Download or read book Reverse Cowgirl written by McKenzie Wark and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McKenzie Wark invents a new genre for another gender: not a memoir but an auto-ethnography of the opacity of the self. Another genre for another gender. What if you were trans and didn't know it? What if there were some hole in your life and you didn't even know it was there? What if you went through life not knowing why you only felt at home in your body at peak moments of drugs and sex? What if you expended your days avoiding an absence, a hole in being? Reverse Cowgirl is not exactly a memoir. The author doesn't, in the end, have any answers as to who she really is or was, although maybe she figures out what she could become. Traveling from Sydney in the 1980s to New York today, Reverse Cowgirl is a comedy of errors, chronicling the author's failed attempts at being gay and at being straight across the shifting political and media landscapes of the late twentieth century. Finding that the established narratives of being transgender don't seem to apply to her, Wark borrows from the genres of autofiction, fictocriticism, and new narrative to create a writing practice that can discover the form of a life outside existing accounts of trans experience: an auto-ethnography of the opacity of the self.
Download or read book Autotheory as Feminist Practice in Art Writing and Criticism written by Lauren Fournier and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autotheory--the commingling of theory and philosophy with autobiography--as a mode of critical artistic practice indebted to feminist writing and activism. In the 2010s, the term "autotheory" began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.

Download or read book Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Through written by T Fleischmann and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. G. Sebald meets Maggie Nelson in an autobiographical narrative of embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzáles-Torres’s artworks—piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles—as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community.

Download or read book An Apartment on Uranus written by Paul B. Preciado and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “dissident of the gender-sex binary system” reflects on gender transitioning and political and cultural transitions in technoscientific capitalism. Uranus, the frozen giant, is the coldest planet in the solar system as well as a deity in Greek mythology. It is also the inspiration for uranism, a concept coined by the writer Karl Heinrich Ulrich in 1864 to define the “third sex” and the rights of those who “love differently.” Following Ulrich, Paul B. Preciado dreams of an apartment on Uranus where he might live beyond existing power, gender and racial strictures invented by modernity. “My trans condition is a new form of uranism,” he writes. “I am not a man. I am not a woman. I am not heterosexual. I am not homosexual. I am not bisexual. I am a dissident of the gender-sex binary system. I am the multiplicity of the cosmos trapped in a binary political and epistemological system, shouting in front of you. I am a uranist confined inside the limits of technoscientific capitalism.” This book recounts Preciado's transformation from Beatriz into Paul B., but it is not only an account of gender transitioning. Preciado also considers political, cultural, and sexual transition, reflecting on issues that range from the rise of neo-fascism in Europe to the technological appropriation of the uterus, from the harassment of trans children to the role museums might play in the cultural revolution to come. An Apartment on Uranus is a bold, transgressive, and necessary book.

Download or read book The Beach Beneath the Street written by McKenzie Wark and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over fifty years after the Situationist International appeared, its legacy continues to inspire activists, artists and theorists around the world. Such a legend has accrued to this movement that the story of the SI now demands to be told in a contemporary voice capable of putting it into the context of twenty-first-century struggles. McKenzie Wark delves into the Situationists’ unacknowledged diversity, revealing a world as rich in practice as it is in theory. Tracing the group’s development from the bohemian Paris of the ’50s to the explosive days of May ’68, Wark’s take on the Situationists is biographically and historically rich, presenting the group as an ensemble creation, rather than the brainchild and dominion of its most famous member, Guy Debord. Roaming through Europe and the lives of those who made up the movement – including Constant, Asger Jorn, Michèle Bernstein, Alex Trocchi and Jacqueline De Jong – Wark uncovers an international movement riven with conflicting passions. Accessible to those who have only just discovered the Situationists and filled with new insights, The Beach Beneath the Street rereads the group’s history in the light of our contemporary experience of communications, architecture, and everyday life. The Situationists tried to escape the world of twentieth-century spectacle and failed in the attempt. Wark argues that they may still help us to escape the twenty-first century, while we still can.

Download or read book Classic and current sexual positions Spice up your relationship with favorite sexual positions in wild and erotic ways written by and published by jideon francisco marques. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION BEING EXCITED AND AROUSED FOR SEX is a wonderful feeling. For the most part, we could say this is half the battle—a requirement, even—but unfortunately, simply wanting sex is not always the be-all and end-all to having great sex. Sometimes, finding creative and fun ways to do it can be a challenge. Sex, like all things, can become monotonous, boring, or lackluster if done often enough in the same way. While not all people get tired of sex, even when they do it a lot, it can be nice to learn a new thing or two. With time our bodies change, and with experience so do our minds. Expanding our sexual repertoire can teach us not only about our partners but also about ourselves. A book on classic sex positions and their variations is not just for those seeking new variety, adventure, and possibilities. This is also a great guide for beginners who don’t know where to start, and for those who are curious about learning about sex and their bodies. But you don’t have to be a beginner or seeking excitement. There is something for everyone in these pages. Some important things to keep in mind as you explore these varieties of sex positions: ° Not every position is going to be great for everyone. Although there is probably a little something for every sexual being within these pages, it is important to remember that everybody is different. Some poses are harder for certain body types. Some poses will stimulate some and won’t do anything for others. If something doesn’t seem like it is working for you, don’t sweat it. Come back to it at a later time, or move on. ° Most sexual poses are easier if you feel comfortable in your environment and are relaxed. It is a little-known fact that when your muscles are relaxed your body is more open and flexible. Feeling safe with your partner helps and, of course, so does being aroused. And the two typically go hand-in-hand. ° Communicate with your partner. This may seem obvious, but it’s surprising how much we tend to hold back during sex. Don’t hesitate to get the conversation going around sex. Be generous with your words. Ask your partner how it feels, and let him or her know what is working for you and what isn’t. Telling your partner ahead of time what you like, dislike, are willing to do, and would like to explore are great ways to break the ice around sex and start building a sexual repertoire together. Communication can also be in the form of body language or moans and groans, which nonverbally suggest that something feels good. Be sure to pay attention to these. Last but not least, dirty talk is also a form of communication, especially when used during sex, and can take each variation to the next level. ° Remember that sex is not only about penetration. Learn to incorporate your hands, fingers, and mouth—not just your genitals. When we go into sex with just the genitals in mind, we inevitably ignore other aspects of feeling and touch. By making sex a full-body experience, we foster mind-body connection. The anus, perineum, testicles, breasts, and nipples (for both men and women) are all highly erogenous zones. Don’t ignore these areas! ° Sex does not have to be goal-oriented. The positions in this book focus on man-woman positions, so each variation involves an aspect of intercourse. This does not mean that intercourse must take place for the pose to be successful, nor does it mean that orgasm is a requirement either. Attempting the pose alone can provide a lot of fun and excitement. Remember to enjoy the experience and not focus on the goal of orgasm. ° Speaking of orgasm, considering the fact that most of the poses include an element of penis-vaginal penetration, it is important to note that vaginal orgasms are not the norm for a majority of women. While some women do experience the G-spot orgasm, this is not going to be true for every woman. The G-spot is located inside the vagina, on the anterior wall. More common is the clitoral orgasm. The clitoris is found outside of the vagina, near the front of her labia and above the urethra. The vagina does have some sensitive spots, such as the G-spot; however, in terms of nerve endings, relatively speaking, the clitoris is much more sensitive. ° Consider adding sex toys to your sexual repertoire. Including toys allows us to think outside of the box and encourages a healthy sexuality that emphasizes growth and learning. When we add toys, we also remind ourselves that sex is about having fun and experimenting with what feels good. ° I can’t speak highly enough about lubrication. Whether or not we are naturally lubricated is not necessarily an indication of whether or not we are emotionally aroused. The two are not mutually exclusive. If both partners agree this is something they want, then lube is your best friend. Having a few good types of lube on hand is a good idea. Water-based lubes are best if using condoms. Organic lubes will have the least irritants. Silicone-based lubes will be the slickest, but may not be great when used with silicone toys. Avoid lubes with parabens and glycerin because they can cause irritation. There are a lot of lubes out there, so experiment to find what works for you and your partner. ° Condoms are always a good idea, unless you are in a long-term monogamous relationship, and/or both parties are sharing sexually transmitted disease (STD) sexually transmitted infection (STI) results. ° Another option for safe sex is mutual masturbation. Whether you are touching yourself and/or touching each other, if no fluids are exchanged you are less likely to contract an STI or HIV. Also, mutual masturbation can be a highly erotic experience, connecting two people in a very intimate way. So, definitely don’t count this out. Sex has endless possibilities when you open your mind and let your imagination run wild. So get out there, start exploring, and start growing and learning. Whether you are seeking daring adventures or just trying to learn something new, remember to be safe and have fun!
Download or read book I m Very into You written by Kathy Acker and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tempestuous email correspondence between Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark, shimmering with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. “Why am I telling you all this? Partly 'cause the whole queerness/identity thing for me stretches through everything, absolutely everything. Slipping between straight/gay is child's play compared to slipping between writer/teacher/influence-peddler whatever. I forget who I am. You reminded me of who I prefer to be.” [M.W.] “It's two in the morning... I know what you mean about slipping roles: I love it, going high low, power helpless even captive, male female, all over the place, space totally together and brain-sharp, if it wasn't for play I'd be bored stiff and I think boredom is the emotion I find most unbearable... ” [KA] —from I'm Very into You After Kathy Acker met McKenzie Wark on a trip to Australia in 1995, they had a brief fling and immediately began a heated two-week email correspondence. Their emails shimmer with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. They write in a frenzy, several times a day; their emails cross somewhere over the International Date Line, and themselves become a site of analysis. What results is an index of how two brilliant and idiosyncratic writers might go about a courtship across 7,500 miles of airspace—by pulling in Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-files, psychoanalysis, and the I Ching. Their corresepondence is a Plato's Symposium for the twenty-first century, but written for queers, transsexuals, nerds, and book geeks. I'm Very Into You is a text of incipience, a text of beginnings, and a set of notes on the short, shared passage of two iconic individuals of our time.
