One look, several looks and angles, several \I/ \I/ \I/ \I/ \I/\I/ ...? Certainly. Because that's what it's all about: they want to think, research, make and host in a processual way and say it like this: “In a star-shaped expansion of the participants, a pool of stories, images or thoughts is to be processed and made visible in a zine.” With what thesis?

“Queerness is essentially about the rejection of a here and now and an insistence on potentiality or concrete possibility for another world.” (José Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity, 2009)

How does that work? “We will deal with queer temporalities / queer time and situatedness, or the question of how people perceive time and the passing of time in relation to their own self-determination, but also in relation to society and community. In this way, we move from the private to the social, from one's own body to social issues and back again. After all, critical feminist education has often contributed to queer liberation in the first place, to perceiving one's own temporality, re-reading the past and queerulating it and the present.” And how? (can also be written with an exclamation mark! Or several!!!)

It will be about corresponding and making contacts in order to obtain different answers to questions about time(lity) and the body in the respective modes of perception and handling. For further research in the study and in the planned zine. “We look forward to the gradually emerging content and evenings of community, some of which will fill the zine, some of which will fizzle out.”

Re Capitulating. queer

What it is all about? "To recapitulate means to repeat something in a structured way […]. A recapitulation ]…] concerns […] historical and political events, including predicted and planned futures - again, as if what is recapitulated in this way has always been and been in this order.

To capitulate means to admit defeat in various forms of war, in general, to submit one's will to that of the opponent in a conflict. Submission also to the interpretation of the conflict on the part of the victorious opponent goes hand in hand with capitulation, and that also means: with the opponent's recapitulation of the conflict.

At present […] before or during the outbreak of large-scale military conflicts on a global scale, irreconcilable recapitulations of history have been positioned, also in various narratives in and on capitalism. In and on queer movements and processes.

Which statements, procedures and tactics can be identified or invented historically and currently on the part of a 'queer' against the capitalist world order? Which assertions, explanations and practices of capitalist ideology need to be analyzed in relation to queer movements between identity and non-identity?

Again, and asked differently: How do 'queer' and capitalism intersect or connect? 

What could that mean: "queering capitalism"? […] How do queer and capitalism recapitulate (each other)? Has there been, is there or will there be capitulation(s)? What is to be traced or outlined here in a new recapitulation?"

NOTE ON ACCESSIBILITY:

Unfortunately, we have to postpone the planned finissage presentation passed on, about things we have passed on from the ART OF EMERGENCY RESIDENCIES. Instead, we will find a way to make up for this in a slightly different form and at a different location and will invite you again soon. There are ideas, more on that soon ...

Feminist, fighter, cook, entrepreneur, who was a fixed star of friendship and will remain in our memory. 

Without her courageous heart and alert mind, there would be no Frauen.Kultur.Labor. thealit

What 'women' meant, was and could become was her question and a path she dreamed of far ahead...
