SAUNA TALKS 

Lecture Performance

Digitalized Fascisms, Shadow Democracies and the Trans Lesbian Response

Registration link

What is fascism ? Is Europe beyond democracy already? What can trans, non-binary and queer responses look like? And what do saunas have to do with it?

Based on her upcoming book, philosopher Luce deLire suggests the following: Fascism is digitalized tyranny. Democracy drowns in its own shadows, driven by capitalism and contractualism.

Hospitality is a way to pre-enact the future. Trans lesbianism, in the tradition of Monique Wittig, is a practice of hospitable euphoria. Saunas have been sites of fascist anti-trans propaganda - but could soon be seeds of the trans lesbian revolution. Au jus is the umbilicus of this movement.

Get ready. Get wet. Let's sweat.

Service message: The event will entail a fully functional sauna. Sweating and nakedness are optional. Bring your towel and slippers for best experience.

Luce deLire is a ship with eight sails and she lies off by the quay. As a philosopher, she publishes on the metaphysics of infinity but also on art, queer theory, anti-racism, postcolonialism, and political theory. In her performances, she embodies figures of the collective imaginary.
