Event Details

In this class Apikoros will talk about and challenge the current dominant historiographies of rope, and will call attention to how little is known about rope history outside of Japan. Apikoros will focus on queer representations of rope during the Showa period, noting that Japanese sources actually display a far greater mix of queer and straight content than one would expect. There will also be time to pivot to a discussion of the complicated transnational and colonial context.

The goal of the class is to sit with some of the complication of tying’s past and to open conversation to how paying attention to the historical particulars can allow us to think about rope and sexuality in new ways, elaborating the value of the queer retrosexual gesture in both questioning narratives about progress and finding new ways to exist.
