Get ready to dive deep into the history of lesbian love stories and explore what it meant to express queer female love before the word "lesbian" even existed. Amelia starts with the mythos behind Sappho, an ancient Greek poet who is known for her queer female love poetry! Then Amelia explores the history of queer women like Gloria Anzaldua, Virginia Woolf, and Mabel Hampton. She explains that encountering these stories helped her understand how these women were embracing a politics of care and love that existed outside of capitalism. Their stories reveal how capitalism has excluded queer bodies and queer stories since they exist outside of patriarchal systems of oppression. You'll learn a lot from Amelia about how these lesbian ancestors and even Walt Whitman's democratic spirit helped her envision what a caring and inclusive democracy actually looks like. And why did a few gay men on her swim team make her want to look underneath the surface of lesbian romance?

In episode 102 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss diverse ideas of racial mixedness, from family-oriented models of mixed race to José Vasconcelos' and Gloria Anzaldua's idea of the ‘mestizo' heritage of Mexican people. They work through phenomenological accounts of cultural hybridity and selfhood, wondering how being multiracial pushes beyond the traditional Cartesian philosophical subject. Is mestizaje or mixed-race an identity in its own right? What are its connections to the history of colonialism and contemporary demographic trends? And, how can different relations to a mixed heritage lead to flourishing outside of white supremacist categories?Check out the episode's extended cut here!

Melinda opens with a story of losing her luggage on an impromptu trip to Montgomery, Alabama to see the Legacy Museum from Enslavement to Mass Incarceration. Melinda describes the experience of visiting the museum (she suggests taking multiple days to slowly engage with the concept) and what that brought up for her about borderlands. She connects the impact of enslavement to her ancestors in Cape Verde and what that means as a white passing person. She discusses the intentional creation of hierarchy in Cape Verde. She names that she sits at the intersection of oppressed and oppressors. Melinda then shares where she got the concept of borderlands - from a poem “To Live in the Borderlands” by Gloria Anzaldua. Melinda explores this idea of mixed identity and what it means to sit on the borders, rather than pick a side. Liberation exists on the borderlands. Melinda returns to the history of Cape Verde and how the intentional creation of hierarchy including a mixed race impacts culture and identity. She asks how borders can be apart of our liberation and our understanding of how oppression is designed. Melinda connects back to her physical appearance as a place of respite and a battle ground for race and gender. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melinda-barbosa/message

Money is back this week talking a tea to help calm your nerves, which was much needed after hearing that WNBA star (and lesbian heartthrob) and 2x Olympic Gold Medalist Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for over 3 weeks. I talk my understandings of what's going on, what scares me about the timing of her detainment, and hopes for her safe return home (timestamp in the description for this discussion). Gloria Anzaldua is QueerWOC of the week this week and her words were a much needed and timely reminder of what we face as QWOC. #FreeBG #FreeBrittney #FreeBrittneyGriner Where to find us: IG & Twitter - @queerwocpod FB - https://www.facebook.com/QueerWOCpod/ Tumblr - www.QueerWOC.com Listen to us on Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Castbox, PocketCasts Contribute to QueerWOC via CashApp: $QueerWOCPod Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/queerwocpod Rate, Review, Request, Repost, Retweet, and Reply!

Mission encre noire Tome 32 Chapitre 370. Les racistes n'ont jamais vu la mer par Rodney Saint-Éloi et Yara El-Ghadban, paru en 2021 aux éditions Mémoire d'encrier. Yara El Ghadban et Rodney Saint-Éloi nous invitent ici à dialoguer. Les deux écrivain.e.s se livrent à vous, sous la forme d'un échange épistolaire, riche et bienveillant. À partir de leur propres expériences et de leurs souvenirs, chacun.e tente de répondre à la question du racisme. Librement l'une et l'autre nous régalent de mots, d'idées, de poésie et d'anecdotes, qui malgré le sujet vous feront voyager. L'urgence est de se raconter pour que les villes s'enrichissent d'une mémoire collective inclusive et rassembleuse.Comme il est écrit ici: peut-être qu'il est temps pour les blancs d'écouter, et que le moyen le plus sûr est de partager ces récits qu'on ne raconte pas. Poussons-nous sous l'arbre à palabres, ce soir, aux côtés de mes invités, Yara El-Ghadban et Rodney Saint-Éloi sont à Mission encre noire. Extrait:« Les femmes ont tant subi la violence de la langue qu'elles ont développé leur propre vocabulaire. Elles nous ont donné le mot mansplaining pour dire la tendance des hommes à vouloir expliquer les choses aux femmes, comme on le fait aux enfants. Il y a aussi le whitesplaining, ces conversations entre blancs et non blancs, où chacun doit respecter son rôle. Par la couleur de notre peau, par nos accents et nos histoires, nous sommes les pauvres, les malavisés, les confus. Nous sommes le fardeau des blancs et leur responsabilité de maîtres du monde.

Osons danser sur this bridge call home. Sachons prêter l'oreille à cette conversation passionnante qui vous demandera sans doute de ralentir un peu, pour mieux ressentir l'écho d'une voix unique, celle de Gloria Anzualda. À partir de ses réflexions, Karine Rosso et Nicholas Dawson reprennent un échange épistolaire amorcé avec l'ouvrage Se faire éclatée, expériences marginales et écriture de soi qui s'achevait précisément sur une citation de la langue enflammée de Gloria Anzaldua. Cette nouvelle rencontre est une invite à reprendre leur dialogue autour de l'œuvre de l'autrice d'origine texane décédée le 15 mai 2004 à Santa Cruz. Ce livre, c'est aussi l'histoire d'une amitié, l'une et l'autre nous offrent une traversée intime des continents pour «décentrer la parole blanche, unilingue et consensuelle qui domine les médias et la culture» comme le souligne Pierre-Luc Landry en préface. Nous sommes un continent appelle à un changement du monde et à ses façons de penser.

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm picking up on the Coyolxauhqui Consciousness of Gloria Anzaldua. We delving deep into the importance of shadow work as a tool for spiritual revolution, the likes of which are necessary to manifest the changes we seek in this world. This aint some fake-woke social justice platitude on Anzaldua's behalf, though - this is a steadfast challenge for us to reach through the deepest wounds of our being in order to help connect and re-member us to all people's on this planet, irrespective of their background. Stay woke fam...
Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today's book is This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color. It's an anthology of essays, letters, and poetry by Black, Native American, Asian American, and Latina women, some of whom identify as lesbian. It was edited by Cherrie Moraga and Gloria Anzaldua, and published in 1981. I had never read a book like this before, and because all the essays are written in the first-person, and based on their real lives and thoughts and feelings and hopes and anger and grief, I had the sense of sitting next to them or reading their diaries - which was sometimes uncomfortable. And I am sooo grateful for that discomfort because it pushed out and expanded the borders of my understanding and helped me think about some things differently, and it increased my empathy. And I'm not someone who has lived in a bubble - I've lived abroad in several different countries, I speak Spanish and have many close friends in South America, I am lucky to have a circle of friends that includes lots of different backgrounds. And yet with this book, I found myself constantly pushed to learn, to consider new points of view, and my heart and mind grew so much. So I highly recommend reading this book in its entirety! And I'm so excited to discuss it with my reading partner today, Jenn Lee Smith. Hi, Jenn! Jenn: Hi, Amy! Amy: Jenn and I have tons of mutual friends in California, and our daughters know each other as well, but it wasn't until a few months ago that she and I went on a few walks together and discovered that we have a ton in common and should have been getting together for years. Also, some listeners may be familiar with Jenn's work: she is a producer behind the award-winning films, “Faithful,” which is about “two women in love with each other and their religion,” and “Jane and Emma,” which is about the friendship between Joseph Smith's wife Emma Smith and a Black convert named Jane Manning James. Jenn, I'm so grateful that you agreed to read this book with me - I know you had read it before - in fact I think you were the one who suggested putting it on the reading list, right? I remember when you were first building up your reading list, I was missing the books that helped define my feminist identity in grad school. I had read This Bridge Called My Back and Sister Outsider and declared myself a Third Wave / Transnational Feminist. Lol. Roxane Gay - Bad Feminist - realized I was better at being a Bad Feminist. Introduce yourself - tell who you are, where you're from, and what perspective you bring to the discussion. Jenn: Bio I was born on an island called Taiwan and most Taiwanese would like it to be recognized as a country, however, China claims it is a province. Regardless, Taiwan is a friendly, vibrant, democratic “place” and the first to legalize same-sex marriage in Asia in 2019. I was five when I immigrated to the U.S. growing up in UT and CA. I studied international relations for my undergrad in Utah and then started a PhD in Feminist and Human Geography at UCLA, which I never finished because I discovered screenwriting and film producing classes, instead. But I did earn a Masters in Geography, which is useful in the film producing of mostly documentaries. I welcome opportunities to be a part of film and writing projects that explore underrepresented stories particularly at complicated intersections. For example, I started my producing career focused on films at the intersection of religion and sexual orientation. One of those films will be out on Netflix in August. It's called Pray Away. Another film is called Dilemma of Desire about the gender politics around not recognizing female sexual desire - it's rooted in Audre Lorde's essay Uses of the Erotic (from Sister Outsider, which is the next book in the podcast?). Right now I'm collaborating on a film on indigenous knowledge of...
What's good world, we're back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm talking occultism, mass media manipulation, the harvesting of our sacred energy by our reptilian overlords, the role genetics and epigenetics play in shaping the way we interface with reality, and... shadow work? Yeah dawg, all that and then some, namely how these lizard people over at Illuminati Headquarters TM are using mass media as a means of engaging in occultist practices that siphon our sacred energy to help fulfill their dark desires, and, in turn, the power we have to overcome this by reclaiming our power. I introduce Gloria Anzaldua's concept of the Coyolxauhqui Consciousness to help explain how that midnight black shadow work is a necessary means of bringing about the 'spiritual revolution' that is necessary to re-create the better world we desire. Stay woke fam...

"Sei que é impossível estar pra sempre abraçada ao amor, mas tentar é algo que emociona. Eu também tento, uns jeitos piscianos de me agarrar a coisas pequenas. Penso na minha família, na luz inclinada de outono pegando as pernas do meu pai sentado no banco do quintal, minha mãe trazendo o bulezinho amassado com café, queria poder ficar pra sempre abraçada a esse amor das pequenas coisas, são elas que não cansam de me emocionar. A ideia de poder abraçar de novo as pequenas coisas, me emociona.” Chegou mais um episódio de reflexões e indicações da nossa querida Estela Rosa! Junto com ela, te convidamos a ouvir e descobrir como abraçar as pequenas coisas nesse Curadoria, que inicia uma série especial sobre artistas latino-americanas.

Gloria Anzaldua em “Falando em línguas: uma carta para mulheres escritoras do terceiro mundo” “(...) Por que sou levada a escrever? Porque a escrita me salva da complacência que me amedronta. Porque não tenho escolha. Porque devo manter vivo o espírito de minha revolta e a mim mesma também. Porque o mundo que crio na escrita compensa o que o mundo real não me dá. No escrever coloco ordem no mundo, coloco nele uma alça para poder segurá-lo. Escrevo porque a vida não aplaca meus apetites e minha fome. Escrevo para registrar o que os outros apagam quando falo, para reescrever as histórias mal escritas sobre mim, sobre você. Para me tornar mais íntima comigo mesma e consigo. Para me descobrir, preservar-me, construir-me, alcançar autonomia. Para desfazer os mitos de que sou uma profetisa louca ou uma pobre alma sofredora. Para me convencer de que tenho valor e que o que tenho para dizer não é um monte de merda. Para mostrar que eu posso e que eu escreverei, sem me importar com as advertências contrárias. Escreverei sobre o não dito, sem me importar com o suspiro de ultraje do censor e da audiência. Finalmente, escrevo porque tenho medo de escrever, mas tenho um medo maior de não escrever.”

In the spirit of the topic of the show for today, Dave and Bob meander on various dystopias, stories, psychology, and news events relating to movement. Global movement has been profoundly affected during the pandemic. Yet, taking a page from Joyful Militancy, the brothers attempt to weave together crucial ideas of movement: who gets to move? If movement leads to change, how can we harness movement?

Although I agree with that statement for a number of reasons, I focus on several specific genres, and discuss prominent examples of protest literature from each. ************************************************************************************************************************************************ Email me: marisadellefarfalle@gmail.com Twitter: @marisadee13 I'd also really appreciate it if you could take a moment to rate & review this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher! ************************************************************************************************************************************************ Helpful links: "#PitMad": https://pitchwars.org/pitmad/ "Social Novel": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_novel "The Enduring Importance of Richard Wright," by Milton Moskowitz: https://www.jbhe.com/features/59_richardwright.html "The Philosophy of Protest: Thoreau, King, and Civil Disobedience," by Scotty Hendricks: https://bigthink.com/politics-current-affairs/philosophy-civil-disobedience?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1 "Common Sense by Thomas Paine": https://www.ushistory.org/paine/commonsense/ "Frederick Douglas – Social Reformer," by Nathaniel Jordan: https://rarega.org/2018/02/10/frederick-douglas-social-reformer/ "West Memphis Three": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three "Poems of Protest, Resistance, and Empowerment": https://www.poetryfoundation.org/collections/101581/poems-of-protest-resistance-and-empowerment "African American Protest Poetry," by Trudier Harris: https://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/tserve/freedom/1917beyond/essays/aaprotestpoetry.htm "To Live in the Borderlands," by Gloria Anzaldua: https://powerpoetry.org/content/live-borderlands

Confessions of a Firework An interactive book of poetry + prompts Read by Angela Aguirre + Forward by Natalie Patterson Confessions of a Firework was published in 2016 by World Stage Press. It is a wound I willingly re-open, page after page. The work found here is broken into sections that cluster together the poems in each category: Identity, love, heartbreak, death, growth, and womanhood. In each section, you will find relevant quotes from the Chicana Feminist author and my hero, Gloria Anzaldua. One of the key sources of my personal inspiration and creative awakening. With my background in teaching and my work as a mentor, I did not want to create a collection that left out that part of me. After each section you will find writing prompts inspired by my poems. Confessions of a Firework is a personal invitation to the reader to take a journey with me back to some of the most formative moments in my life, and ultimately it is an opportunity to extract the lessons from those moments for themselves. Before you read it, I ask of you the same thing I ask of my students: to enter into this moment with me with open ears, an open heart, and a willingness to learn. PLEASE share this free resource with anyone who needs it (ESPECIALLY TEACHERS) and don't forget to subscribe + leave a review. That is the easiest way you can support me and my work. THANK YOU! Love + light, Angie
La Profesora introduces her sistah-scholar, Dra. Judy Marquez Kiyama, and her Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Sarah Gonzales, who will showcase poetry at the end of every episode. Judy talks with us about her journey from a mining town in Arizona to life after tenure as a faculty member. Sarah shares how her love of poetry led to creating a spoken word emancipatory project for young people. Both share where they draw inspiration to siguir adelante in the midst of difficult journeys to and through higher education. Sarah reads a poem from Chrystos entitled "Meditation for Gloria Anzaldua".
This podcast engages across trauma studies to consider Gloria Anzaldua's writing on healing: "You don't heal the wound. The wound heals you." I also discuss mind-body connection and the deep anxiety many people have to be/dwell consciously within the sensations and feelings of their own bodies.
Poet and scholar Gloria Anzaldua said "a woman who writes has power, and a woman who has power is feared." My guest Kelly Wickham Hurst says "Once writing started to happen for me, there was power there." So we explore the unfurling of Kelly's power and how she found her identity as a storyteller. Kelly Wickham Hurst used her many years as an educator and the power of her voice to create Being Black at School, which advocates for equity and safety for Black students. Kelly's team helps teachers, school boards, and students navigate tough conversations in the classroom. Kelly is a systems thinker, and she's taking on a big, broken system. This episode will be useful for anyone who's wondering how to make the leap from personal writing into activism, or how to take a lifetime of professional knowledge into a brave new place.
First broadcast on KPFK on May 2, 2018. The conversation is with a professor of multicultural women's studies at Texas Women's University. Analouise is a close colleague and scholar of Gloria Anzaldua. She writes about spiritual approaches to transformation, indigenous worldview, post-oppositional politics and the opportunities there are to embody and enact feminist principles in the classroom.
In this episode with Dr. May Elawar, we discuss postcolonial feminism, epistemic vigilance, how can knowledge liberate rather than oppress, knowledge at the borderlands, going a step beyond identity politics, spiritual activism, being and becoming, interdependence, Gloria Anzaldua and conocimiento, Starhawk's work and vision for humanity, decolonizing the divine, and why liberatory work needs magic and magic needs to be liberatory. May Elawar, PhD, teaches in the Transformative Inquiry program at CIIS and previously taught in the Women's Spirituality program. May received her PhD in Philosophy and Religion with a concentration in Women's Spirituality from CIIS. She holds an MA in International Relations from the American University in Washington, DC, and a BA in Political Science. She is interested in bridging spirituality/religion with social justice activism. May is Lebanese, and came to the US as an international student. She is particularly interested in exploring alternative and non-western philosophical frameworks to address theories of knowledge, identity, gender, colonialism/postcolonialism, and globalization. May's research and activism has focused greatly on social justice in the Arab and Muslim world, particularly for women. Through her work in the Women's Spirituality Program, May is active with a number of groups in the Bay Area who are involved in exploring transformative practices for healing gender-based violence.

This week we've pulled together a really special podcast in celebration of International Women's Day. The gang held Q&As with 8 women in business, tech, media and advocacy roles to discuss what feminism means today, what they hope it can become, and how we can all better engage with it. We had a really great, diverse set of responses representing a range of feminist thought. A definite theme was just how considered, positive and inclusive feminism can be - contrary to its caricatured representation in the media. ___ Our participants: Áine Mulloy - co-founder of Girl Crew, a social media app for women and girls (Twitter: @AineMulloy @GirlCrewHQ App: bit.ly/2EYw8y3) Genista T-A - works in publishing, book-worm, has views on important stuff, friend of the pod (Twitter: @geninldn @Bloomsburybooks) Jasmine Andersson - investigations journalist at (LGBTQ+) Pink News, and co-founder of The 2nd Source tackling harrassment in media (Twitter: @the__chez @PinkNews @The2ndSource) Jennifer Riggins - tech marketer, and work-at-home first-time mum of a baby boy (Twitter: @jkriggins) Jo Osborne - Founder of SciApps and SkinNinja, an app uncovering ingredients in women's skincare products (Twitter: @thisisJoOsbourne @SkinNinjaApp, App: https://skinninja.com/) Season of the Bitch - Socialist Feminist Podcast from the USA (Twitter: @seasonoftheB, Site: https://www.seasonoftheb.com/).

In her transformative text Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, Gloria Anzaldua referred to the U.S.-Mexico border region as “una herida abierta (an open wound) where the Third World grates against the first and bleeds. And before a scab forms it hemorrhages again, the lifeblood of two worlds merging to form a third country–a border culture.” To Anzaldua the “open wound” or new culture of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands resulted from “the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary” (i.e., the imposition of the U.S.-Mexico border in the mid-19th century). Since the establishment of the U.S.-Mexico border, politicians, local officials, businessmen, and residents have competed over the definition, control, and memory of the region. In Dissonant Divas in Chicana Music: The Limits of La Onda (University of Minnesota Press, 2012) Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Riverside, Deborah R. Vargas deconstructs the dominant narrative tropes that have defined the U.S.-Mexico borderlands as a hetero-normative and masculinist frontier space of Anglo American conquest juxtaposed against Tejano/Chicano efforts to resist Anglo dominance through the preservation of “authentic” Mexican culture. dIn her fascinating analysis of Tejana/Chicana singers and musicians, Dr. Vargas argues that the lives of these “dissonant divas” resist simple classification as either purveyors of Mexican culture or as accommodating and assimilating Anglo American cultural norms and values. Indeed, through her investigation of the intersection of race, place, gender, music, and memory in the Texas-Mexico borderlands, Professor Vargas provides a new lens into the identities and histories that emerge from the new cultural space Anzaldua referred to as the borderlands.
