SUMMARY:Book Launch: Sexuality Beyond Consent by Avgi Saketopoulou (in person event & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Join queer and feminist psychoanalyst Avgi Saketopoulou on Wednesday\, Feb. 8th at 7:00pm (ET) for the launch of her new book\, SEXUALITY BEYOND CONSENT. Avgi Saketopoulou will be in conversation with professor Joshua Takano Chambers-Letson. The event will consist of a reading\, discussion\, Q&A\, and signing\, followed by a short reception with food and drink.  \nAbout SEXUALITY BEYOND CONSENT:  \nArguing that we have become culturally obsessed with healing trauma\, Sexuality Beyond Consent calls attention to what traumatized subjects do with their pain. The erotics of racism offers a paradigmatic example of how what is proximal to violation may become an unexpected site of flourishing. Central to the transformational possibilities of trauma is a queer form of consent\, limit consent\, that is not about guarding the self but about risking experience. Saketopoulou thereby shows why sexualities beyond consent may be worth risking-and how risk can solicit the future.  \nMoving between clinical and cultural case studies\, Saketopoulou takes up theatrical and cinematic works such as Slave Play and The Night Porter\, to chart how trauma and sexuality join forces to surge through the aesthetic domain. Putting the psychoanalytic theory of Jean Laplanche in conversation with queer of color critique\, performance studies\, and philosophy\, Sexuality Beyond Consent proposes that enduring the strange in ourselves\, not to master trauma but to rub up against it\, can open us up to encounters with opacity. The book concludes by theorizing currents of sadism that\, when pursued ethically\, can animate unique forms of interpersonal and social care. \nCopies of Sexuality Beyond Consent  will be available for purchase at the event. \nYou can also pre-order the book from our online store: \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us!  \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel \n  \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @bgsqd. \n  \nDr. Avgi Saketopoulou (she/her) is an award-winning psychoanalyst living and working in NYC.
