Women aren't embracing their sexualities, they're embracing being sexualised. They're internalising categories made by men and deriving pleasure from the thought of giving men pleasure and of being attractive in the third person and convincing themselves that this is the same thing as genuinely feeling sexual pleasure and agency.

Just read “Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World” by Kumari Jayawardena and I’d highly reccommend it. It offers a symmary, exploration and analysis of the ways that feminism developed in Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and the Phillipines taking into consideration the political, socioeconomic and cultural factors of each country. These are perspectives that are sorely lacking in western dominated feminism. It also challenges the idea that westernisation and capitalism leads to true emancipation of women or that all feminisms in the global south are merely imitations of western feminist movements. It’s readable, each chapter is relatively short but packed with a lot of really interesting and provocative info. And essential if you want to learn about feminisms around the world outside of the western framework of Suffragette -> Betty Friedan. I also like it because it doesn’t just suggest a blind acceptance of other country’s feminist movements built on their cultural traditions either. But it shows that when feminist movements keep away from true grassroots political action and instead focus on bourgeois, imperialist interests, the movement withers. It also shows just how important understanding different cultural contexts is for understanding feminism, that all female emancipation movements have been influenced by other factors. She also challenges the idea that women are emancipated by entering into education or the work force alone without changing the patriarchal structure. Give it a read!

Israel’s genocide of Palestine is one of the most pressing feminist issues of today. Full stop. None of this culture war shit, whatever some fourteen year old’s saying on tumblr, whatever trans people are doing in the US, none of that holds a candle to not just the ongoing genocide but the way western media has immediately deployed the exact same propaganda we’ve had for the past at least twenty years to dehumanise Palestinians.

Variations: Six Film Stills

Variations Nathaniel Dorsky  |  1998  |  24 minutes  |  silent speed  |  18 fps  |  16 mm  |  color  |  silent

Variations blossomed forth while shooting additional material for Triste. What tender chaos, what current of luminous rhymes might cinema reveal unbridled from the daytime word? During the Bronze Age a variety of sanctuaries were built for curative purposes. One of the principal activities was transformative sleep. This montage speaks to that tradition. N. D.

Nathaniel Dorsky: Film Stills at Gallery Paule Anglim in San Francisco

The Gallery Paule Anglim, located at 14 Geary Street in San Francisco, will present an exhibition of twenty-one photo images from the films of Nathaniel Dorsky. This month-long show will open on Wednesday, January 8th and continue through Saturday, February 8th, 2014. The opening reception is on Thursday evening, January 9th from 5:30 to 7:30. Nathaniel will, of course, be present. This collection, the second that the Gallery Paule Anglim has presented in the past three years, features images from Hours for Jerome, Triste, Variations, Arbor Vitae, Love’s Refrain, Song and Solitude, Winter, Aubade, Pastourelle, The Return, August and After, April, Song, and Summer. Gallery Paule Anglim offers further information about the twenty-one individual images in this show, along with images and information on the twenty-two images from the previous exhibition in October, 2010.

I would like to offer a word or two of explanation as to how and why these two shows came about. For many years various friends had been suggesting that I have a show of stills from my films. These stills originally came into being because of the need “to have a still” for publicity whenever they were shown by a festival or other showcase. I always had mixed feelings about them because they would cause a passing image within my montage to take on too much importance. Because of this I have sometimes not used the exact image that is in the film, but have chosen an image from my 16mm out takes that was in the spirit of, or simply very similar to, an actual image in the film. This entire project came about through a series of spontaneous events. One evening I was fortunate enough to meet Nina Zurier at a New Year’s Eve party. Nina is a photo-based artist who exhibits in galleries in San Francisco and the Bay Area. She invited me over to her studio so that she could show me how nice my stills would look when professionally printed. I was rather pleased and also very thankful for Nina’s extreme generosity. Soon after that she introduced me to Paule Anglim and I was very fortunate to have Paule accept my stills for a show at her prestigious Gallery Paule Anglim in San Francisco. And now, three years later, the gift of another show.
