SUMMARY:Kink is Political - Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Kinksters love talking about resistance. Sometimes it’s demonized\, like in the image of the sub who can’t submit or  the rope partner who has some impediment to becoming totally transparent in order to “share authentically.” Other times\, kink itself is framed as a practice of political resistance\, a political act that goes against sexual conservatism and the violence of the State. In this session we’ll ask: does it make it sense to use the same word for both registers? What is the broader political context and content within a notion of resistance? What does resistance entail? And how important is it to articulate what one is resisting against? Along the way\, we’ll think about what it means to use a concept with such a deep ties to scientific and therepeutic discourses. \nAbout this series\nKink is Political is an online discussion with Addie Tahl\, Georg Barkas\, Andrea Rimon\, and occasional special guests. Participants are invited to join a discussion during which we unite critique with an emphasis on the practical and day-to-day issues and challenges of kink\, intimacy\, and relationships. \nFocusing on concepts central to BDSM\, leather\, rope\, and sex-positive communities\, it interrogates widely adopted approaches and commonly held notions. It aims to understand the politics of kink beyond the language of sexual liberation and politics of sexual liberalism\, both frames that have proven insufficient in addressing widespread harm\, a rising international tide of sex-negativity and reaction\, or in guaranteeing that the most marginalized can sexually flourish. \nKink is Political is an examination of the contexts and consequences of how we talk about and understand gender and sexuality. It is a forum to think about how kink spaces and practices operate\, what works\, what doesn’t\, and what we can use to build something better.

SUMMARY:Kink is Political - Restraint
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we’ll read bondage and restraint as sexual practices within the context of BDSM against a broader history of restraint. Turning towards the anti-psychiatric work of Franco Basaglia and the ubiquity of physical restraint as a tool of the medical establishment and carceral state\, we’ll start to contend with what it means to take up and play with forms and techniques implicated in an almost unimaginable amount of violence and harm. We’ll ask: what logics of restraint in medical and carceral contexts end up reproduced in kink and sex-positive communities? How does the broader social and political practice of restraint shape who our spaces are accessible to and how? What are the impacts of legislation that criminalizes voluntary restraint? How do we take restraint more seriously?  \nAbout this series\nKink is Political is an online discussion with Addie Tahl\, Georg Barkas\, Andrea Rimon\, and occasional special guests. Participants are invited to join a discussion during which we unite critique with an emphasis on the practical and day-to-day issues and challenges of kink\, intimacy\, and relationships. \nFocusing on concepts central to BDSM\, leather\, rope\, and sex-positive communities\, it interrogates widely adopted approaches and commonly held notions.

SUMMARY:Kink is Political - Gossip
DESCRIPTION:Gossip\, we are told\, is something immensely corrosive. It tears groups apart. It presents a special danger to anyone involved in anything stigmatized or illegal. At the same time\, gossip is held up as one of the best ways to keep ourselves safe\, a recourse and resource for the marginalized to navigate danger and harm they can’t afford to confront head on. Whether or not gossip is a net good or evil\, there is one thing that’s clear: it is a common fixture of BDSM and sex-positive communities. In this session\, we’ll talk about how gossip circulates differently in different contexts. How can we think about gossip in a more granular way? What are its different circuits\, and how do they interact with different populations differently? What are the affordances of calling and calling out? What does it mean to choose to engage in something other than public\, formal complaint? How do we use gossip to shape both our who we are and the communities we belong to?  \nAbout this series\nKink is Political is an online discussion with Addie Tahl\, Georg Barkas\, Andrea Rimon\, and occasional special guests.
