Von Samhain zu Halloween

Von Samhain zu Hal­loween: Die Geschichte des Gruse­levents reicht weit zurück. In ihrem neusten Artikel geht unsere Autorin den his­torischen Ursprün­gen des Festes nach. 

Draculas Töchter—Die queeren Wurzeln des Vampires

Die Twi­light-Filme haben uns tat­säch­lich glauben lassen, Vam­pire wären het­ero­sex­uell. Filmhis­torisch sieht das ganz anders aus. Unsere Autorin über Psy­cho­analyse, Exploita­tion Cin­e­ma und gefun­dene Familien.

Schlag zur Hexenstunde

Die Geschichte der Hexe ist auch die Geschichte der Angst vor dem Fall des Patri­ar­chats. Mer­cy Fer­rars berichtet über Ver­fol­gung, Ver­bren­nun­gen und mit­te­lal­ter­liche Dildos.

Ferrars & Fields 2023 SPECIAL: ON ENDURANCE/VOM AUSHALTEN

Woman’s Grammar in the Dream: When Our Lips Speak Together

“No surface holds. No figure, line, or point remains. No ground subsists. But no abyss, either. Depth, for us, is not a chasm. Without a solid crust, there is no precipice. Our depth is the thickness of our body, our all touching itself. Where top and bottom, inside and outside, ...

Fleisch & Fragmente III: Das Knie

Unsere Autorin schlägt vor, den Anspruch eines ganzen und/oder ganzheitlichen Körpers fallenzulassen und sich stattdessen einer dezidiert fragmentarischen Betrachtung seiner Einzelteile zu widmen. Dieses Mal geht es um weiche, um knubbelige und um gebeugte Knie, um weibliche Knie, aber auch um die Knie von Harry Potter, Willy Brandt und Alexander ...
