Post/Porn/Politics (Queer_Feminist Perspectives on the Politics of Porn Performance and Sex_Work as Culture Production) ist der Reader zu einem gleichnamigen Symposium, das 2006 an der Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin stattfand und von Tim Stüttgen konzipiert und organisiert wurde.
Flo Gaertner und unser überaus geschätzter ehemaliger Mitarbeiter Patrick Hubbuch haben das grafische Konzept des Readers gemeinsam entwickelt und umgesetzt.
Aus dem Veranstaltungstext:
“The term post porn was made famous by the sexworker and performance artist Annie Sprinkle which established a new level of sexual representation: Through identifying with joy, independence and agency in sex-performance, Sprinkle made us think of sex as a queer/feminist counter-pleasure outside the victimising framework of censorship and taboo. Today, queer theorists like Beatriz Preciado or Marie-Helene Boucier re-evalue the term post-porn to theorise sex in the age of transgender subjectivity and disidentification, drag and cyberspace. When understanding pornography as a central dispositif of late capitalism for the normalisation and disciplination of pleasures and bodies, political ambivalences and counter-strategies are needed to be discussed and mapped out without totalising cultural pessimism.
This symposium, which features theorists, performers, filmmakers, artists and musicians, understands itself as a political intervention into both the heteronormative landscape of commercial porn production and the discourses of the mainstream public which make it impossible to think and practice criticism and pleasure at the same time.
In two conference-days, a performance night and a final party, queer-feminist approaches to porn are discussed, reflected, valued and affirmed in a wide range of contributions between utopia and scepticism.”
