Podcast appearances and mentions of Jessa Crispin

"A poesia é onde tudo acontece”, escreveu Alejandra Pizarnik. E adiantou que dizer “liberdade” e “verdade” em referência ao mundo em que vivemos (ou não vivemos) é dizer uma mentira. “Só não é mentira quando se atribui estas palavras à poesia: o lugar onde tudo é possível.” Mas há muito que deixou de ser assim entre nós. Por cá a poesia é o lugar onde nada acontece, e são realmente muito poucos aqueles que declaradamente assumem a poesia como fala da insubmissão, e que através dela manifestam desprezo pelas formas do poder. Por essa razão, como já alguns fizeram questão de sublinhar, a poesia deve ser feita contra a poesia, e contra essa noção que hoje se vai tendo do poeta como personagem que se dá ares precisamente para esconder que nada tem a dizer, “e que por isso verseja, com vista a produzir um efeito, um prestígio que influa positivamente nas hierarquias do poder e do dinheiro” (Júlio Henriques). Começa a ser difícil perceber em que momento é que a poesia escapa a ser um desses discursos acomodatícios, alimentando o álibi cultural daqueles que gostam de ser vistos a patrocinar as artes e ver-se cercados dessas criações de estufa. Já a propósito das publicações colectivas que se têm generalizado nos nossos dias, desses almanaques ou antologias sempre a fim do regime celebratório, à boleia de comemorações e efemérides, Alfonso Berardinelli falava na importância de se impor algum critério de objectividade que rompesse com a tendência dos poetas de hoje para se auto-consolarem no seu pequeno gueto, onde nada nem ninguém os contradiz. “Os poetas criaram uma zona protegida para si próprios, contentam-se com pouco, esperam pouco de si próprios, são susceptíveis e vaidosos, mas não têm uma verdadeira ambição. Já não têm as grandes ambições que os poetas sempre tiveram – os quais podiam não alcançar grande repercussão, mas contavam com o valor e o poder dos seus versos. A força dos poetas sempre foi esta.” No ambiente desolador que por cá passa por espaço literário, há muito que se confunde o campo de criação literária com o da circulação dos livros, quando essa forma de proliferação apenas sinaliza como o meio editorial se tornou afim da agenda de consumo que nos vai sendo imposta, dissolvendo a perspectiva crítica nesse favor que promove um consenso ideológico e sem margem para os gestos de recusa e de confronto. À semelhança do que aconteceu com a poesia, e com tantas das categorias artísticas, os próprios movimentos de contestação social viram-se subsumidos às retóricas de reprodução de avatares sociais e identidades digitais, num processo que dá primazia às formas de autorrepresentação. Tudo é uma miragem, uma peça de teatro cujo cenário não tem centro, nem corpo ou geografia. Também o feminismo que assume mais visibilidade é cada vez mais uma forma de auto-indulgência, quase um reflexo de ordem narcisista, como nos diz Jessa Crispin. “Eu defino-me como feminista e por isso tudo o que faço é um acto feminista..." Trata-se de um argumento político de tal modo evidente e poderoso, que a melhor forma de o esvaziar passou por cooptá-lo como uma estética e uma forma de merchandising. No seu manifesto feminista – "Why I am not a feminist" –, Crispin vinca que a história do feminismo tem sido marcada por um “pequeno número de mulheres radicais, muitíssimo empenhadas, e que há custa de um enorme sacrifício fizeram avançar a posição das mulheres, normalmente através de actos e palavras chocantes”, sendo que a “maioria das mulheres, embora tenha beneficiado imensamente do desafio e do empenho dessas poucas, tratavam logo que possível de se dissociar delas”. Esta ensaísta norte-americana que recupera e honra as posições da segunda vaga feminista é implacável na denúncia do individualismo e do capitalismo, sistemas de valores que, segundo ela, distorceram totalmente os propósitos e o alcance do feminismo, encorajando as mulheres a pensar no movimento apenas na medida em que este conduz a ganhos individuais. “As últimas duas décadas dessa forma de feminismo enquanto lifestyle levou tantas mulheres a partirem do princípio que a coerência com o feminismo não significa abdicarem nem recusarem-se seja ao que for. Bastava vestirem o rótulo, e nem era justo que se sentissem pressionadas a renunciar ao casamento, à cultura popular misógina, às roupas de fábrica ou às carreiras corporativas para se alinharem com os princípios feministas – e o facto é que muitos dos nossos ‘intelectuais de proa' feministas se têm dedicado a todas as formas de contorcionismo no sentido de demonstrar como, não só nenhuma destas coisas é anti-feminista, como, na verdade, fortalecem o movimento.” Sara Araújo, a nossa convidada neste episódio, encarna bem esse trabalho árduo e o empenho que é essencial para que seja possível voltar a colocar a tónica no desmantelamento das hierarquias e dos elementos de opressão social que sempre estiveram na mira da crítica feminista. Investigadora do Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra durante quase duas décadas, acabou por cortar com aquela instituição na mesma altura em que vinham a lume as alegações sobre o clima de predação sexual e intimidação ou assédio moral no seio desta. Hoje, é uma das figuras chave no mais significativo acto de insurreição contra as estruturas despóticas que persistem na academia, que, volvidos 50 anos do 25 de Abril, ainda é essa incubadora dos mecanismos de poder e repressão que alimentavam a nossa ditadura tão afeiçoada aos seus pergaminhos catedráticos.

Tra luglio e agosto sui comodini di Giulia Pilotti e Ludovica Lugli sono passati due romanzi brevi, La mia Ingeborg del norvegese Tore Renberg (Fazi) e L'anello rubato della svedese Selma Lagerlöf (Iperborea).

Erano sei anni che i lettori della prima parte di La mia cosa preferita sono i mostri di Emil Ferris (Bao Publishing) aspettavano la seconda: è infine arrivata e Giulia Pilotti le ha lette entrambe. Gli altri libri del mese, letti da Ludovica Lugli, hanno invece a che fare con “mostri” più metaforici. In Mostri di Claire Dederer (Altrecose) si sviscerano i sentimenti che proviamo quando sappiamo che un artista di cui siamo fan ha fatto cose orribili o molto discutibili dal punto di vista etico, e nel romanzo Biografia di X di Catherine Lacey (Sur) lo stesso tema torna nel racconto della vita di un'artista che non esiste, ma ne ricorda altre.

Jessa Crispin speaks with two working artists, Philadelphia Orchestra bassoonist Daniel Matsukawa and mezzo-soprano singer Amber Fasquelle, about the sometimes precarious life in music. But there's a missing element: what is the role of the audience member in this ecosystem? Are we all just consumers or do we have other choices?

Over the next three episodes, we'll be exploring the state of classical music. Times are fraught! Attendance is down, institutions are broke (and in some cases broken), and scandals involving sexual harassment and racism have destabilized the music culture. On top of that, what do we want with the dusty old white guy music anyway? In this episode, host Jessa Crispin discusses how hard it is right now to get into difficult music as a listener. Using the figure of Gustav Mahler -- overlooked in his time while facing discrimination for being Jewish -- to think about our affinity for music and how one can build it. She talks to critics and scholars to learn what music does for us, and where listeners can go in a time when institutions are closing, music programs in schools are being shut down, and there's an understanding that art is only something for the wealthy.

I'll cover it in the first half and in the second I'll discuss some new ways to red pill younger guys before they ever start dating. Now let me share a bit from that article and I quote: "The overwhelming idea of “toxic femininity” in the wake of the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial is that of a villainous woman leveraging laws and sympathy against men. “It's high time we talk about toxic femininity,” say many social media commentators about the case, implicating, for some reason, Jada Pinkett Smith too in the whole affair. Comedian Bill Maher went on air to deride the infamous Oscar's slap as Smith's fault: “Alopecia is not leukemia… I blame toxic femininity,” he said. Even Senator Ted Cruz was posed the following question on a podcast: “The Women's March was this weekend. We are seeing women like Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith, Megan Markle, Kim Kardashian. Is it time we start talking about toxic femininity?” The more recent conversations around toxic femininity seem to be coming from men's rights groups who have been keeping a close watch on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. “Amber Heard, sobbing on the witness stand, represents the red-pilled man's most cynical fantasies of womanhood,” writes author Jessa Crispin. These reactions tell us the phrase “toxic femininity” itself is a rhetorical tool that undermines legitimate critiques of patriarchy and masculinity. Toxic masculinity lies at the heart of everything from wars, systematic rape, domestic violence, and sexual harassment. At the core of it is not only upholding rigid gender norms but also enacting the suppression of women and feminized bodies. “This use of toxic femininity is a reactionary backlash against feminist discussions of ‘toxic masculinity,'” Hannah McCann, a University of Melbourne lecturer in cultural studies, told Vice. If we are to talk about toxic femininity, therefore, men's rights activists cannot be the ones speaking." unquote. So that's condensed version of that article. Most of it was word vomit disguised as bullshit done to baffle the brain and sound smart. The only clarity in the article comes out when she attacks men's rights groups for using toxic femininity. Saying we shouldn't be allowed to point it out because if we do it undermines women's legitimate critiques of patriarchy and toxic masculinity. She's basically saying that when men speak about women's bad behavior we are hurting them. You don't want to hurt women now do you? So you better shut up.

Questo mese vi parliamo di Vietato Scrivere: come soffocare la scrittura delle donne dell'autrice e studiosa americana Joanna Russ, edito nella sua prima versione nel 1983 e portato in Italia da Enciclopedia delle Donne. Fra l'altro questa edizione ha la prefazione di Jessa Crispin, autrice nota per il suo Perché non sono femminista, di cui vi abbiamo parlato qualche mese fa. Nonostante sia un libro scritto 40 anni fa, risulta ancora molto attuale, e nonostante la tematica possa apparentemente risultare banale per chi è in un percorso di decostruizione patriarcale e capitale, è in realtà un libro che apre a tanti spunti di riflessione, soprattutto nel finale dove si parla di margine. Tema molto caro a noi di TLUF!Buon ascolto.

Today we have Jessa Crispin on the show to talk to Trevor about the social media platforms, and their users, who are keeping the wrong conversations going and proliferating a dumbing down of the articles being written on todays society.

Con una scrittura lapidaria Jessa Crispin, fondatrice ed editorialista del magazine online Bookslut e giornalista che conta fra le proprie pubblicazioni testate come il New York Times, the Guardian, e the Washington post, mette in discussione il metodo femminista "della scelta", quello che premia l'empowerment o, come abbiamo imparato a chiamarlo, neoliberista. Un libro che ha il potenziale di innervosirvi, ma che vi invitiamo a leggere per farvi travolgere da una serie di sentimenti contrastanti che inevitabilmente smuoveranno il vostro pensiero critico. È ormai da tempo che volevamo parlarvene e finalmente lo aggiungiamo alla nostra libreria femminista: perchè non sono femminista. Un manifesto femminista!

Dianna Souhami has worked for decades as a chronicler of sexual subcultures in early 20th century Europe, and finally, she is allowed to deliver her thesis: without this network of lesbians, the parties they through and the lovers they supported, modernism would not have been possible. She speaks with Jessa about our limited ideas of creativity and genius, why rewriting history is still important, and the lifelong project of lineage.  (This will be the final episode with Jessa Crispin as host.) http://patreon.com/publicintellectual

Here's our very special Filmsuck episode featuring author and film columnist Jessa Crispin, who joins us in a gleeful, long-overdue takedown of Sofia Coppola films! 

Hello Mystics! Thank you for tuning into episode number 21. On today's show, we're going to break down the entire traditional tarot deck. We'll talk about the differences between the major and minor arcanas, as well as the meaning of each of the four suits. This is the perfect foundation for our total tarot series--in which we go through the meaning of each tarot card one by one. Coming up in this week's astrology forecast for July 25-31, we have some lingering Aquarian energies from last week's full moon. Mercury enters Leo, retrograde Jupiter is re-entering Aquarius, Mars moves into Virgo, and the last quarter moon in Taurus to wrap things up. And next in our Total Tarot Series is the Priestess. The High Priestess tarot card represents the intimate connection between our ego and our subconscious mind. This archetype is intuitive, mysterious and ethereal, bridging the gap between our personalities and our souls. This is card number 2 in the major arcana. If you missed the previous cards, head over to YouTube to catch up!

Tiger King was a sensation, so a million words had to be spilled in response. Most of those words accused the Netflix docuseries itself of being immoral, misogynistic, exploitative. Rather than just depicting immorality, misogyny, and exploitation. Why do we look to our entertainment to teach us moral lessons, why do we need so many strong female heroines, why do we need our filmmakers, writers, and artists to talk to us like we are children?

No segundo episódio da temporada Biblioteca feminista, conversamos sobre o livro Why I am not a feminist: a feminist manifesto, da escritora estaduniense Jessa Crispin. O livro questiona radicalmente o que a autora chama de "feminismo universal", ou seja, esse feminismo palatável, da moda, em que basta eu me intitular feminista para que automaticamente tudo que eu faça seja um ato feminista. Será que isso é suficiente para efetivamente transformar o mundo em que vivemos? Uma coisa eu posso garantir: a leitura desse livro nos faz sair da zona de conforto intelectual. Vem comigo!

A ’90s boy band star. A streaming service. LED-lighted personal pods. A deep well of underlying sadness. What do all of these things have in common? “Love Is Blind,” an addictive and slightly dystopian reality show on Netflix. We’ve received soooooo many messages about this show, that we decided we owed it to you and ourselves to discuss it. On this episode, we started out with a spoiler-free (other than light discussion of characters) conversation about the show and its structure, and then dove deeper -- including some spoilers about the finale -- with Guardian columnist and author Jessa Crispin.

If the year in film went the way film critics said it was, Joker would have caused an incel uprising and Little Women would have solved misogyny. This was a year that hyperbole and Think Pieces took over film criticism, with every film being touted as the Most Important Ever or the Best Ever or You Will Definitely Die If You See This in the Theater. Jacobin film critic and co-host of the podcast Filmsuck Eileen Jones joins Jessa Crispin to discuss the year that was in film, the year that definitely wasn't, and why we are both firmly Against Meryl Streep.  Support this podcast: http://patreon.com/publicintellectual http://jessacrispin.com

En este séptimo Trincheras de la Cultura Pop Elisa y Diego charlan, a partir de una serie de reivindicaciones culturales que han tenido lugar en los últimos tiempos, sobre la relación del feminismo de cuarta ola con la cultura del pasado y las mujeres que desempeñaron un papel en la misma. Los aciertos, las paradojas, también las mistificaciones, a que da lugar esa reivindicación cada vez más acelerada, y lo que ello nos dice sobre la vivencia personal y colectiva de la cultura y sus evoluciones.

When I did 100 readings a few years ago, a friend asked if I could read for her writing project instead of her life. We tried it out and were amazed at the results. After exploring a bit, I discovered that the very brilliant Jessa Crispin had been reading tarot for writers for years. Her book, The Creative Tarot has been a favorite ever since and I was thrilled she was open to coming on and discussing how tarot can support the writing process. If you've been wondering about bringing tarot into your writing or even if you've never played with tarot at all, this episode is going to be such a treat! Happy listening...

Mitä tekemistä luokalla on feminismin kanssa? Miten tosi-tv liittyy yhteiskuntaluokkaan? Mikä menestysfeminismissä hiertää? Entä onko feminismi lähtökohtaisesti vasemmistolaista ja vasemmistolaisuus feminismistä?

I nionde avsnittet pratar vi om boken Därför är jag inte feminist av Jessa Crispin och funderar över parallellerna mellan universell feminism och hbtq-rättigheter som alla plötsligt stöttar. Är det så att samhällsförändring kräver mer än att alla kallar sig feminister – eller viftar med regnbågsflaggor? Vi nämner även The Handmaid’s Tale, Måns Zelmerlöw och samtyckeslagstiftningsdebatten. Med: Emelie Karinsdotter & Erik Gunnarsson.

In Season One's penultimate episode, Spurlock picks the brains of "Reason" magazine's editor-at-large Matt Welch, The Dead Ladies Project author Jessa Crispin, and of course, musical sensei Jon Spurney. More army bans, birth certificates, Ryan roasts, the Russia pivot, viral clapping, me too, pay-per-view: Mueller v Spicer, singularity, and the JFK assassination! What's next? UFO's?! Spoiler alert: there are no aliens on this week's awesome show.

Has contemporary feminism grown so tame, cowardly and irrelevant that it barely challenges the status quo? Have feminists traded liberation for acceptance? What will it take to wake the movement up? In a fearless call for revolution, Jessa Crispin demands more of feminism - nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression.

On the inaugural episode of Public Intellectual, Jessa Crispin invites writer & cultural critic Laura Kipnis to discuss her book, Unwanted Advances: Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus, the visceral political responses the book created, and the misinterpretations of Kipnis newest ideas.

Recorded at All About Women on March 5th, 2017 Has contemporary feminism grown so tame, cowardly and irrelevant that it barely challenges the status quo? Have feminists traded liberation for acceptance? What will it take to wake the movement up? In a fearless call for revolution, Jessa Crispin demands more of feminism - nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression. Chaired by Danielle Harvey.

Listen to a preview of Public Intellectual before the first episode is released on July 20th. Radical firebrand Jessa Crispin excoriates our culture week in and week out in this no-nonsense corrective to the world of anti-intellectualism.

Vuorossa suuri feminismijakso!!! Noh, yksi niistä monista, mutta nyt Johannaa ja Jonnaa puhuttavat aivan erityisen mahtavat mirkut. Moderni feminismi on paskaa, väittää Bookslut-bloggaaja Jessa Crispin juuri ilmestyneessä Why I'm not a Feminist – a Feminist Manifesto -kirjassaan. Siksi, että se on kulutuskeskeistä lifestyle-feminismiä, jolla ajetaan vain omia individualistisia tarpeita. Feminismin ei pitäisi pelata patriarkaatin ja kapitalismin säännöillä vaan puolustaa taas vähemmistöjen ja heikompien asemaa. Me olemme innoissamme feminismin politisoitumisesta ja nostamme Jessan saman tien kaapin päälle. Sen sijaan vanhan idolimme Chimamanda Ngozi Adichien mielipiteet transnaisista herättävät kummastusta. Samansuuntaisia ovat laukoneet edellisen sukupolven feministit, kuten vanha jäärä Germaine Greer, mutta toiset, kuten Gloria Steinem, ovat päivittäneet päänsä 2000-luvulle. Meidän mielestämme Chimamanda todistaa, ettei kukaan ole täydellinen, ei edes feministi. Oppimisprosessi tämä on kaikille. Ennen kaikkea puhumme Roxane Gaysta ja Koko Hubarasta. Roxane Gay on supertähti, "feminismin J. K. Rowling", jonka kirjat myyvät Jenkeissä satojatuhansia, jonka luennot ovat aina täynnä ja jolla on omistautuneita faneja, mustia ja valkoisia, miehiä, naisia ja muita. Hänen juuri suomennettu esseekokoelmansa Bad Feminist on itseironinen, hauska, kivuliaan henkilökohtainen ja räyhäkkään poliittinen. Myös Ruskeat Tytöt -blogin perustajan ja -median päätoimittajan Koko Hubaran esikoisteos ponnistaa henkilökohtaisesta. Kummankin kirjat herättävät tunteita: avartavia, järkyttäviä, samastuttavia, riemastuttavia, surullisia. Samalla ne todistavat, että tunne on tietoa ja joskus myös ainoa tapa perustella asioita. Jaksossa selviää myös, mitä eroa on kultakalan ja ihmisen keskittymiskyvyssä, mistä kirja-ala juorusi Lontoon kirjamessuilla ja miksi on ihan ok käyttää huutomerkkejä. Kirjalista alla. JAKSOSSA MAINITUT KIRJAT: Roxane Gay: Bad Feminist (suom. Koko Hubara, Anu Partanen, Like Kustannus) Koko Hubara: Ruskeat Tytöt – Tunne-esseitä (Like) Adam Alter: Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked Ben Blatt: Nabokov’s fvaourite word was mauve Jessa Crispin: Why I’m Not a Feminist: a Feminist Manifesto Liv Strömquist: Uppgång och fall

Jessa Crispin is the founder and editor of the magazines Bookslut.com and Spoliamag.com. She is the author of The Dead Ladies Project, published by The University of Chicago Press, and The Creative Tarot, published by Touchstone. In this episode she gives a somewhat disheartening, but also hilarious, tarot reading for the Ace Lady Network. 

Hear our Marketing Manager Nina Kenwood and our Events Manager Chris Gordon in conversation with author Jessa Crispin about her provocative new book, Why I am Not a Feminist.

"My book is about my frustration and confusion about where contemporary feminism is."

Bookslut founder Jessa Crispin rejoins the show (here's her 2014 episode) to talk about her new book, Why I Am Not A Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto (Melville House), while I gripe over the fact that it's the third book she's published since we recorded in 2014. We also get into learning to stop reading reviews, the aftereffects of carrying her belongings on her back for 18 months, the black magic revival and her experience as a tarot card reader, her detachment from NYC publishing culture, her fascination for Catholicism and female saints, falling in love with opera, never quite getting over the core guilt of her Protestant upbringing, and why she won't leave the US for good and won't write about expat Paris! • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

Biography is a genre of largely unexamined power: a literary field that preserves stories of lived lives and, through them, perpetuates notions that there are certain ways lives can be lived. This is particularly true of the lives of women, which are often, in biography, confined to the marriage plot and detailed as events in the lives of men. As Jessa Crispin writes in her new book, The Dead Ladies Project: Exiles, Expats & Ex-Countries (University of Chicago Press, 2015), “The important task is to understand and modify the stories that are holding sway.” The founder and editor of the recently shuttered lit-blog Bookslut, Crispin spent a year and a half traveling abroad. Her genre-bending book, The Dead Ladies Project, is the legacy of that year and it’s a work that goes a long way in modifying the stories we typically tell, not just about women but about human beings- as thinkers, travelers, artists, and individuals. It’s a contemplative, wandering work, which captures the disorientations of travel, the anxiety/ecstasy of being alone, the ways in which we carry our pasts with us, and the integral role stories play in our understanding of our possibilities and the ways in which we live our lives.”What saves you is a new story to tell yourself about how things could be,” Crispin suggests and, as she moves from Berlin, Trieste, Sarajevo, St. Petersburg, contemplating the lives of William James, Nora Barnacle, Rebecca West, and Claude Cahun, she opens up story after story, expanding the narrative possibilities as she goes. Hers is a story which suggests the richness that comes of bouncing our lives off those of others. “It was the dead I wanted to talk to,” she writes, as she sets out on her travels. “I’d always been attracted to the unloosed, the wandering souls who were willing to scrape their lives clean and start again elsewhere. I needed to know how they did it, how they survived.” It’s an account which suggests the hunger for and value of such stories- the stories of lives which, as Carolyn G. Heilbrun put it, enable us to forge new fictions and new narratives for our own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I needed to know how they did it, how they survived.” It’s an account which suggests the hunger for and value of such stories- the stories of lives which, as Carolyn G. Heilbrun put it, enable us to forge new fictions and new narratives for our own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jessa Crispin, founder of Bookslut and Spolia, joins us to talk about 12 years of book-blogging, the downsides of learnign to write online, how she learned to love Henry James, why lack of ambition may have been Bookslut's key to success, and more!

Jessa Crispin is editor and founder of Bookslut.com "a monthly web magazine and daily blog dedicated to those who love to read. We provide a constant supply of news, reviews, commentary, insight, and more than occasional opinions." Author Jana Martin describes her this way:  "Certainly she's a reader, a great reader, and she knows how to make one good party after another, whether in a beer-poster-clad upstairs room at the Hopleaf or Bookslut. She's a hostess for all of us, a sundress'd impressario. In that way she belongs on the same hearty category as Mike McGonigal: self-made, peripatetic, generous but with standards and boundaries. The other thing is that, like McGonigal, she gives off a slightly timeless vibe: a bit San Francisco 1950s, a bit Chianti in Greenwich Village, a bit rockabilly, a bit Christina's World." We met at her home in Chicago, and talked about, among other things, the origins of Bookslut, her under-employment at Planned Parenthood, ex-boyfriends, blog advertising, hiring writers, shrinking book review sections, writing for oneself, inexplicable successes, the name ‘Bookslut' and thoughts of changing it, Somerset Maugham, favourite novels, and the future of blogs.
