Queer Social Reproduction and Resistant Imagination

Activity: EventsWorkshop

Description

Workshop co-organised with Dr Lola Olufemi, co-ordinated by Ira Hybris and the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence.

This workshop explored the relationship between theories of social reproduction, the imagination and queer sociality as experienced by political subjects in the context of political struggle. What does being with each other in sites and confrontation and resistance do to our perceptions of ourselves and others? How exactly do we make and unmake each other? We invite participants to read and discuss archival excerpts which challenge the notion of the sovereign subject in favour of conceiving of a subject that is invariably changed by the imposition of race, sex and class which reveal relationships of dependency and exploitation with others.
