p. feijó | Episodes of Fantasy & Violence

RESCHEDULED: New date TBA

Drawing from her self-theoretical essay in poetic prose, Episódios de Fantasia & Violência (Episodes of Fantasy & Violence) (Orfeu Negro, 2024)p. feijó (UC Berkeley) speaks to us about a world that is violent toward what is non-binary or, in general, does not fit into the dominant male experience. By recalling certain episodes, she attempts to understand the role and nature of violent, obscene, and wrong pornographic fantasy, paying close attention to the body in metamorphosis that incites fantasy and transformation in other bodies. This contagious process of voluntary and involuntary somatic experimentation is also a monstrosity that heralds the end of this world.
