Öffentliche Ringvorlesung "Critical Porn Studies - Künstlerisch-mediale Positionen und neue Perspektiven" (18.4.-18.7.2023)
Online-Vortrag in englischer Sprache
Queercrip porn is my favourite kind of porn. This talk explores some of the reasons why. In Unbreaking Our Hearts: Cultures of Un/Desirability and the Transformative Potential of Queercrip Porn (2015) I set out to explicate cultures of undesirability as both a conceptual framework to understand economies of desirability and as a lived experience within queercrip communities. I wanted to learn with and from other queercrip identified people about their strategies for navigating systemic and structural violence, erasure and exclusion that constitutes marginalized communities as undesirable others. As queercrip porn was a key strategy of focus, this work also generated queercrip porn collaboration, interview based community articulations of queercrip porn and extensive engagement with the transformative work of queercrip porn. Flaunting, flourishing, and fucking play together in the pleasure and politics of queercrip porn. Queercrip porn luxuriates and flaunts transformative queercrip pleasures and politics that provide sparkling pathways and roadmaps towards collective liberation a radically “cripped sexual universe” (Kafai 129)
