Sexnegativity
nY, Flemish journal for literature, critique and entertainment, launches her latest issue titled 'Sex Negativity'. The topic of this issue is neither an anti-sex pamphlet, nor a critique of the optimistic sexual liberation movement in feminist and queer circles often referred to as 'sex positivity'. Sex negativity is not a choice for or against sex. The negativity of sex, the makers of this issue argue, indicates a split in the subject itself, preceding any social struggles. As subjects, we are not complete, sovereign or stable. There is no coherent 'I' that is or could become a master in its own house. Sex materializes the fundamental lack in ourselves, without resolving it. Sex does not liberate - yet it is exactly this negativity that allows for the possibility for change. The contributions in this journal originated as literary and theoretical reflections on this notion.
With readings by Obe Alkema (NL), Stefa Govaart (NL/EN) and Juliana Huxtable (EN, online), and a video work by Sands Murray-Wassink (EN). nY-editors Persis Bekkering and Tessel Veneboer give an introduction to the issue.

I Am With Fire Between My Teeth: Translating Monique Wittig
50 years after the publication of 'The Lesbian Body' and 20 years after her death, we honour the life and work of the French philosopher Monique Wittig (1953-2003) with two responses to her work. Wittig's focus on the abolition of the gender-class system inspired generations of (lesbian) feminists to engage with her ideas about the body, gender and sex.
By breaking the boundary between text and body, three artists respond to her work in translation: Monique Todd reads 'What is in m/y eye?' in response to 'The Lesbian Body' (1973), Amina Szecsödy and Chloe Chignell perform 'Shadow Text' in response to 'Les Guérillères' (1971).
This program will take place in English. Starts at 20:00 (doors open at 19:30). This event is part of #Wittig2023, an initiative of Ami.es de Wittig.
