May 26, 2023 — Exigent Sadism, Art, Creative functioning (Drag Performance)
Sexuality within art form, Exigent Sadism—a useful concept for exploring internal boundaries, and erotic countertransference/transference. The suggested reading is an interesting and dense examination of a reworking of Drag within Lacan’s ideas/contrasting with Judith Butler.
This particular week you are invited to join me in attending a drag performance on either May 25th/27th as determined by the class.
Saketopoulou, A. (2023) Ch5, “Exigent Sadism” in Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race and Traumatophilia, pp169-193.
