Temporal Drag
“‘Generational’, a word for both biological and technological forms of replication, cannot be tossed out with the bathwater of reproductive thinking. Instead, it may be crucial to complicate the idea of horizontal political generations succeeding one another, with a notion of ‘temporal drag,’ thought less in the psychic time of the individual than in the movement of collective political life” - Elizabeth Freeman
With our next project in collaboration with Cinenova called Bodies Assembling just over two weeks away we wanted to share two articles which we have been reading with each other here. The first is Fans of Feminism: Re-writing Histories of Second-wave Feminism in Contemporary Art by Catherine Grant and also Bodies in Alliance and the Politics of the Street by Judith Butler. Both Grant and Butler’s investigations of contemporary feminism and gender discourse have given us a lot to think about as we respond to Cinenova’s collection.
