(…) THE WORK ISN’T FINISHED UNTIL FASCISM IS DEAD, Vol. 2: body politics
© Gedvilė Tamošiūnaitė
Globally, we see the body at the centre of political trench warfare – bodies that are being disciplined – female, queer, Black, PoC, sick, disabled, and bodies affected by poverty. Body politics are central issues on which conservative and (neo-)liberal politics repeatedly seem to align themselves with right-wing and fascist movements.
Whether it is abortion laws, reproductive rights, LGBTIQ+ rights, fair distribution and access to healthcare or laws regulating sex work and drug use: Authoritarian policies worldwide threaten the autonomy of bodies, especially of marginalized groups. Queer and feminist artists are increasingly being attacked and threatened by right-wing and conservative groups and politicians, often with a strong focus on body politics. Where does this focus come from and what are the underlying politics and strategies?
Together with Paula-Irene Villa Braslavsky, Chair of the German Sociological Association and Chair of General Sociology / Gender Studies at the Institute of Sociology at LMU Munich and Mine Pleasure Bouvar Wenzel, a political educator with a focus on on politically instrumentalized transphobia and fascism studies, we will discuss the current dangers to the autonomy of our bodies with a view to the upcoming elections in Germany and beyond. And ask how progressive structures can take effective action against the alliance of conservative and right-wing narratives.
BOTH SUN & MOON COME OUT TO FUCK UP FASCISTS. THE WORK ISN’T FINISHED UNTIL FASCISM IS DEAD, Vol. 2: body politics
