Maggie Nelson joins Kate Wolf to discuss her new book Pathemata, Or, The Story of My Mouth. It is at once a compressed record of her long struggle with chronic pain and a document of the boundless blur of the pandemic era. It combines vignettes of daily life and doctor's visits with dreams and memories, pushing at the partition between interior and exterior, symptom and experience, containment and surrender. Nelson depicts the mysteries of pain and the vulnerability of the human body with both humor and pathos, as well as the connections that are possible even in a moment of extreme isolation.

TW: Gewalt gegen Frauen, Mord Maggie Nelson setzt sich in dem Gedichtband "Jane: A Murder" mit dem gewaltvollen Tod ihrer Tante als junge Studentin auseinander. Gerade als "Jane" erscheint, erfährt sie, dass der ungeklärte Fall um ihren Mord wieder aufgenommen wurde. In "The Red Parts: Autobiography of a Trial" begleitet sie den Prozess, in dem der Mörder ihrer Tante gefunden werden soll und verwebt den Bericht mit Erzählungen über ihr eigenes Aufwachsen. Sie wirft nicht nur einen kritischen Blick auf True Crime, sowie die fiktionalisierte Darstellung von Gewalt gegen Frauen, sondern zeigt auch, wie belastend das Nacherzählen von Gewalt für Betroffene und Angehörige sein kann.

Judith Butler discusses their new book "Who's Afraid of Gender?" published by Farrar Straus Giroux. Named a "Most Anticipated Book of 2024" by Time, Elle, Kirkus, Literary Hub, The Millions, & Electric Literature. Purchase book here: https://citylights.com/whos-afraid-of-gender/ Judith Butler, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book "Gender Trouble" redefined how we think about gender & sexuality, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti-gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous, perhaps diabolical, threat to families, local cultures, civilization—& even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice, undermine protections against sexual & gender violence, & strip trans & queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence. The aim of "Who's Afraid of Gender?" is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, & transexclusionary feminists. In their vital, courageous new book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects & displaces anxieties & fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” & xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, & leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation. An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, "Who's Afraid of Gender?" is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements & to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom & solidarity, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless. Judith Butler is the author of several books including "Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity," "Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of 'Sex'," "The Psychic Life of Power: Theories of Subjection, Excitable Speech, Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly," & "The Force of Non-Violence." In addition to numerous academic honors & publications, Butler has published editorials & reviews in The Guardian, The New Statesman, The Nation, Time Magazine, the London Review of Books, & in a wide range of journals, newspapers, radio & podcast programs throughout Europe, Latin America, Central & South Asia, & South Africa. They live in Berkeley. Maggie Nelson is the author of several acclaimed books of poetry & prose, including "Like Love: Essays and Conversations" (2024), the national bestseller "On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint" (2021), National Book Critics Circle Award winner and international bestseller "The Argonauts" (2015), "The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning" (2011), "Bluets" (2009; named by Bookforum as one of the top 10 best books of the past 20 years), "The Red Parts: Autobiography of a Trial" (2007), & "Women, the New York School, & Other True Abstractions" (2007), "Something Bright, Then Holes" (2007), & "Jane: A Murder" (2005; finalist, the PEN/ Martha Albrand Art of the Memoir). A recipient of a 2016 MacArthur “genius” Fellowship, she is currently a professor of English at the University of Southern California.

In this episode, we speak to writer Marianne Brooker about her book Intervals. We discuss the politics of care and the precarious economics of social, hospice and funeral care. We talk about the importance of interdependence, and how networks of care link to activism and writing. We think about the right to abundance and life, while considering what it means to die a good death. We chat about intersections of class, gender and disability, and beauty and maximalism as an act of resistance. We imagine writing as reparative magic and consider what it means to write into and with grief, as opposed to pushing against it. We speak about what it means to draw kinship with other writers and thinkers such as Denise Riley, Anne Boyer, Maggie Nelson and Lola Olufemi, among others. Marianne Brooker is a writer based in Bristol, where she works for a charity campaigning on climate and social justice. She has a PhD from Birkbeck and a background in arts research and teaching.

Elisa Ferrer donó su novela "El holandés" (Tusquets) a la Biblioteca de Martínez Asensio en Hoy por Hoy. Una ficción que parte de un caso real, una de las mayores estafas de la España de los noventa. Se trata de la venta millonaria en Benidorm del último solar disponible en primera línea de playa. Todo sería normal si no fuese porque el que lo vendió no era el propietario del terreno. A partir de ese hecho, una periodista, Alba,  bucea en la vida de Rafael, el estafador y va describiendo perfiles de una época donde ganar dinero fácil era prioritario. La trama se desarrolla entre Benidorm y Utrech , ciudad holandesa a la que huyó el protagonista y donde tuvo una segunda vida , no ajena a los bajos fondos y a la cárcel. Apasionante el relato y , sobre todo, la forma de contarlo.Elisa Ferrer además de su libro "El holandés" ha donado dos libros a la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy, "Los argonautas" de Maggie Nelson (Tres Puntos) y "Las primas" de Aurora Venturini (Tusquets). Y Antonio Martínez Asensio nos llevó a la actualidad política y social a través de tres libros, un clásico "Un mundo feliz" de Aldous Huxley (DeBolsillo), una novedad "Mi viaje (al otro lado de la realidad)" de Lev Tolstoi (Errata Naturae) y una reedición "El arte de la guerra"  de Sun Tzu (Alma). También entraron en los anaqueles radiofónicos dos novedades editoriales que son reediciones "Cárcel de mujeres" de María Carolina Geel (Periférica) y "La tierra oculta" de Manuel Rivas (Alfaguara).

Lauren Fournier, writer, independent curator, artist, and author of Autotheory as Feminist Practice in Art, Writing, and Criticism discusses her forthcoming book with writer, educator and philosopher McKenzie Wark (A Hacker Manifesto, Gamer Theory, Capital Is Dead, Reverse Cowgirl.) In the 2010s, the term “autotheory” began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory. Fournier argues that the autotheoretical turn signals the tenuousness of illusory separations between art and life, theory and practice, work and the self—divisions long blurred by feminist artists and scholars. Autotheory challenges dominant approaches to philosophizing and theorizing while enabling new ways for artists and writers to reflect on their lives. She argues that Kraus's 1997 I Love Dick marked the emergence of a newly performative, post-memoir “I”; recasts Piper's 1971 performance work Food for the Spirit as autotheory; considers autotheory as critique; examines practices of citation in autotheoretical work, including Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts; and looks at the aesthetics and ethics of disclosure and exposure, exploring the nuanced feminist politics around autotheoretical practices and such movements as #MeToo. Fournier formulates autotheory as a reflexive movement, connecting thinking, making art, living, and theorizing.

Come along for a ride with some poetic work that's furious and logical in equal measure!    Links to things we discuss that you may dig:     Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's   Samantha Hunt's The Seas    Maggie Nelson's Bluets    This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show.     At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Samantha Neugebauer, Alex J Tunney, and Dagne Forrest  Rei Alta is a black writer, disciple of science, artist, and proud supernerd. She resides in Massachusetts where she was born and raised. Rei spends most of her time supporting brilliant young people from historically marginalized communities in their exploration of science and engineering.    Socials: Instagram: @reialtaspeak      Inflection Point 1b   Theorem 1.1.  The pain, longing, and ambivalence I feel related to this particular past lover (hereafter “him”, “he” or “you”) is not unhealthy.   Proof:  By definition, “Time heals all wounds.”  Suppose for all purposes, 11 years is considered to be ‘Time'.    It is true that 11 years have passed, however I am not healed.  Thus, this thing I feel is not really a wound.      Theorem 1.2. There exists a value in this lover that I use to cope with a deficiency in my current state of being.    Proof:  By Theorem 1.1, this lover does not represent some larger, unresolved issue.   It is true, however, that I still have been unable to let him go.   Therefore, he must be notable for a different reason.   By supposition, that different reason is that he and I had an unrivaled connection. I.e. While there is no such thing as soulmates, our cognitive compatibility was substantially higher than that of my previously observed matches.  Hence, I feel an intensity through recollecting him such that most other things pale in comparison.  Therefore, I remember him in order to feel something when I don't.      Theorem 2.1.  There exists an absolute truth about why I loved him and why I haven't been able to let go.    Proof:  By definition, “All things happen for a reason.”   Since it is true that loving him and being unable to let go has happened, there must be a reason that caused it.   This reason must be the truth. Suppose not; i.e., suppose this reason was not the truth. Then it would not have possessed the power necessary to cause such a consequential thing to happen.  Such a consequential thing did happen. Thus, there is an attributable reason that is the truth.      Theorem 2.2. I must understand why I have not been able to let go—in order to let go.    Proof:  By my own definition, I am a finder of truth.   By Theorem 2.1, there is a truth to be found. If there is a truth I have not yet found, then I must find it in order to exist since finding truth defines me.  Thus, I have no path forward but to find the truth.      ____________________________________________________________________________ CAVEAT: Due to the following factors, the validity of the proofs outlined above is questionable:  Invalid underlying assumptions Faulty reasoning Insufficient information   As a result, extrapolation based on the conclusions laid out in the preceding section is not advised.     ----more---- wave height  CREST  you approached  after cycles of fire  there was a tectonic shift  fueled by molten rock and dressed up decay  i believed your promise this time around — i felt it lift my feet        TROUGH1  you receded  re-defining “forever”   as “only thirteen days” (a real trailblazer!)  and like eddies forming behind Pinnacle Rock      the reverse current dragged me in asymmetric swirls     [1]  i wish my love became a two-toed sloth like the algae on its fur it ignores his simple existence   i wish my love became a deep sea vent spewing sulfur to fill his nostrils and make him gag   i wish my love strutted down the cobblestones in heels with a long, deliberate stride and a toss of its hair      ----more---- I Outline the Hypotheses    I got this  This is 101  I simply need to determine what a human woman should feel in this situation based on whether or not I can reject the null:    H0 (null) =                   He's a small person on a power trip                   Who never cared                   He wasn't actually sick from bad Indian food                    Each time I felt we needed to talk    H1 =                    He's not small but broken                    It was shame that caused him to disappear without warning;                    I memorialized every scene of his trauma                    While he forgot my middle name    H2 =                    He's an emotionless sociopath in a decade-long grift                   Laughing about me with his friends                    Each month he adds some new mark to his collection                    One day he'll be caught and I'll guest star in a true crime documentary    Yes, all very plausible  Now all that's left to detect an effect is to dampen the noise

Quinn and a friend are driving from New York City to Pennsylvania when she sees 9-year-old Lulu sitting on a trucker's lap, smoking a cigarette.

Dan Savage on Where the Sexual Revolution Went Wrong

Even if you don't recognize the advice columnist Dan Savage by name, it's possible that his ideas have influenced how you think about sex and relationships. For decades now, Savage has been arguing that our expectations for long-term partnerships are way too high; that healthy relationships are about acknowledging our vast spectrum of desires, not repressing them; and that monogamy is not the ideal setup for every partnership. Through over 30 years of writing “Savage Love,” one of the most widely read sex advice columns in the country, and more than 17 years of hosting the podcast “Savage Lovecast,” he has been one of America's most subtly influential public intellectuals on the topic of how humans conduct our most intimate — and important — relationships.In the past half-century or so, America's culture around sex, dating and relationships has undergone a profound transformation. Women are no longer confined to roles as wives and mothers, same-sex marriage is legal, hookup culture has changed the way young people enter the dating world, and there has been a growing interest in less traditional approaches to relationships, like polyamory and ethical nonmonogamy. These transformations have ushered in a lot of new freedoms but also a lot of new anxieties and frustrations. So I wanted to bring Savage on the show to talk through how we navigate this complicated, messy moment in our relational and sexual lives.We discuss how America's relationship culture has changed in the past 30 years, why the myth of finding “the one” can be so damaging, what dating apps are (and aren't) good for, how to give more grace to our partners when they do not meet our expectations, why so many feminist writers are re-evaluating the legacy of the sexual revolution, how gay sexual cultures have influenced straight dating life, why we've had a “sexual revolution” but not a concomitant “relationship revolution,” what Savage makes of the statistic that 18 percent of people have had sexual experiences outside their primary relationships without their partners' consent, the advantages and risks of experimenting with nonmonogamy, what better sex education for young people should look like, why marriages between two men seem to end less frequently than heterosexual marriages do and more.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:YouGov poll on Monogamy and Polyamory“Can We Change Our Sexual Desires?

Paris, 6e arrondissement. Un petit immeuble sur une place. On sonne à la porte. Monica Sabolo nous reçoit, à l'occasion de la sortie de son roman La Vie clandestine chez elle, un espace qui lui « ressemble beaucoup », « un peu défraîchi mais avec plein de trésors, qui gagne à être connu ». L'autrice âgée de 51 ans évoque son enfance à Genève, l'importance très jeune des livres et de son imaginaire, sa détestation de la cuisine et du jazz, sa passion toujours vivace pour la plongée et la mer qui lui ont permis de reprendre chair, la manière dont son enquête sur Action directe l'a menée à se confronter à ses propres secrets de famille, son goût des « vieux machins » et des animaux empaillés, sa fascination récente pour les écrits de Maggie Nelson et l'élégance du cœur. Elle détaille également sa pratique de la photographie : « Je fais des clichés un peu absurdes. A une période, j'ai photographié tout ce qui partait en morceau dans la maison ou des encombrants sur le trottoir. Moi, le petit décalage des catastrophes de la vie transformées en quelque chose de drôle ou de poétique, ça me plait énormément. »Depuis quatre saisons, la productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal)préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Imène BenlachtarRéalisation : Guillaume GiraultMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Acast.

The Control Variable is going on pause as we strategize about the show's future. In our last episode (for now), Kim talks to award-winning author, poet, scholar and activist Maggie Nelson about her latest book On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint. Kim and Maggie have a lot of questions about freedom in America, but the two big ones are: What does freedom mean in a country so divided about its meaning? And Is it possible to imagine a freedom that might move all (or most) of us Americans into a more joyful and responsible future?

Où sont les femmes dans les livres, dans les librairies, dans les palmarès des prix littéraires? L'écrivaine Alice Zeniter s'est brillamment posé la question dans un essai stimulant intitulé Toute une moitié du monde.
