Feminism Under Corona. Radical Sociability – Lou Drago


Listen Later

The title of the third episode „Radical Sociability“ refers to a recent lecture by artist, curator, writer and radio producer Lou Drago in which they were unfolding the complexity of the relationship between identity politics and the current and growing division of the Left. As a way of overcoming the divisive effects of identitarianism, they propose "to enact an intersectional affinity-based politics". In order to avoid the dynamics of the current "cancel culture", so present and constant in social networks, Lou's proposal is based on calling-in rather than calling-out. This conversation between Lou Drago and Sonia Fernández Pan navigates through issues and situations such as the binary understanding of reality, gender abolitionism, the naturalized and somehow hidden ideology of language, xeno-feminist desires, queer as a methodology and constant practice of unlearning, different personal experiences produced by the covid-19, and the different political events of the last weeks as a result of the forms of violence of structural racism.
