It seems far away when the lesbian s'écharpait because of sex toys and saw a symbol in the penetration of "hétéropatriarcat. Today, the new generation lesbian and feminist in France bears his taste for sex, plays freely with its kind, has entered the field of (post-) pornography, and claims areas to create new subjectivities. The writer
Virginia Despentes a tribute to filmmakers, activists, sex-workers preceding generation released today and set the course of pornography made by women (see here).
is why she has done "Mutantes" a feminist documentary, porn, punk invigorating and exciting that has "the ambition to play a savior, because cutting the prevailing discourse that wants Sex is never played as well as in the chamber, that the dignity of women is still dependent on their wisdom and passivity. " Yes lesbians can enjoy sex, brutality, sex work and show it.
The writer takes its hat to those who paved the road to recaptured the body, of women's sexuality and its representations, the United States in the 80s: Annie Sprinkle (photo), Maria Beatty, Lynn Breedlove, Candida Royalle, Carol Queen ... And gives us a beautiful panorama of the more recent who have taken up the torch.
As concluded (tentatively) Virginie Despentes, "the post-porn movement is a new stage of the feminist revolution."
stubborn: How did your documentary project?
Despentes VIRGINIA: I wanted to do something historic, because I knew I would not have the money for the archives, or something that speaks of tensions with the feminist abolitionists. Anyway, Fouque and Catherine Mac Kinnon would not answer us. I gave a voice to those who initiated it all in the early 1980s. I wanted to quickly come to Spain with Barcelona and talk Emilie Jouvet, the Queer Show X, I find it really well, so it's not something that died in the late 1980. The post-pornography, it circulates throughout today's Basque country, in Ljubljana, Berlin. It is a manifesto for lesbians. In the post-porn, people bossent on stuff really different from each other, it's cool, is not no problem uniformity.
Tristan Taormino, for example, is queer and always bump on preventive rather stuff really well done. Porn, when you see the reactions it elicits, it is clear that a plot of resistance. From Kiss me, France has not had this kind of film because the law has spoken very loudly, very clearly. And to do more work on sex for the porn out. There's more work of this kind. " Basically, I love violent movies, but when you can not represent the sex and violence than you can while you can, there is a problem. And, so, we end up with comedy, comedies, comedies, there may be other things to do in the movies, and I think porn is a front of resistance important for feminism, though. Not alone-porn will do anything for the undocumented, but it is. And especially when it's porn made by women.
Your book King Kong Theory more directed to all women. Here, you made a documentary inside the world of lesbian and lesbians?
Yes it's more what I wanted to do a film for lesbians, I like it, the thing that strikes me the most to me who becomes a lesbian 35 years is incredible is that you can see all the movies lesbians in a year without forcing you. Lesbian pornography, in three months, you've seen everything. That's cool. If the dykes can leave happy and straight by posing some questions for me is a very good thing, because, damn, it's not flooded! (Laughter.) Yeah, the obvious side of my documentary is assumed. And afterwards, it's true that this has not been for the film King Kong Theory, because it came out four years later, here I wanted to do something where you're happy to be queer, to the end.
Do you consider yourself as a bio-woman, lesbian, straight offset, cyborg straight? Or you do not define? I am not defined. In the eyes of others, I feel weird but I am not defined. After, I think lesbian. I have been together for four years with a woman. And I'm super happy. You
not say "tomorrow I could be with a guy?
No, although anything is possible, but I say never. I'm in love and super comfortable out of heterosexuality, the possibility of being out, it was like a liberation, you know, but unexpectedly, like Bruce Willis when he is stuck in a subway in flames, he sees an exit off I felt really like that of a sudden there is a light, because I was really super bad, I felt more at ease at all in the identity "heterosexual girl of 35 years, the future seemed less radiant. Yeah, I'm happy in this life, I did not even know until it happens that's beyond sexuality. Your look about yourself is different when the open your newspaper, turn you on when the TV, when you read a book, change your look over everything, and it's a real release, because hetero is not funny. But I come from there, and I can not see them as very far. They fucking shit, straight girls. Now when you're queer, we're in a good area of sexuality, love, desire, and it seems to me to say.
Post-porn, sex in his side-work is a powerful, carnal, to reclaim his body, but I know lesbians who were in prostitution and it has totally gun ... Already
post -porn and prostitution, they are completely different tools: a priori sex work is to earn your living, post-porn is not for a living, or so it's not a good idea . I know people who have been Dung by the recording industry, film, are plenty of jobs that you massacred, earn my living as a writer, it's a great luxury, but it broke me, it's super hard, there are times when you're desperate, the public is not funny. Even if you, you change not, the public is changing around you, because you got more of anonymity, because you're like a bitch on the subway, because there is always someone who recognizes you, and Once, you've just wanted to die. So yeah, sex work sometimes, it'll massacre. But I also know people drive for instance, who have lived within their industry a real civil war, and I find them very different from the old bitch in the corner. It is in systems who are slaughtering us to let us in the end, SDF to the curb. So good, I never said that sex work is smart at all. This is a job like any other, and there are girls more talented than others. But I think as said Norma Jean Almodovar marriage kills more than prostitution ... Afterwards, penalizing prostitutes, it will never do anything good, but I'm not a finding that glam!
Butler and Preciado I interviewed spoke of biopolitical strategies in sexuality, but one gets the impression that it lacks a bit of tenderness and romance and all ... The post-porn should not be ground that divests because it lacks affection or something. I love the post-porn! I am not seek affection in the post-porn, Annie Sprinkle talks about that really is the Love Art, and it interests me very much. But there is no hierarchy to the sex always seems disturbing today, scandalous, I know exactly when we bump in here it's a mess to find the right boundaries, the boundaries of people, the actual limits. By cons if I was working on Rwanda, I could show children cut, nobody would piss me off. Here, I can not show a girl who peed in the street what. It is important to show the images that wants is for questions that are to pass on Pink TV in the evening, and not on RTL 20h. The
porn, if only it is horrible and it's not to love there, but it's a great field, and that seems interesting example Barcelona and their brutality, it's interesting to show this because this is not what we expect of them girls, but hey, they are entitled. But I imagine Judith Butler on the front of the romantic ... (Laughter)
Not too anxious to return to France in the current political context?
Yes, thoroughly, but what happens in Spain is not too reassuring either, nor with nationalism or with the recent scandal because girls Zapatero had dinner with Obama dressed in Gothic. You got the impression that a war may be gone tomorrow. We lag the ball super glaucous, super morbid psychotic and in Europe. The Second World War is not over, the English Civil War is not over, it drags the real issues totalitarian. We know that this logic would not bring anything, executives can be winners, because they can better manage the crisis. I look where I can go and it's the same everywhere. After people, I love them all.
A question on another crux of the next pornography, is motherhood in feminism. We are going towards a technophile who uses artificial wombs. What do you think?
Me I'm for. We are not in a post-feminist propaganda has never been greater for women participating children. I think the desire to have children is not so natural and universal for all women than that. It is created by a speech is meant for twenty years, and has a purpose, is that going to war. Is produced in humans, because humans Sarkozy's son in a few years will take them to get killed. It is a propaganda Bonapartist type. Motherhood is an awesome power, and I do not understand why women do not use it by saying we will be more children until they are 35 per class, stop, as long as n 'There are no cribs, stop, until we GMO food, stop ... Did you complete power and you're not using ever?! Why is that politically, it never takes power? And then, there is a totally personal thing: why, for me, the artificial uterus would be a good thing, because for me to come to the mother is the total neurosis. Must break with the tradition of the mother.
Have you ever had a desire to have children? I had a real
desire for children around 35 years and I realized that I would not. As I had a toxic life, my body is older, it was a desperate and now it suits me really well. I really know people who have children, and now that I see great, I feel like, I felt like when they were babies. I find it really hard in what we put them in the world. Both are violent to have one and not have one and, for that is a real trap to be a girl. To return to the documentary, it seemed to me to make a documentary that does not speak of men, or maternity or contraception, just a gift to us!
lesbian visibility explodes, the chicks are on all fronts: feminism, rock, writing. Gays seem a bit behind ...
Yes, maybe. But meanwhile, they scored the look of all the straight boys, and it's great because when you're straight, it is the looks of thug, but after a while it drunk . And lesbian visibility, we're not there yet, therefore, should benefit. At the same time, it's not there yet. You have ministers in Spain that are large and journalists, but they do not say. We have a huge thing to play politics by saying we're queer. Because that straight, it's not necessarily cool, and if you know you got an alternative, it will not be the same, there will be a contagion. For heterosexuals, this is what we ask them, well say they love their shit, their femininity.
is not the same obligation when you're female and lesbian is a "feminine problems" and that is to say that femininity is not for heterosexuals. Should we took advantage of this visibility because there will be a backlash, fast and brutal. I think I'm pessimistic, must be done thoroughly and done everything that can go as long as we can, it can back in the form of war, will again love men who went to war, everything will be put in his place. At
when your lesbian porn? Now I'm mad
small English, Basque and Barcelona, but it's really complicated on many levels, complicated to ask girls to do something that I do not. As I already fuck myself, expose yourself of body but that are not yours. All take stage, all those in my documentary play in their own films, except Emily Jouvet. I will make a porno when I'm ready to play in, or else when I am very old. (Laughter.) If I make a porno with Barcelona, and I feel great today, there will be a maximum exposure, being the girl who made Baise-Moi a decade ago, we know that the Figaro think, VOD, and then I will expose girls, and it can be violent. When Maria Beatty Post Apocalyptic Cowgirls is people interested in watching it is a trial cultivation. Me if I make a porno, you know what any asshole thinks, and that is violent, the gaze of strangers can be super offensive.
