SUMMARY:Seeking the Anarchism of Love: A Discussion of Queer Tolstoy (online event)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us online for a discussion about the newly released Queer Tolstoy: A Psychobiography with author Javier Sethness Castro and Joe Scheip\, coordinator of Anarchist Political Ecology.  \nThis event will take place at 7 PM Eastern Daylight Time.\nQueer Tolstoy is a multidimensional work combining psychoanalysis\, political history\, LGBTQ+ studies\, sexology\, ethics\, and theology to explore the life and art of Count Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Our conversation will begin by contemplating queerness as a concept\, based in the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud’s ideas of universal bisexuality and polymorphous perversity. We will review Tolstoy’s same-sex attachments\, from childhood to old age\, and consider how the artist’s underappreciated queerness influenced his anarchist and anti-militarist politics. We will not\, however\, shy away from Lev’s contradictions and hypocrisy\, whether as a landlord\, a sexist\, or a difficult husband to Sofia Tolstaya. Finally\, before turning to Q&A with the audience\, we will contrast Tolstoy’s vision of free love and universal peace with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s fascist crackdown on the LGBTQ+ community and genocidal wars on Syria and Ukraine. \nCopies of Queer Tolstoy: A Psychobiography  (Routledge\, 2023\, paperback\, $44.95) are available at the Bureau’s physical store and on our online store: \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 online only.
