Why Women and Men Cannot Love Each Other (Yet)
Full text linkIn a heteronormative society, men and women are typically expected to look not for authentic love, but simply a partner of the opposite gender. This compulsory heterosexuality, as explained by Adrienne Rich, and the resultantly tainted love story problematize views about love like Berit Brogaard’s “appraisal respect”. I take Brogaard to give an apt account of what we should want authentic love to be, one in which we are said to love another when we properly evaluate their role as a lovable lover. However, because loving another and evaluating their lovability are not the goals of love as it stands, heterosexual men and women cannot be said to love in the way Brogaard rightly champions. Authentic love is then something most do not generally experience, but all (who are interested in engaging in romantic love) ought to strive for. I ultimately claim that developing respect for ourselves, our peers, our same-sex relationships, and love itself are the best ways for us to make authentic love widely accessible
Blurring Space Across Film, Theatre and Virtual Reality: Zero-Calorie Restaurant (2023)
Full text linkWhite Affectivity, Distraction Tactics, And the Crisis of Thought in the Western Classical European Music Industry
Full text linkIn this article I argue that white affective mechanisms within western European classical music (WECM) composition may lead to double-consciousness in the practices of minoritarian composers which ultimately constitutes an act of epistemic self-harm due to the need to assimilate for inclusion in the field. WECM has long been accepted and assumed to be a “universal” art form. This has had negative impacts on minoritarian composers and contributed to their exclusion throughout its history. I offer an investigation of these affective mechanisms in WECM composition and suggest a new compositional method based on minoritarian identification to build a liberatory creative practice free from epistemic self-harm. This method allows for minoritarian composers to think in/through/with their identifications as a form of resistance – rooted in the repair and emancipation of the minoritarian Self. Through this method, I suggest that as creative practitioners we can directly respond to the erosion of democratic values and ever-growing neoliberalism, not only within the WECM field, but more broadly in our local, national, and global communities – helping to reorient how and where we do the making of thought centred on the minoritarian perspective
