Jack London's A Call of the Wild; Sherlock Holmes stories; The Once and Future King by T.H. White; Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis; A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas; poems like "The Shortest Day" by Susan Cooper; A Letter to a Friend by Fra Giovanni; “The Lament of Art O’Leary”; my grandmother's favorite poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert W. Service; "Do not go gently into that good night" also by Dylan Thomas; "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "The Impulse" by Robert Frost

What about you???

my reading list

hello all! i am severely lacking in content to post, so I am easing myself into the blogger life by starting off with an adorable, rather simple post instead of one of the content heavy ones which are a work in progress (rather anxious about getting my info correct). here is my reading list!! ive tried to eliminate the book i am reading and have to read for my sixth form classes but it is as follows; 

the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde status: currently reading 

i had initially heard of this book when longingly glancing at the summary in waterstones when weeding through the penguin classics section. from first read the book encapsulated me and i was head over heels. genuinely wanted this book for about 7 plus months until christmas came around and there it was gleaming on top of the sofa. love u gran and grandad xxxx. 

my fascination and love of this book has only grown over time - deep diving into faust and faustian pacts after reading a quote in chapter 1 of wharton’s age of innocence had, in a rather modern sense, ‘increased the hype’. anyways, i am indeed only on about chapter 3  but i think this may be becoming a favourite of mine. (would anyone be interested in knowing what my favourite books are?)

the way of all flesh by ambrose pary status: currently reading

i can’t lie, it was the author’s name that caught my eye. after doing the ‘medicine through time’ unit in gcse history, and learning about renaissance surgeon, ambrose paré, ambrose parry had definitely sparked an interest, and to be honest i’m sure 15 year old me found it quite cool. no surprise here, its historical fiction! 

but unlike the historical fiction pieces i already own, it is a historical mystery set in 1847 and follows will raven, a medical student in edinburgh, yet begins chapter one with a dead prostitute. rather classy, yes? i began reading this in the hotel during my brief family holiday to london and read more while waiting for the train home. needless to say i am engrossed entirely. have a feeling this is going to be a good one :)!

darcy’s voyage: a pride and predjudice retelling by kara louise status: in the queue...

i picked this one up for £2.50 (no literally - the price is still pencilled in on the inside of the cover) from barter books (a.k.a heaven on earth). allthough i do have the timeless jane austen original on my shelf in my bedroom, i’m perplexingly tempted to read this one first; a coveted break away from 19th century romance in a manor house in the middle of nowhere. i haven’t yet dived into the pages yet but am excited to do so. i have my fingers crossed this will be a refreshing perspective on classic tropes and romance while still keeping the heart-wrenching storyline.

if i never met you by mhairi mcfarlane status: read 2 chapters but then i fell in love with dorian gray instead

this screams rom-com wattpad original but let me tell you i am all here for it. just from reading the aforementioned two chapters, mcfarlane has set the plot in motion extremely well and i was picturing the movie in my mind when reading. 

the mixture of formats is refreshing and it reminds me of the layout of one of my favourite books; the next together by lauren james (reincarnation meets lovers throughout history). i can confirm that i am heavily excited to carry on reading, but am forcing myself into commitment of just one book for the mean time. 

honourable mentions: a.k.a everything that is also on the ‘read next’ list but i feel as though i’m droning on enough already:  the shadow of the hangman by edward marston death of an avid reader by francis brody the victorian house by judith flanders antony and cleopatra by william shakespeare  the flat share by beth o’leary words in deep blue by cath crowley

books (in the time of corona)

PART I: ADULT EDITION

Let’s get real--we’re all going fucking insane.  

Therefore, I’m recommending some books with which you can kill time.  I’m breaking them into categories--the romance category including several subgenres but by and large covering books that focus more heavily on the romance than anything else.  These will all be adult books; I’m doing a separate page for YA recommendations.

I’ll be adding to this list as I finish books that I feel belong here.

ROMANCE

A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux.  A young woman is abandoned by her scoundrel of a boyfriend, only to find a literal medieval knight in shining armor.  Pure 80′s cheese, a classic in the time travel subgenre long before Outlander ever happened.

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa.  A BIT ON THE NOSE RIGHT NOW, but I promise that this tale of a hot virgin Horseman of the Apocalypse spreading his plague and the one woman brave enough to fuck him is WORTH IT.  As is the sequel, War.

My Lady’s Choosing by Kitty Curran.  A literal choose your own adventure novel, but the adventures bodice ripping Regency romance plots!!!

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang.  A sweet and smart woman on the autism spectrum hires a male escort to teach her to be good at sex.  Shit goes DOWN from there.

The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary.  She works days; he works nights.  She needs a cheap place to stay, and he needs a roommate.  So they share a flat and even a bed (sleeping on opposite sides and never at the same time) only communicating through post-it notes throughout the apartment.  What could go wrong?

Marriage for One by Ella Maise.  She can only get her inheritance if she’s married.  Good thing a glacial attorney has offered to marry her out of nowhere, only for paper purposes.  What could go wrong???

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa.  Lina is a wedding planner who was left at the altar.  Max is the younger brother of the man who left her, and apparently convinced him to do the leaving.  What happens when they work together?

Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert.  Chloe suffers from a chronic illness, which means that she’s never had a life--and so she compiles a list that will help her get one.  On the list?  Meaningless sex.  Which she won’t have with her building’s superintendent, even though he’s really down to help her cross off all the other items, riiiight?

Books read in November

I wasn’t sure how many books I’d finish, given how much time I spent reading the news -- but upon reflection, reading the news has just cut into time spent on things like Tumblr rather than time spent reading books. 

Favourite cover: The Swan Riders.

Reread: From All False Doctrine by Alice Degan (again).

Also read: Circle of Friends by Susan Mallery.

Still reading: Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks, Queen’s Play by Dorothy Dunnett, and The Kinship of Secrets by Eugenia Kim.

Next up: Or What You Will by Jo Walton, Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, and maybe I’ll finally get around to Miss Bunting by Angela Thirkell.

*

Angel Mage by Garth Nix (narrated by Kristin Atherton): The audiobook was well read and I really liked the four protagonists: the musketeer, the scholar, the clerk and the student doctor. Dorotea (the scholar) was my favourite; I love the way she baffles people when she doesn’t react the way they expect her to. I didn’t enjoy hearing about the antics of the antagonist, although the final analysis of her motives was unexpectedly satisfying, and I didn’t start to get interested in the system of angel magic until the story was nearly over.

The Deadly Hours anthology: I borrowed this for Susanna Kearsley’s novella Weapon of Choice, which is set in 1733 and features a couple of characters from A Desperate Fortune (along with a couple of couples from a couple of her other novels). This has a different sort of plot from her other stories -- there’s no newly developing romance, and no contemporary storyline -- but it was interesting to see Hugh’s marriage from his perspective. I glanced at the first pages of the other novellas and the only one which caught my attention was Siren’s Call by C.S. Harris, a murder mystery set during WWII.

The Switch by Beth O’Leary: After a panic attack at work, Lena is ordered to take a sabbatical. She suggests to her grandmother Eileen that they switch lives: for two months, Lena will look after Eileen’s house and community projects in Yorkshire, while Eileen will stay with Lena’s flatmates in London and try out internet dating. It’s interesting seeing the qualities Eileen and Lena share, and the variations within those. They’re very community-minded -- I enjoyed their cross-age friendships and willingness to reach out to their neighbours. Eileen in particular made me chuckle. And the story is predictable and tidy in ways which are quite appealing.

Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett:  Zorie likes planning and star-gazing. Camping’s outside her comfort zone but she hopes a trip with a school friend will be a chance to socialise more and escape tensions at home. But she’s left to hike home alone with her ex. I liked how the trip pushes Zorie and Lennon to resolve hurt feelings and misunderstandings, but the most compelling part of this story was seeing Zorie fall in love with hiking! Bennett vividly captures the challenges and the rewards of hiking through mountains in California. And I liked the close relationship Zorie has with her stepmother.

Rent a Boyfriend by Gloria Chao:  Faced with pressure to marry a family friend, nineteen year old Chloe hires a boyfriend for Thanksgiving. This example of fake dating requires more deception than some. It’s kind of stressful! But the story’s also a thoughtful, and ultimately positive, exploration of Chloe’s experience being the child of Chinese immigrants. Communication is complicated by her parents’ cultural expectations and because of how Chloe’s values and perspective differs from theirs. But bringing someone home -- who gets a front-row seat to the family’s dynamic -- turns out to be helpful. So, not quite the fake dating story I expected, but really interesting nevertheless.

The Swan Riders by Erin Bow:  This sequel to The Scorpion Rules is stressful and sharp (I expected as much, which is probably why I waited over a year before reading it). In the beginning, the situation is deteriorating and seems impossibly bleak. Yet the story works its way towards solutions which are unexpected, believable and hopeful. This is a thoughtful exploration of artificial intelligence and of being human. I was glad I read it, but, like the first book, I don’t really feel compelled to spend a lot of words reviewing it.

Hamster Princess: Little Red Rodent Hood by Urusla Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher):  This concludes Harriet’s story on a satisfying note but the preceding adventure didn’t appeal to me as much as the other books did. I suspect it just wasn’t written for me -- not the person I am now, nor the little girl I used to be. (The dedication reads: For all the little girls who grew up wanting to be werewolves.)

Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri: A noblewoman’s right to choose her own husband is considered sacred, but when Mehr is introduced to an unexpected suitor, she knows there will be consequences for her family if she refuses. I was immediately hooked. This is a story about power and magic and empire, yet its focus is personal, rather than epic -- Mehr, her identity and her relationships. I love how Mehr and Amun's relationship is built on choosing to be kind to each other in a situation in which they have few choices. I also liked how the story explores the choices people make to protect loved ones.

The Foyles Bookshop Girls by Elaine Roberts (narrated by Louise Amos): In the summer of 1914, Alice and her two closest friends are working at Foyles Bookshop. As a story of friendship and family during WWI, this sounds exactly my sort of thing, yet if an audiobook I was waiting for had become available sooner, I would have easily abandoned this. I wanted more details about working at Foyles, and more details about the job Alice gets driving ambulances, and stronger dialogue. These characters were all just a bit too good at saying what they really thought and felt. Most people aren’t that direct, articulate and self-aware all the time.

Virgin River by Robyn Carr:  I was interested to note the points of similarity and of difference with the Netflix adaptation, and interested in Mel’s experiences as a nurse/midwife in a rural community. I also liked that there’s a sense of time passing and that the main characters are comfortable letting the romance unfold slowly. But it’s written in a style which doesn’t quite appeal to me. I found something unsatisfying about times when Carr doesn’t show what Mel is feeling. By the end, some of the characters’ attitudes were beginning to irritate me, too.

Interrobang Planning

Skills/processes I have developed so far:

Photography

Painting

Printmaking

Film

Stitch work

Poetry / creative writing

Sculpture

Installation

Mixed media

Skills/processes I would like to develop further:

Sculpture – experimenting with materials to reflect context and concept;

Mixed media – combining sculpture, painting, photography within one form;

Performance – realising emotive contexts through physical performance – presence and absence: the body and what is cast off from the body

These four questions are designed to focus on three distinct areas and creative aspiration:

Question 1 relates specifically to medium; you should consider this as process-based research:

Materials: wax, latex, cloth / clothing, photographs, paintings, embedding objects (e.g. mirror fragments, clay imprints) within materials. Painting onto wax forms, stitching into materials, creating complex sculptural forms comprising of many different elements and materials.

Clay and magnets: experiment with incorporating iron filings and graphite filings into the clay and sculpting forms from them. Hang them alongside each other and strong magnets to create a push/pull effect between the sculptures. Could also try embedding the magnets in clay sculptural forms.

Materials and magnets – experiment with the filings in drying latex and use magnets to manipulate the shape?

Question 2 relates specifically to concept; this should question what your ideas are about.

My ideas for this project stemmed from thoughts surrounding the functions of sculptural practices with material outcomes as an extension of the self. This initially became apparent to me from spending time critically considering Eva Hesse’s practice and the hidden meanings embedded within it.

The process for the work I plan to create will involve capturing the ephemeral in real time through sculptural practices. It will also involve using materials to physically conceal and build up a complex narrative through mixed media. I will also explore the kinetic in order to produce a material depiction of the immaterial experience of connection, separation and longing.

Question 3 relates specifically to context; this should be read broadly and consider what context means to you. This could include place, time period (historical), space, artists, etc.

I will explore and consider the following contextual topics: Longing, remembering, forgetting, presence, absence, connection, separation, the act of shying away and burying emotions/feelings.

Question 4 relates specifically to creative aspirations, what you intend to do next with the rest of the module.

I plan to use this initial period of intense experimentation to explore various avenues of thought and material delivery. This will then lead me to consider how these ideas can be refined and interwoven with my existing practice output. It will become more apparent as my experiments unfold. I am hopeful that the material experiments that I complete throughout this short project will provide me with a solid idea about how I can refine and focus on for the remainder of the module.

My February & March Reads

99 Percent Mine, Sally Thorne - I took a vacation day to read this, romance genius Sally Thorne's second book, and it was one of my best ever decisions. Sally made the name Tom hot, can you believe it? Five enthusiastic stars.

Love Walked In, Marisa de los Santos - Beautiful writing, quirky characters, lots of snow and Christmas and food and references to everyone's favorite literary orphans. This book made me :)

The Flatshare, Beth O’Leary - Oh hello, I've already read this book twice! I love the premise (a nightshift guy and a dayshift woman share an apartment but haven't met; they get to know each other via post-it notes) and it's such a fast read. You’ll root for both of the main characters, there's a delightful friend group, interesting jobs (I love stories that incorporate work; we all spend so much time working, how can you not talk about it), and everyone muddles through their personal and professional problems with a lot of humor. Many thanks to Kerry for insisting I’d love this book so many times I went begging to NetGalley.

Nuts, Alice Clayton - So my pal Jenn gave me a stack of romance novels and I read each one’s summary to my sister and let her choose my first read. This book won annnnd guess what? I loved it. The story is ridiculous and hilarious, the writing is great, and I can't resist a book based around food descriptions. Clayton really captured the small-town charms of Hudson Valley, not to mention how gross NYC is on bulk trash day. Fingers crossed the next book in this series is about Roxie's best friend and the grouchy, hot dairy guy.

The Unlikely Romance of Kate Bjorkman, Louise Plummer - This ‘90s teen book is one I read in middle school and have been thinking about ever since; I finally found the title after years of searching and ordered it from Community Bookstore. It was a whole journey and you can read about it on my Instagram if you’d like. I reread it and nostalgia is a beautiful thing, folks. This is a holiday romance, a brother’s best friend romance, an ugly duckling romance, it’s everything. Can we have a Louise Plummer renaissance? Everyone request her YA books from your library and bookstore. Also, the Goodreads algorithm showed me other intriguing teen books from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and I’m now reading one by Norma Klein. I’ll report back!

We Are Okay, Nina LaCour - Sometimes I look up what book events are happening to remind myself why I live here, and that’s how I ended up at Books Are Magic on a Friday night in February to see Nina LaCour. ANYWAY, I knew I’d love this book as soon as Nina said she just likes writing about sad girls who collect pottery and drink tea. If I ever write books, this kind of book is one of my goals. It’s quiet YA to the max and it’s just so lovely.

The New Me, Halle Butler - Amazing writing, hilarious observations about that 9-5 office life, and a little less depressing than her first book. These are all compliments—read Halle Butler!

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, Rey Terciero & Bre Indigo - Ahhhh, it’s a modernized, graphic novelization of Little Women and it’s so freaking cute. I loved all the ways they updated the story without losing the essence of the original. I won’t write any spoilers but I will say that this version won’t leave you sad or disappointed. 

Red, White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston - I cannot believe this is a first novel, holy crap. It is SO funny and page-turny and the romance is so hot, my goodness. Plus all the side characters are amazing, I would like to read books about all of them (especially Nora). 

Friday Black,  Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah - You have to take your time with this collection, or at least I did. It's so impressive and stressful! Adjei-Brenyah's writing is like George Saunders' but with a stronger point of view, and his stories are like Black Mirror episodes but with smarter social commentary. If you haven't read this yet, add it to your list.
