Abstract:

Voices of heterosexual white women have proliferated through the viral circulation of #MeToo. Notwithstanding the importance of highlighting misogyny and sexual violence within industries that frequently capitalize on women’s performing bodies, the movement has sometimes obscured queer, kink, trans, and other articulations of desire that fall outside of heteronormativity. What possibilities for political collaboration lie outside of affinity with #MeToo? Who might be excluded from such a collective enunciation and what might such alternative relationalities teach us? These questions form the background of the following discussion with Melissa Li and Kit Yan, collaborative artists whose work models a queer and trans praxis that might help reshape our understandings of desire and collectivity in the current moment.

摘要：

通过#MeToo 的病毒传播，异性恋白人女性的声音激增。尽管强调经常利用女性表演身体的行业内的厌女症和性暴力很重要，但该运动有时掩盖了酷儿、变态、跨性别和其他不属于异性恋规范的欲望表达。除了与#MeToo 的亲和力之外，还有哪些政治合作的可能性？谁可能被排除在这样的集体陈述之外，这种替代关系可能教给我们什么？这些问题构成了以下与 Melissa Li 和 Kit Yan 的讨论的背景，他们是合作艺术家，他们的作品模拟了一种酷儿和跨性别的实践，这可能有助于重塑我们对当前时刻的欲望和集体的理解。
