Project description

What is the subversive potential of queer_feminist pornography and how can queer_feminist porn challenge and break down patriarchal structures in our everyday lives? How can queer_feminist porn help us to question and break down the (re)production of normative identity markers (body, race, class, gender, age, etc.)?

The starting point for this is an analysis of the characteristics, functions and mechanisms of action and power of porn on an individual and societal level, as well as an examination of intersectional queer_feminist struggles and their history. Here, we will engage with theories from trans and gender studies in terms of content. We will examine how patriarchal and sexist structures prevail and continue to be maintained in our society, and how this can be subverted through the cinematic method. Porn is here a means of self-empowerment and reversal, or of breaking down power relations, discourses of domination, and "socially specific forms of knowledge." The focus here is on reflecting on and empowering one's own identity characteristics and gendered identities.
We can learn a lot from porn, it tells us a lot about our society. More Informations: instagram.com/queerfilmfestivalweimar=
